The Problem
Why?
Reasons for weak signal
• Building Materials
– Radiant barrier insulation, chicken wire and stucco walls, metal studs and
roofs, concrete walls and low E windows can all block cellular signal.
8/27/2013

• Distance from Tower
– The farther away cellular devices are from the tower, the
weaker the signal will be. The result is slower data
speeds and connectivity problems.

Massive Cellphone Popularity
If it seems like everyone owns a cellphone - statistics show that perception is almost the reality. A
Pew Internet study released this past June finds that 91 percent of American adults own a
cellphone, 56 percent own a smartphone and 34 percent own a tablet.

Opportunity
• Google reports over 1,000,000 Android activations
per day.
• 350 million cell phones in US equals 108% of the
population.
• The FCC reports 78% of cellular users experience
connectivity problems.
• 80% of all cell traffic occurs inside a building.
• New category: From a customers perspective, who
can they call to fix bad cell signal?
• Who currently has the tools and experience to do
these installations?

Cell Phone Signal
• Cellular signal strength is measured in decibels (dB), and will typically range
from -50dBm to -110dBm.
• The dB scale is logarithmic, every 3dB increase doubles the power, -67dB is
twice the power of -70dB.
• Every 6dB will approximately double the coverage distance from the inside
antenna.

Gain and Loss
Gain – Gain is the ability of a device to increase the power of a signal. Gain is
measured in dB (Decibels). It is the power added to the signal by the amplifier or
antenna.
Loss - Loss, also called attenuation, is any reduction of signal strength. Loss occurs in
cables, splitters and connectors. It also occurs when the signal is transmitted through
the air. Loss is cumulative, and is subtracted from the signal.

Oscillation & Overload
• Oscillation – Occurs when inside antenna and outside antenna “talk” to each
other, causing an RF loop or feedback. Solution is to increase separation of the
antennas, or turn down gain on the amplifier. Increasing isolation is the key and
can be achieved mechanically in some cases.
• Overload – Caused by close proximity to a cell tower. The offending tower
may be on another network. If working with a directional outside antenna, re-
orienting the antenna and or reducing gain may solve the issue.

What is a signal booster?
Optional components
Tap Splitter Lightning Surge Protector
All cellular boosters include three key elements
Amplifier Adds power (Gain) to the signal in both directions, also called a BDA
or Booster. Max gain varies by application.
Outside Antenna communicates with the cell tower with increased sensitivity
and power. (Generally 7 to 10+ dB gain).
Inside Antenna communicates with the cell phone or device, also adding gain.
(Generally 5 to 7+ dB gain).
Co-ax cable is the conduit between all the elements of the system.

Getting started
Plan your attack
Site survey
• Start with a floor plan, hand drawn is fine.
Include approximate dimensions.
• Record signal strength on floor plan, inside
and outside on all sides of building.
• Mark strongest outside signal on floor plan.
Note direction of carriers towers.
• Mark areas on floor plan requiring improved
signal.
• Determine the carriers (AT&T, Verizon, etc.)
and their frequencies.

Cellular Technologies
Wilson cellular repeaters can support 2G, 3G and 4G signals for all major
US carriers.
Major US carriers and the technology they use:
– Verizon Wireless – CDMA, LTE 850mhz/1900mhz 700mhz (LTE)
– Sprint – CDMA, LTE, WI-MAX 1900mhz 800mhz, 2.5ghz (WI-MAX)
– T-Mobile – GSM and HSPA+ 1900mhz 1700mhz/2100mhz (AWS)
– AT&T – GSM, LTE, HSPA+ 850mhz/1900mhz 700mhz, 1700mhz/2100mhz
Dual Band Tri and Quint Band
4G is currently used for high speed data and is transmitted using LTE , WI-MAX, AWS and HSPA+
technologies.

Finding the frequency
Note the frequencies being used.
T-Mobile uses 1900mhz for voice in
this area and AT&T is on 850mhz
and 1900mhz.
The other frequencies listed here
are 4G frequencies and will be for
data only.

Adding additional inside antennas
Splitters –A splitter will have an even
division of signal to each port. Wilson
offers 2, 3, and 4 way splitters.
Taps – Are splitters that have an uneven
division signal. There is a tap port (-10dB)
and a pass thru port (-0.5dB).

Understanding The Lights
• Solid Green – The booster is operating properly.
• Solid red – If either of the two lights are red, the
booster has shut down to prevent oscillation. This
means that more separation will be needed
between the antennas.
• Solid Orange – The booster is experiencing
receiver overload due to close proximity of a cell
tower. If using a directional outside antenna, start
by pointing the antenna away from the nearby
tower until the lights go green. The gain can also
be reduced on the corresponding band(s) until
the lights go green, but will result in a decreased
coverage area.
8/27/2013
18
Gain adjustment
• The adjustable gain controls allow the
installer to set separate gain levels
for the 800 MHz and 1900 MHz
frequencies as needed.
• Remember, reducing the gain to
correct oscillation or overload will
reduce the coverage area of each
inside antenna.
Installation principals
1. Always point the Outside Antenna and Inside Antenna away from each other.
This helps maintain isolation between the antennas. Additional isolating
materials may be necessary.
2. Vertical separation helps increase isolation.
3. Directional antennas provide better isolation than omni directional antennas.
4. Keep cable runs as short as possible to minimize loss.
5. Other carriers may have towers closer to your customers location which can
cause overload.
6. If practical, do a soft installation of the equipment first.

Which booster?
Make sure you know what frequencies are needed.
Go to http://www.wirelessadvisor.com/ and enter the zip code of the installation. Locate the
carriers and note the frequencies. You can also call Wilson Tech Support for assistance at 866-
294-1660.
How large is the building or desired coverage area? How many floors? Larger areas will likely
require higher gain boosters.
How strong is the signal outside of the building? The stronger the outside signal, the more
coverage the booster will be able to provide. This will help confirm booster selection as well as
determine the number of inside antennas and/or inline boosters that will be needed.
