How Does The Wilson SignalBoost Cellular Repeater Work?
wilson signalboost dt desktop cellular repeaterThe SignalBoost DT works with two antennas (included). The onboard antenna communicates with your cell phone or laptop data card, and the cradle antenna communicates with the cell tower. The included directional cellular antenna is designed for installation outside on a wall or a pole, or inside on a window or wall, depending on your preferred configuration. The antenna receives the outside signal and sends it through the coax cable to the SignalBoost DT, where it is amplified and retransmitted much more strongly through the onboard antenna into the room. When the onboard antenna picks up a signal from your cell phone or data card, the amplifier boosts that signal and transmits it through the cable to outside antenna and back to the cell site. (Note: the SignalBoost DT will only operate if there is adequate signal where the outside antenna is placed to amplify.). The better the outside signal, the more coverage from the inside antenna.
