Enjoy Premium Reception and Fewer Dropped Calls
Using state-of-the-art technology, the Wilson Booster Kit strengthens your cell phone reception and guarantees premium coverage, even when you're traveling in remote areas with a weak signal.

The booster kit comes with everything you need for installation, including a high-gain 12-inch magnet-mount antenna that attaches easily to the roof of your vehicle. The antenna is connected via cable to the amplifier, which is housed in a compact metal case that fits neatly under your passenger seat.

It's All About Power
The primary cause of dropped calls is low signal output power from the cell phone to the cell tower, which limits the phone's ability to communicate with the tower. A typical cell phone provides merely one-fifth of a watt of output power. To address this problem, the amplifier provides up to an impressive three watts of output power. In addition to the power increase from the amplifier, the included magnet mount antenna will increase the phone's output power another 10 times. Used in combination, your phone will get up to 25 times more power over using the phone alone.

Innovative Cell Phone Cradle with Built-In Antenna
Also included with the kit is a convenient car cradle that lets you dock your cell phone while driving, allowing you to keep both hands on the wheel. The cradle provides a wireless connection between your cell phone and the amplifier, even when your cell phone is removed from the cradle.

For added convenience, the cradle comes with an adhesive dash mount bracket as well as an adjustable swivel bracket, so you can find the installation that works best for you and your car.

Once installed, the booster kit will amplify the wireless signals of multiple cell phones and data cards within the vehicle, allowing passengers to enjoy excellent reception and data connection simultaneously. You'll experience fewer dropped calls, clearer call quality, and improved data rates--even with 3G technologies. Most importantly, your cell phone's range will increase dramatically, allowing you to make calls from remote areas.

Compatible with Most Cell Phone Models and Providers
The Wilson Booster Kit is compatible with all US and Canadian cellular providers, excluding iDEN / Nextel / MIKE. This kit also supports CDMA, TDMA, GSM and AMPS cell phone technologies, as well as data protocols such as GPRS, 1xRTT, HSDPA, EVDO and EDGE.

The Wilson Booster Kit includes a 30-day money-back guarantee and is backed by a one-year manufacturer's warranty.

I got junk
 
Review Date: June 24, 2010
Reviewer: Gerald Slicker, charlotte nc
Mine died after only a few uses. I only use it when needed (about 4 times) and now it will not power up any longer. What a waste of $300. It is not the power adapter either because I bought a plug in from Wilson directly as well. Very disappointed and seeing as how I use it so infrequently the return date has pasted.
Best in class!

Reviewer: Keith A. Brindle,
I was scepticle of this product because I didn't think it would work without a direct connection to the phone. Boy was I WRONG. Put it in my big rig, and without even mounting the antenna, I went to FULL signal from 1 bar. I don't drop calls much anymore (unless there just isn't a signal to be had). Great product, and I recommend it to ANYONE who drives for a living.
Works perfect

Reviewer: Susan D. Kolman, kc, mo
I love this thing. I just throw the antenna in the back seat. I don't even bother attaching the antenna to the roof of my car. I had just a few places where I dropped calls in the car and it was driving me crazy. I've got 4 bars in those spots now. Plus, I had poor reception at home. Since I've never really "installed" it (i.e antenna is thrown in back seat). I move it in the house when I need to and get 5 bars there. I just plug it in at the house using a Walmart car/wall adapter.

Reviewer: L. Clark, Eden, NC, US
Since I live in a rural area, I would always loose the signal when I would be driving around and several blocks from my house. This unit has solved that problem for me. Even at my house my phone went from 0 bars to 4 bars. Thanks for all your help.

Reviewer: Robert Valentine, SAN DIEGO, CA, US
I have a condo in Puerto Rico that is solid cement including the roofs. No reception, even on a good day. A friend recommended that I try this unit with an AC adapter. I set it up with the antenna in the window and the cradle with good line of sight for my bluetooth. I now have a good signal all the time and it also works great for my air card. Thank you Wilson Electronics.
