801245-EZKit: Wilson Cellular In-Building Wireless Dual-Band SOHO Cellular/PCS Amplifier/Repeater COMPLETE KIT

The Wilson Electronics 801245 SOHO Wireless Dual-Band Amplifier has been carefully engineered to enhance the performance of your cell phone or cellular data card in small office/home office applications. Its advanced technology is designed to significantly improve voice and data signal quality and reduce disconnects and drop-outs. The amplifier works with two antennas (sold separately): one antenna communicates with the cell site (the outside antenna) and the other communicates with your cell phone or laptop data card (the inside antenna).

The outside antenna will collect the outside signal and send it through a cable to the amplifier. The signal is then boosted and sent through a cable to the inside antenna, which communicates with your cell phone or data card. When the cell phone or data card transmits, the inside antenna picks up the signal and sends it to the amplifier where it is boosted and sent through the outside antenna to the cell site.

This SOHO Kit is designed to provide up to 2500 sq ft of coverage and includes:

• M54 9dB Fiberglass Exterior Antenna
• 40' LMR-240 N/Male to FME/Female Cable
• 801245 Wilson Cellular SOHO Dual-Band Amplifier/Repeater
• EA-1089A Interior Stubby Antenna

The fiberglass antenna is mounted on the edge of the roof. The 40' LMR-240 cable has the correct ends to connect between the fiberglass antenna and SOHO amplifier. The EA-1089 screws into the interior antenna connector on the SOHO amplifier.

Need a different configuration? wpsantennas.com offers a wide variety of antennas and accessories, including lower loss LMR-400 cabling and lightning protectors, to help you customize your SOHO Wireless Dual-Band Amplifier for your specific application.

Important Information Regarding Coverage:

• This amplifier/repeater, with appropriate antennas, is designed to cover a small office home office sized area and is not designed to penetrate multiple interior walls or drive multiple interior antennas. In order to cover larger areas, penetrate multiple interior walls or drive multiple interior antennas you should consider our higher power systems: 800MHz Cellular Kit, 1900MHz PCS Kit, or Dual-Band Cellular/PCS Kit
• Coverage is dependent upon the strength of the signal received from the tower at the outside antenna. At the location that the outside antenna is mounted a signal strength of at least 3 bars is required. Use of a high-gain directional antenna for the outside antenna improves coverage area.

Benefits:

• Designed specifically for small office and home office environments, apartments, high rises, condominiums and dorm rooms.
• Greatly reduces signal disconnects and drop outs
• Significantly improves voice and data signal quality
• Has up to 10 times more power than your cell phone or laptop cellular data card
• Receives and transmits better than a cell phone or cellular data card
• Improves data communication rates required for 3G technologies
• Allows multiple cell phones and cellular data cards to be used simultaneously
• Extends battery talk and standby times

• Receiver sensitivity -110dBm CDMA 1% FER
• AC power supply included
• FCC and IC (Industry Canada) type accepted
• Patent pending

Optional Interior and Exterior Antenna Upgrades:

• Outside antenna: For maximum performance, it is highly recommended that the outside antenna be located outside of the building although under certain conditions the antenna may be located inside near a window:
  • M54 9dB Fiberglass exterior antenna: High gain omni-directional antenna supporting both frequency bands
  • 301101 - Wilson Cellular Trucker: Omni-directional good performing antenna which supports both frequency bands
  • MB825: High Performance Multi-Band Directional Antenna: High gain directional multi-band antenna. As the antenna is directional, it generally limits you to one carrier.
  • 489-DB: Digital Antenna Multi-Band Directional Antenna: High gain directional multi-band antenna. As the antenna is directional, it generally limits you to one carrier.
  • 301111 - Single-band 800MHz Directional Yagi: Higher performance but supports 800MHz band only. Use CheckZip to try to determine the band(s) licensed by your carrier in your zipcode
  • 301124 - Single-band 1900MHz Directional Yagi: Higher performance but supports 1900MHz band only. Use CheckZip to try to determine the band(s) licensed by your carrier in your zipcode
• Inside antenna: The antenna that communicates with your cell phone or cellular data card should be installed in the center of where the signal needs to be amplified.
  • EA-1089 - Dual-Band Stubby Antenna
  • 301121WPS - Dual-Band (Multi-Band) Dome (requires cable)
  • 301121 - Wilson Cellular Dome (requires cable)
  • 301135 - Wilson Cellular Panel (requires cable)
  • 301103 - Wilson Cellular Magnetic Mount (requires metal surface for ground plane)
  • 301113 - Wilson Cellular Mini Magnetic Mount (requires metal surface for ground plane)
  • AA-012: Mini Magnetic Antenna (requires metal surface for ground plane)

Other 801245 Wilson Cellular Dual-Band SOHO Amplifier Kits:

• 801245-EZKit-Plus: Includes this 801245 amplifier, MB825 high-gain directional antenna, 40' LMR-240 N/Male to FME/Female cable, EA-1089 interior stubby antenna - Same as the 801245-EZKit except has a high gain directional exterior antenna

Antenna separation:

In order for your system to function properly, you must maintain adequate separation between the interior and exterior antennas. This SOHO amplifier requires a minimum of 20' of separation between the outside and inside antennas. If a directional antenna is used for either the inside or outside antenna, ensure that it is not pointed at the other antenna.

Cable:

Some antennas come with cable, other antennas do not. The catalog entry for a specific antenna will indicate whether or not cable is included or required. If cable is required or additional cable is required we have a variety of coax extensions available. The 801245 Wilson Cellular SOHO amplifier has FME/Male coax connectors so ensure that the cabling you purchase has an FME/Female connector. In general, our RG-58/LMR-195 will have the appropriate connectors. Our LMR-400 cables will require an N/Female to FME/Female adapter. We recommend adding only 15' of RG-58/LMR-195 as the additional loss will affect system performance. For longer cable additions please use LMR-400.
