We are cellular signal problem solvers, not product sellers. When we solve your signal problem, our products sell. So, product selling takes care of itself. We know the cellular signal business and we know our products. We ask inquirers numerous questions and listen carefully to people’s signal issues before making any product recommendation. Sometimes it works out that we know that the person has a signal issue that our Wilson Electronics signal boosters simply will not cure.

An example would be a person who lives in the valley of a high hill and his or her service provider’s tower is on the other side of it. Sometimes, the signals from the service provider’s tower are completely blocked by the hill. In this case, our products will not help and we will not sell them claiming that they will, or even might.

There are situations where those signals come across the top of the hill, but pass too high and over the person’s building. In many of those situations, we can design a cell phone signal booster kit that will solve the problem.

A cell phone signal booster’s outside antenna must have line of sight to the signal it is to boost. This doesn’t mean that it has to see the tower; it just has to have access to the signal it is putting out. If that signal is blocked by anything, there is simply nothing for it to boost. A thousand times nothing is still nothing.

You can count on us, at UnwiredSignal.com, to always tell you the truth, even if it is something that neither of us wants to hear. We would rather miss a sale here and there by refusing to sell you a signal booster than to cause you and ourselves a huge hassle by selling you something that won’t do the job. Even people we turn down refer their friends and associates to us because they appreciate the honesty.

When we engineer cellular repeater systems for large and/or complex applications we always spec the components that the engineering formula shows will adequately do the job; we don’t pad it. What goes around, comes around. We believe it’s the way we do business that keeps companies like The Fairmont Hotels, Chevron Energy and Tyson Foods coming back to us over and over.

We will treat you with the same honesty, respect and appreciation that we have treated all of our customers with since 2001.

We, at UnwiredSignal.com, design and sell Wilson Electronics cellular signal boosters kits for all cellular frequencies, technologies, and for all types of buildings, generations (3G/4G, etc.), for vehicles in town and at remote locations, and outdoor applications. The folks over at PC World took a closer look at the wireless service speeds in the US, and this is what they found out. Keep in mind that this study only includes data snapshot measurements of wireless service these in 13 cities–Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, New Orleans, New York, San Francisco, San Jose, Seattle, and Washington, D.C.

1. Third party lab results prove that Wilson Electronics amplifiers and repeaters pick up the weakest outside signal of any other consumer type amplifier or repeater. They boost these weakest signals and project them to your cell phone or internet data card in a manner so that they can read the code carried by the signal and translate that to either voice or data on your device.
2. Wilson always has between 12 and 15 electrical engineers on staff. They ensure that Wilson  leads the industry in product performance.
3. Wilson Electronics works closely with the FCC to make certain that their products comply with both FCC regulations and service providers requirements. The oscillation protection that is incorporated into each amplifier and repeater means that you are comfortable that they will not cause an issue with your server provider, or any others in the area where you have installed them.
4. Wilson Electronics is seldom “first to the market” with new technologies, such as LTE, because of the long and rigorous testing they put new products through before making them available to their dealers. One famous tale is about a certain product that had completed its testing and was approved by Wilson’s engineers, it was almost immediately pulled from the market because Jim Wilson wanted it to be remanufactured with a paint that dissipated heat faster. This is just one example of Wilson’s dedication to getting things right, rather than having their emphasis on being “first to the market” with an item.
5. It is also not unusual for Wilson’s engineers to make internal operational changes in an amplifier or repeater, even after it has been on the market for a while, if they discover that a new “widget” has become available which would make the product better.
6. Wilson has its customer service right. They value goodwill vs. the supposed profit they could make by causing you a hassle in replacing an item or getting a refund. Every Wilson dealer can exchange or make product refunds without fear that Wilson will reject the transaction.
7. Wilson’s products are extremely reliable. The first repeater that we, at UnwiredSignal.com, sold in 2001 is still in operation, to the best of our knowledge. Thousands of the Wilson products we’ve sold since then have never given the customer any problem. If one does we will personally offer you expert technical assistance at 888-713-1243. Additionally, Wilson guarantees all of its products for replacement for a full year from the date of purchase. And, we, at UnwiredSignal.com offer a 30 day money-back guarantee on every item we sell.
8. Wilson Electronics products are competitively priced. We, at UnwiredSignal.com, go to great effort to put our kits together with the right components, including the type of coax cable, for your application. You might think you’re saving $50 at another website, but we urge you to compare “apples-to-apples”, and be sure you’re getting all of the same components in other’s kits as compared to ours.

So, again, we asked the question, “Why would we sell you anything else but a Wilson electronics product? And, where else than UnwiredSignal.com?

There is a popular and proven way to eliminate cell phone dead zones. It is called a cell phone signal booster. Most people want the wireless type of signal booster because it works without the cell phone being directly connected to a cable. But what exactly is a wireless cell phone signal booster?

Whether for a vehicle or building, the wireless type generally consists of an outside antenna which picks up the signal and sends it to a cell phone amplifier (which is placed inside and requires a power source). The amplifier boosts the signal many times over then projects it over an area inside through another (inside) antenna. For outgoing calls, the sequence is reversed.

For buildings, there are numerous variations of cellular repeaters. The one you need usually depends upon how big of an area that needs to be covered with a cell phone signal inside the building and the current outside signal strength at the place where the new outside cell phone  antenna will be placed.

Cell phone repeater kits for vehicles will normally project a signal few feet, and the main benefit is that it can increase your outside signal coverage area to 25 miles.

There is a more cheaply priced cell phone signal booster: the direct connect type. The cell phone must be connected to the booster for it to work. For more information on these, check out direct-connect amplifiers and repeaters.

Both the wireless type and direct-connect type will also boost the signal for many computer data cards.

Here is a tip to make it easier for you to know that information. Even though cell phone service providers in Canada seem to share their towers with smaller carriers more so than do the large American cell phone service providers, Canadian carriers use the same frequency bands that are used in the US.

The three national cell phone service providers in Canada are Bell Mobility, Rogers and Telus (a customer of ours that has purchased numerous mobile cell phone signal booster kits from us).  Each of these Canadian cell phone service providers uses what we know as “dual band” frequencies; both the 800 MHz band and the 1900 MHz band for voice and 3G data throughput.

So if you have a cell phone contract with one of the smaller  carriers, you’re almost guaranteed that the frequencies you’re operating on are 800 MHz and 1900 MHz.  The notable exceptions are the very few carriers that use the IDEN code reading system. This is the same network that Nextel  uses for their push-to-talk feature. Those frequencies are 806-866 MHz.

In the US  after Nextel merged with Sprint the so-called Nextel phones now use hybrid cell phones, which we won’t go into here. In Canada, to our knowledge, the “Nextel” type cell phone signal carriers frequencies are Airtel and Mike which still use 806-866 MHz.

So If you are in the market for a cell phone signal booster or repeater that will operate in Canada, and you are not contracted with Airtel or Mike it is likely that your cell phone operates on the 800 MHz and 1900 MHz band. To be sure,  your cell phone service provider will tell you the frequencies it operates on by simply calling its customer service department.  If you prefer, there is what we think is a complete list of Canadian cell phone service providers along with the frequencies they us on this Wikipedia list.

The larger cell phone service providers also use the 1700 MHz frequency band for their LTE (Long Term Evolution) networks, but this is for data only and currently for just a very few smart phones and computer air cards.

Wilson Electronics cell phone signal boosters and repeaters are authorized for use in Canada. Wilson Electronics makes cell phone signal boosters for all of the frequencies used there, including an antenna for 1700 MHz (sorry, no amplifiers or repeaters for 1700 MHz as of this date).

The Wilson Electronics mobile signal booster repeater is the 801201. Our complete list of Wilson Electronics mobile kits is located here, including power supply and the hi-gain Blackcat magnetic mount antenna is the 801201 B.

Canada cell phone signal booster repeaters for homes and buildings under 10,000 square feet  are shown here. Canadian cell phone signal booster repeaters for structures from 10,000 square feet to 50,000 square feet can be found here. For buildings to 1,000,000 square feet or more complicated applications, please call us at 888-713-1243.

There are many brands and types of cell phone signal boosters on the market. Many web sites are set up as if they expect you to have the knowledge and experience to choose the one that will cure your personal cell phone signal issue, and they seem to hope you will do so without taking up their time on the telephone.

Often times, even people who have already purchased a signal booster for one application think they can buy the same type to fix a cell signal problem at another location, or for a different type application. Generally, it doesn’t work out to be that easy.

The type and strength of the cell phone signal booster needed to solve the cell signal issue for one application is not necessarily the one that should be used to solve another one.

These are the reasons why we, at UnwiredSignal.com, urge folks to call us on the phone before buying a cell phone signal booster or cell phone repeater kit. It is the reason our telephone number is at the top of every page of our website.

We want to ask you the kind of questions that will lead to your purchasing the cell phone signal booster or repeater that will cureyour cell phone signal problem at the least cost to you.

A cell phone signal booster or repeater can only boost the signal that its outside, or donor, antenna can “see”. Usually this will be a bit stronger of a signal than the one you can get with your cell phone while standing outside on the ground.

The other kinds of components of a cell phone signal booster or repeater are completely dependent upon that signal and the area that needs to be covered with a signal, be it inside or outside. We make those decisions based upon a simple engineering formula and years of experience of designing signal booster and repeater kits.

Sometimes, we can even solve a cell phone signal problem inside a building or over an outside area if you have no cell phone signal at the location now. Not all signal problems of this type can be cured, but don’t assume there is no fix for this problem just because somebody else told you so.

We’ve solved cell phone signal problems for just about any application you can think of; oil and gas drilling rigs, drilling platforms up to thirty miles out, an underground mine, nuclear reactors, campgrounds, and boat marinas. We’ve solved cell phone signal problems for almost all types of buildings from homes to multi-story office buildings, refrigerated warehouses, hospital operating rooms, lake houses, country cabins and other buildings to 915,000 square feet in size.

So whether you have a simple cell phone signal problem, such as needing to have an outside signal repeated in and through your home or business, or one that “they” said couldn’t be cured, give us a call. There’s nothing like a lot of experience and true desire to help get a cell phone signal solved.

And, please remember, you can feel comfortable with our recommendations because we won’t recommend it if we can’t give it a 30 day money-back guarantee.

Sunday, 9/18/11, ATT officially pressed the “activate” button on its new LTE (long term evolution) network . According to both PCWorld.com and CNET, each of which tested the new network, it is fast squared. However, when comparing the test results to the speeds Verizon users currently get, keep in mind that ATT’s LTE network was virtually empty when the tests were run and Verizon’s LTE has lots of users since it has been in the marketplace for about nine months now.

Rather than give you a recap of the many articles I read about ATT’s LTE network  and the comparisons between it and Verizon’s LTE system, let me direct you to the two most succinct ones. The first is a Q & A done by Jessica Dalcourt at CNET which explains what you can and can’t do on ATT’s LTE network. The second Sascha Segan and David Peirce titled “ATT vs. Verizon: LTE, Head-to-Head”.

In the above articles you can review actual speeds of actual uploads and downloads.

Northridge Church, Plymouth MI

They had a 22,700 sq. ft. auditorium in the basement with seats for over 2,000 people plus offices with hardwood doors that ringed its perimeter. Add to that a 40′ high ceiling and the fact that they wanted the cell phone  repeater kit to handle all of the cellular carriers in the area: Verizon, Cingular (now ATT), Nextel, Nextwave, Sprint, and T-Mobile all in one large room, this was a semi-complex solution to engineer.

Hundreds of people could be using cellular devices simultaneously and extra high ceilings had to be considered. Also, the fact that Verizon and Nextel were using overlapping frequencies at the time meant large special consideration for the placement both the inside and outside antennas, to prevent oscillation (feedback).

Again, many people will tell you that Nextel and other 850 MHz repeater kits cannot be used in the same area. We, however, learned how to successfully accomplish this years ago.

Within a week the Wilson Electronics cell phone repeaters were delivered to them and one of the church members installed all three of them (Nextel/850 MHz/1900MHz) in a day or two. Of course, we had provided our normal step-by-step instructions, along with a line drawing of their repeaters and, as usual, each end of each coax cable was labeled as to what component it connected to.

He called a couple of weeks later to thank us for how well the systems worked for the church. In 2010  heard from a member of the church concerning another matter and he reported that the systems are still working well.
