800 MHz Yagi and Amp/Repeater Set-Up
Test Mode: test the signal gain at the spot where the Yagi will be installed.
Step One: Set-Up an 800 MHz Amp/Repeater for one building - TEST IT
Cable: keep cable length to a minimum - send cable cut to needed lengths
Step Two: Install a Splitter or a Tap and a second inside antenna

Verizon 850 and 1900MHz signal
Signal Strength -80 to -90 on the ground
We are just tucked into a little valley here at the building
I am sure the signal would be better once on the peak of the roof.
30’ to the peak, and the signal was ranging from -80 to -90 on the ground.
Building
One Story - All offices separated w/ Drywall with 8’ drop ceilings.
40-50 cell phones at a max. in the building.
Amp/Repeater Set-Up
Yagi Antenna
20 ft. Ultra Low loss Cable to Lightening Surge Protector
Amp/Repeater
Splitter
Ultra Low loss Cable to Inside Antenna No. 1
Ultra Low loss Cable to Inside Antenna No. 2
Inside Antennas:
Panel Antenna 7 dBi / 10 dBi
Dome Antenna | 5.2 dBi
Trucker Antenna 5.12 dBi 806-894 MHz / 6.12 dBi 1850-1990 MHz
60 dB amp
Yagi Antenna to Inside Antenna - required separation 70 ft.
Yagi Antenna will need to be set up so it is more than 70 ft. from BOTH inside antennas
The buildings measure 80’ x 60’ and 48’ x 80’ connected by a 63’ x 25’ hallway. These are rough measurements but are pretty close. So what I am thinking is have the antenna on the roof of the main building as the roof is higher and then have 2 internal antennas coming off the Amp. - Shawn Persing

800 MHz Amp/Repeater Price Sheet |
The Wilson Cellular Amplifier / Repeater | Bi-Directional Amplifier | 800 MHz
has a better receiver than what is in your cell phone. Its advanced electronics are very sensitive and are able to receive small signals which would go undetected by most cell phones. It also has a better transmitter with double the power of your cell phone. This allows your voice to be heard by distant cell sites, increasing coverage up to 50 miles or more with the right outside antenna.Audio CommentsA cell phone using the Wilson amplifier/repeater set-up is safer and will use less battery power because the phone thinks it's much closer to a cell site than it actually is. Cell phones vary their power output based on their proximity to cell sites. Therefore, your phone transmits less power - resulting in safer use and longer battery life.
The Wilson Cellular Amplifier / Repeater | Bi-Directional Amplifier | 800 MHz
The benefits of an Amp/Repeater:
-- your cell phone is NOT connected by a cable
-- the signal strength is increased, reception is improved
-- a number of cell phones can use the service at the same time
-- there are locations in a building where cell phones will now work just fine

HOW OUR AMP / REPEATER WORKS
When YOUR PHONE receives a signal
The signal is received by the OUTSIDE ANTENNA from the cell site.
The signal is sent to the AMPLIFIER / REPEATER
The signal is then AMPLIFIED / REPEATED and then
The signal is transmitted to your phone through the INSIDE ANTENNA
When YOUR PHONE transmits a signal
-- your phone transmits the signal to the INSIDE ANTENNA.
-- The INSIDE antenna is connected to the AMPLIFIER/ REPEATER
-- The signal is then AMPLIFIED / REPEATED and then
-- The signal is transmitted to the OUTSIDE ANTENNA, and then
-- The signal is sent to the cell site, and then
-- The signal is sent to the cell phone of who you are talking to
Signal Strength & Our Guarantee
You need a strong signal outside your building that reaches the outside Yagi Antenna for an Amp/Repeater to work properly. So, we require that you test the signal strength of your cell signal on the building roof or other outside location to determine if there is a strong enough signal to work with an Amp/Repeater set-up. We really do not enjoy buying back an Amp/Repeater from a customer because the signal strength just is not strong enough to work properly at a location.
Amp / Repeater Set-Up
The 50dB Amp -- 45+ ft. between the outside and inside antenna
The 60dB Amp -- 70+ ft. between the outside and inside antenna
