Wilson DirectConnect Power Booster

We get asked quite often if  a DirectConnect type cell phone booster can be converted to a repeater type system that does not require a direct connection to a mobile phone or PC card. Instead of attaching the DirectConnect to a device, attach another antenna to it to broadcast the signal over a larger area.

Unfortunately the answer is no. DirectConnect type amplifiers do not have enough gain to broadcast over a larger area. They are tuned to connect directly to a devices antenna port.

Repeater type systems require more gain. Thankfully there are amplifiers that have higher gain and are made to be used as repeater systems. They range from vehicle cell phone repeaters to larger building cell phone amplifiers.
