The 811201 only includes the DC (vehicle) power supply. If you plan to use this amp indoors, you'll need to add the AC power supply here.
Add the AC Power Supply (optional) - details
The yagi antenna REQUIRES line of sight to the tower (it will not work if you don't know where the tower is or if there are obstructions between you and the tower). The panel antenna is also a directional antenna and must be aimed towards the tower, but it does NOT require line of sight. If you are not sure where the cell tower is, you should choose one of the omnidirectional antennas. If you already have an antenna you plan to use, you can select the "I already have an antenna" option.
Select Antenna - details
The Magnetic Mount Antenna, Booster Antenna, Omni RV Antenna, and Omni Trucker Antenna all INCLUDE cabling. The other antennas do NOT include cabling and you must select a cable here to connect the antenna to the amplifier (for the ultra-low-loss cabling, we bundle the connector you'll need to connect the cable to your adapter). If you already have a compatible cable you plan to use or if you selected one of the antennas that includes cabling, you may select the "I already have a cable" option.
Select a Cable - details
You will need an adapter cable or connector to connect the amplifier to your device. The amplifier includes a 6' extension cable to go between the amplifier and your adapter (your adapter will not screw directly into the amp). If you already own the necessary adapter, you can select the "I already have an adapter" option.

Fast Facts About This Product:

  • This amplifier is best for: Providing the most signal possible to a single 2G/3G device that has an antenna port.
  • All-in-One Kit? NO - an antenna and an adapter to connect the amp to your device are required (sold separately), see above
  • Compatibility: 800mhz/1900mhz networks, which are used by most 2G (voice) and 3G networks in the USA, including:
    • Verizon 2G/3G
    • Sprint 2G/3G
    • AT&T 2G/3G and HSPA+ (which shows up on your device as "4G" - NOT LTE)

Do a site survey before buying this amplifier! If you're purchasing this to use in just one location, we strongly recommend doing a site survey first to determine whether the amplifier will help your signal and performance and to give you an idea of what kind of results you can expect from it. Start here: Will an Antenna/Amplifier Help Me?

If your signal is extremely poor (-108db or worse), an amplifier may not help you. There must be some usable signal available for the amplifier to boost for it to be effective.

Are you stuck in a weak coverage area or traveling in a vehicle and want to improve your signal as much as possible? A good antenna is a must, but if you want the best possible signal, a direct connect signal amplifier is the answer. A direct connect signal amplifier plugs in between your external antenna and your mobile broadband device to provide the best possible signal wherever you are.

I purchased this and use it with the indoor antenna. This product works great for me, keeping my signal from what normally was low/medium strength to a now usually full signal. My download speeds are now consistently high and seem to stay high. I am very much pleased with this product. It is pricey which was my only con, but that's a minor considering how effective the product is.

Added this in-line amplifier to my previously purchased outdoor antenna, cables and assorted connectors. Have gained 8-10 dBm 3G data signal strength.

Works as advertised, much better thruput after installation. We use it with an AT&T aircard and Cradlepoint Router in our motorhome. The real test will come when we are in Yosemite National Park this summer!

Got it mounted and tested but haven't had a chance to use it in a weak area. Excellent quality!

Simple to hook up. Seems to work well so far. Connected with a 12" Magnetic Mount Antenna item 2291. Makes a nice RV installation.

With out this Wilson Amp. I could not get internet on my Verizon MiFi at my farm. I had the Willson tri band celluar antenna but it alone was not enough. Now I can get internet.

Before adding the amp, I was seeing -84dBm. When I installed the amp my signal changed to -76dBm. The amp seemed to help stabilize the signal as it was fluctuating. I'm also using the Wilson Outdoor Weatherproof Directional Panel Antenna - 30115 (See my review from 11/21/2011).

I work construction in remote areas. I went from no signal to three bars. Now I do not have to drive several miles every, several times a day,to send in reports and request. If something happened to my amplifier, I would not hesitate to order a replacement. Your responce was quick and correct. Thanks, B.Deaton
