  Installation Guide Addendum (PDF)

This system is a complete kit compatible with 1900MHz Cellular Systems. Package will contain all items required to build one full amplifier/repeater system. All cables are crimped and all necessary adapters are included. The only additional items you will typically require are the pole to mount the Yagi antenna on and a ground wire if you choose the optional lightning suppressor. Need custom cables? We can custom build the cables to your required length using either LMR-400 or lower loss LMR-600. Contact us at (877) 594-5766 for more information.

1900MHz systems work for cellular systems using the1850-1910/1930-1990MHzbands. The band that your carrier is using depends on your zip code. In particular, this system is not compatible with iDEN (Nextel, Southern LINC, Mike) and PCS only carriers such as Sprint PCS and T-Mobile. If you are unsure of the frequency band you are using, please contact us.

Building Cell Phone Repeater Package Contents:

• Exterior Antenna: 301111 - 14dBi Directional Yagi or Y80612 - Antenex 14dBi Fully Welded, Gold Anodized Directional Yagi
• LMR-400 Ultra Low Loss Cable (Yagi to Amplifier)
• One of the 1900MHz Cellular Specialties In-Building Wireless 1900MHz
  • CSI-BDA51062-P - Cellular Specialties 62dB In-Building Wireless 1900MHz PCS Bi-Directional Amplifier
  • CSI-DSP85-P - Cellular Specialties Wireless Engine 85dB In-Building Wireless 1900MHz PCS Bi-Directional Repeater
  • 301121WPS - Dual-Band (Multi-Band) Ceiling Mount dome antenna, 301121 - Wilson Cellular Dome (Ceiling Mount) Antenna, 301135/CELLMAX-D-25 - Panel (Wall Mount) Antenna or 301123 - Wilson Cellular Dual-Polarity Multi Floor Dome (Ceiling Mount). The 301121WPS dome is most commonly used. Example usage. For a second interior antenna see Add On Interior Antenna Kit for Repeater Systems

    Does not include pole/mast for mounting Yagi - seeFMW4-YMST4: Antenex 4' x 1-1/4" Aluminum Mast and 4" Standoff Wall Mounts (2 Brackets)

    Antenna Separation:

    In order for your system to function properly, you must maintain adequate separation between the interior and exterior antennas. The following rules will help you maintain adequate separation:

    • Ensure that the exterior Yagi antenna is aimed away from the interior dome antenna.

    • Ensure that you have at least 75' of separation  when using the 62dB amp and at least 100' of separation on a 85dB amp.

    How dB Affects Coverage:

    A 6dB increase in signal doubles the interior coverage distance while a 6dB decrease will halve your interior coverage distance. Likewise, a 3dB increase will increase the interior coverage distance by 43% and a 3dB decrease will decrease it by 30%. For this reason, we recommend mounting the Yagi as high as possible (to clear obstructions) in order to obtain a stronger donor signal.
