Wilson Electronics introduces new enhanced cellular signal amplifier

16 May 2019

Wilson Electronics has announced the WilsonPro Pro 1100, which provides the highest uplink and downlink power of any cell signal amplifier at its price point, according to Wilson.

The Pro 1100 will provide improved cell signal quality for its users due to its ability to reach cell towers that are further away. The Pro 1100 is a solution for retailers wanting to bring their online experience into brick-and-mortar locations where cellular coverage can be challenging. The strengthened cellular connectivity provided by the Pro 1100 also increases employee productivity and reduces WiFi and network traffic in commercial office spaces. In addition, the Pro 1100 enables restaurants to deploy SMS notifications for waiting guests and provides strong cellular service so patrons can stay connected while they dine.

To reach cell towers from a great distance, it is important for cell signal amplifiers to have high uplink power. The Pro 1100 features a strong uplink power of up to 25 dBm, enabling it to reach these faraway cell towers. High downlink power is also crucial for greater indoor coverage, and the Pro 1100’s enhanced downlink power of 15 dBm enables the cell signal amplifier to cover mid-sized spaces up to 35,000 ft2, pending strong outside signal.

The Pro 1100 includes a color LCD touchscreen with enhanced navigation capabilities that enable users to monitor the unit’s performance, adjust the antenna, view signal strength meters and turn cell bands on and off. The kit will also include an outdoor wide-band directional antenna and an indoor omni-directional wide-band dome antenna for superior coverage for mid-sized commercial buildings.

Like most WilsonPro amplifiers, the Pro 1100 has extended dynamic range (XDR) technology to ensure the amplifier is always optimizing performance and will never overload or shut down, regardless of changes in outdoor signals. The Pro 1100 has cell site protections that auto-detect and prevent any cell tower interference, as well as a warranty that protects the product for three years.

The WilsonPro Pro 1100 is available immediately for purchase through authorized WilsonPro distributors and dealers. Visit the Wilson webpage for more information.
