The Enterprise A8000 cell signal amplifier systems provide significantly enhanced 4G
LTE and 5G coverage inside buildings where cell signals may not otherwise penetrate.
Installation of an Enterprise A8000 cell signal amplifier system results in fewer dropped
calls, improved voice quality, uninterrupted texts, and faster data speeds—along with
better audio and video streaming. The Enterprise A8000 is certified by the European
Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) for operation on cellular bands 1,3,7, & 8.
In South Africa it is certified by ICASA.
For installers and integrators, subscribing to the WilsonPro Cloud means you can sell
your clients extended service plans, generating recurring revenue streams for your
business. And for your clients, the WilsonPro Cloud provides ultra-high system reliability
and guaranteed uptime. The Enterprise A8000 amplifier connects to the WilsonPro
Cloud right out of the box via a standard Ethernet port.
The Enterprise A8000 cell signal amplifier systems also incorporate Wilson
Electronics’ state-of-the-art XDR (eXtended Dynamic Range) technology that prevents
signal overload conditions which can, in accordance with regulations, force the
amplifier to shut down. When the Enterprise A8000 cell signal amplifier systems
sense that any incoming cell signal is too strong and threatens to overload the system,
XDR automatically reduces amplifier gain to compensate while maintaining signal
coverage throughout the building. The Enterprise A8000 cell signal amplifier systems
incorporate an easy-to-use color LCD touch screen, and all antenna ports are located
on the same side of the unit for simple installation. Like all WilsonPro cell signal
amplifiers, the Enterprise A8000 cell signal amplifier systems are universal: they work
for all cellular devices.

Extended Dynamic Range (XDR) for continuous connectivity:
XDR allows the Enterprise A8000 system to make automatic,
real-time adjustments so it never shuts down due to a strong
outside signal.
Remote Connectivity and Monitoring: Unit can be remotely
monitored and cell bands turned on and o (internet connection
to unit is required).
Onboard Software for Better Control: The amplifier is
automatically controlled with built-in onboard software, ensuring
reliable connectivity throughout large spaces and multi-story
buildings. The amplifier will adjust its gain level up or down as
required by the conditions of the immediate signal environment.
Color LCD Touch Screen: The Enterprise A8000 systems utilize
a color LCD touch screen, for assessing amplifier performance
and viewing amplifier configuration.
Independently Controlled Ports: Four independently controlled
indoor antenna ports facilitating up to 100,000 sq. ft. of
indoor coverage.

Note: A Wilson Lightning Surge Protector is recommended for all building installations. Make sure the
protector is installed outside the building at point of entry connected to a suitable ground and in line
between the Outside Antennas and the Signal Amplifier.
Common mode can be used for an installation in which cell towers for dierent bands
are located in the same direction .

The Enterprise A8000 supports up to four inside antennas and are capable of
operating in traditional Common Mode, in which all amplifier cell bands use the same
outdoor antenna, or Split Mode, in which cell bands use separate outdoor antennas.

Split mode is advantageous for an installation in which cell towers for dierent bands
are located in dierent directions. Outdoor directional antennas can be pointed to
provide maximum cell coverage for each band.

Fasten a sheet of 4’x4’x ¾” plywood utilizing 4x 3/16” x 3” toggle bolts with a
minimum tensile rating of 35 lbs, then use 4x #12 x ¾” Pan Head Wood Screws
to secure the booster to the plywood.
Before assembling and mounting on the wall mount, please reference the
below diagram:
WARNING: Proper installation environment to reduce risks related to the environment, the unit must
be installed indoors only. It is the consumer’s responsibility to ensure that structural engineering
requirements for potential seismic activity are met per your local requirements. This may require
wall reinforcement. Do not install near sources of high heat or steam or where condensation is likely
to occur, such as near air conditioners. Inspect mounting location conditions to ensure proper wall
thickness and no signs of moisture or molding, etc. Do not install on a structure that is prone to
vibration or movement. The unit must be plugged into an earthed outlet ONLY.

The Enterprise A8000 systems are designed with advanced internal programming,
which allows it to automatically adjust for a variety of conditions, including the added
functionality, alerts, and troubleshooting of an enhanced cloud management and
monitoring solution.
Once the AC power cable and antenna cables are connected, scan the QR code on
the Quick Registration Card to add the amplifier to your WilsonPro Cloud account. For

The fuse mark on the switch indicates the fuse holders
behind the switch. The red/orange frame shows the
outline of the removable unit.
With a simple tool, the fuse holder unit (1) can be
removed from the filter. On the topside (2) behind
the switch there are two fuse holders for each live
connection. For fuse replacement, replace each with a
5x20mm, 0.5A, 250V time-lag fuse. On the bottom side
(3) is a clip to carry an additional spare fuse.

Green indicates that a band is operating
correctly with maximum allowable gain.
Yellow indicates band gain reduction
because of an oscillation condition.
Reposition antennas (increase separation
between indoor and outdoor antennas,
and point in opposite directions) and
then reboot (turn the unit off & on) the
Enterprise A8000 system to reactivate
the band and maximize performance.
When adequate separation is achieved,
the yellow lights will return to green
upon reboot.
Note: when the light is yellow, the band
is operational; however, performance
is reduced.
