Onboard Software For
Better Control
Each indoor antenna path is
independently and automatically
controlled with onboard software,
ensuring great connectivity throughout
large spaces and multi-story buildings.
Color LCD For Easier
Access
Unlike other boosters, the WilsonPro
4000R has a color LCD screen
with four-way navigation, allowing
integrators to have easy and eective
control of the product.
Extended Dynamic
Range For Continuous
Connectivity
XDR allows the booster to never shutdown
due to too strong of a signal. No matter how
strong, the booster will never overpower and
shutdown.

WILSON PRO 4000R IN-BUILDING MULTI-ANTENNA SIGNAL BOOSTER
The WilsonPro 4000R is the first
rack mounted, cell booster to
incorporate four separate signal
amplifiers feeding multiple indoor antennas. The 4000R literally delivers
the power of four boosters in a single rack mount unit, and provides cell coverage for
up to 100,000 square feet of indoor space, or even more depending on the strength
of the incoming signal from the tower.
Designed to provide enhanced in-building cellular coverage for commercial and
large residential spaces, the WilsonPro 4000R amplifies weak cell signals to provide
reliable voice and data coverage – including 4G – to inside spaces where signals may
not penetrate.
Like all WilsonPro cellular signal boosters, the WilsonPro 4000R features cell
site protections that auto-detect and prevent any cell tower interference. Wilson
Electronics quality and an industry-leading three-year warranty make the 4000R a
clear choice for the professional technology integrator.
The 4000R Literally Delivers The Power Of Four Boosters

Easy rack-mounted installation: The 4000R is intended to fit into
an existing server rack. This design allows for a neat and clean
installation while leaving the unit easily accessible.
Onboard Software for Better Control: Each indoor antenna path is
independently and automatically controlled with onboard software,
ensuring great connectivity throughout large spaces and multi-story
buildings. Since all ports are independently controlled, each can
adjust its gain level up or down as required by the conditions of the
immediate signal environment without disrupting coverage from any
other antenna.
Extended Dynamic Range (XDR) for continuous connectivity: Gives
the 4000R much greater tolerance than any competing booster for
a strong incoming signal from the tower. XDR lets the 4000R system
work with an incoming signal stronger than any competing booster
and never shuts down.
Color LCD for Easier Access: Unlike other boosters, the Wilson
4000R has a color LCD screen with four-way navigation, allowing
integrators to have easy and eective control of the product.

Key Features

WILSON PRO 4000R IN-BUILDING MULTI-ANTENNA SIGNAL BOOSTER
Highest Downlink Power: Up to +12dB more downlink power than
the competition allows for stronger signal in environments where
the incoming signal is weak. The benefit is a stronger signal sent to
the inside antennas, providing larger coverage area from a single
booster.
Highest Uplink Power: This allows for a stronger signal transmitted
to the tower, up to +3dB more than the competition, providing greater
user capacity and increased range from the cell site.
Lower Overload and Shutdown Threshold: No matter how strong
the outside signal, the WilsonPro 4000R never shuts down. This is a
huge benefit in strong signal environments like cities and locations
close to a carrier tower.
Intelligent Control: WilsonPro cellular boosters automatically adjust
signal gain while still providing even signal coverage throughout the
building.
Sophisticated Software: Cellular signals are constantly fluctuating.
The software is always monitoring signal levels and making
immediate adjustments as needed, allowing the booster to operate at
maximum gain consistently.

Setup
The WilsonPRO 4000R is designed with advanced internal programming, which allows
it to automatically adjust for a variety of conditions, while still boosting weak signals.
Once the AC power cable and antenna cables are connected, turn the unit on by
toggling the power switch located near the AC power receptacle, located at the rear
of the unit.

The 4000R takes about 20 seconds to boot up. Once boot up is complete, the status
screen will appear, showing the amplification and status of each port and band.
A solid green light indicates that a
band/port is operating correctly with
maximum allowable gain.
A solid yellow light indicates band/
port gain reduction because of an
oscillation condition. Reposition
antennas (more separation between
indoor and outdoor antennas, and
pointed in opposite directions) and
reboot (power cycle) the 4000R
for maximum performance. When
adequate separation is achieved, the
yellow lights will return to green upon
reboot. Note that when the light is
yellow, the band/port is operational;
however, performance is reduced.

In the presence of a strong outdoor
cell tower signal, the 4000R will
reduce it’s “boost” (Gain) using
internal Automatic Gain Control (AGC).
This gain reduction is necessary to
stay within FCC requirements. When
this occurs, the 4000R has reached
the ‘speed limit’ so this is good!
The outside antenna should always
be adjusted until the “DL” bar is
maximized and “AGC” is indicated, if
possible with a weak outside signal,
this may not be possible.

The term “IC” before the radio certification number only signifies that Industry Canada technical specifications were met.
Each Signal Booster is individually tested and factory set to ensure FCC compliance. The Signal Booster cannot be
adjusted without factory reprogramming or disabling the hardware. The Signal Booster will amplify, but not alter
incoming and outgoing signals in order to increase coverage of authorized frequency bands only. If the Signal Booster
is not in use for five minutes, it will reduce gain until a signal is detected. If a detected signal is too high in a frequency
band, or if the Signal Booster detects an oscillation, the Signal Booster will automatically turn the power o on that
band. For a detected oscillation the Signal Booster will automatically resume normal operation after a minimum of 1
minute. After 5 (five) such automatic restarts, any problematic bands are permanently shut o until the Signal Booster
has been manually restarted by momentarily removing power from the Signal Booster. Noise power, gain, and linearity
are maintained by the Signal Booster’s microprocessor.
The Manufacturer’s rated output power of this equipment is for single carrier operation. For situations when multiple
carrier signals are present, the rating would have to be reduced by 3.5 dB, especially where the output signal is re-
radiated and can cause interference to adjacent band users. This power reduction is to be by means of input power or
gain reduction and not by an attenuator at the output of the device.
