FCC Approved
In-Line Amplification
Compensates for up to 300’ of indoor
cable losses using in-line amplification.
Onboard Software For

Automatically controlled with onboard
software, ensuring great connectivity
throughout large spaces and multi-story
buildings.

XDR allows the booster system to never
shutdown due to too strong of a signal. No
matter how strong, the booster system will
never overpower and shutdown.

WILSON PRO 1050 IN-BUILDING SIGNAL BOOSTER WITH IN-LINE AMPLIFICATION
The WilsonPRO 1050 Cellular Signal
Booster System automatically
compensates for signal loss resulting
from a long indoor RF coax cable run.
Simply connect the 1050 In-Line unit at
a cable length between 100’ and 300’
from the 1050 Main unit. When both
units are powered up, they will begin to
communicate with each other, sending signals and calculating the amount of signal
loss in the cable. Once cable losses are calculated, the gain levels are adjusted
between the 1050 Main and 1050 In-Line units so that only enough extra gain is added
to the system to compensate for the signal loss of the indoor cable.
This capability to overcome significant cable losses allows the 1050 System to provide
cellular coverage in areas that were previously impossible, such as the lower floors of
apartment buildings and other multi-dwelling units.
The WilsonPro 1050 system also includes Wilson Electronics’ state-of-the-art XDR
(Extended Dynamic Range) technology that prevents signal overload conditions which
can, in accordance with FCC regulations, force a booster to shut down or
even shut down.
When the WilsonPro 1050 system senses that any incoming cell signal is too strong,
and threatens to overload the system, XDR automatically reduces signal gain to
compensate for this overload condition while maintaining signal coverage throughout
the building. In contrast, competing signal boosters shut down when they reach
a maximum incoming signal strength threshold, causing the indoor cell signal to
drop out. Both antenna ports are located on the top of the 1050 Main unit for easy
installation. Like all WilsonPro cell signal boosters, the WilsonPRO 1050 Cellular Signal
Booster System is universal: it works for all cellular devices, all services including 4G
LTE, and all U.S. and Canada cell phone carriers.
In-Line Amplification

4IN-BUILDING SIGNAL BOOSTER WITH IN-LINE AMPLIFICATION WILSON PRO 1050
FCC Approved In-Line Amplification: Compensates for up to 300’ of
indoor cable losses using in-line amplification, providing cell coverage
to hard-to-reach areas.
Onboard Software for Better Control: Booster is automatically
controlled with automatic onboard software, ensuring great
connectivity throughout large spaces and multi-story buildings.
The booster will adjust its gain level up or down as required by the
conditions of the immediate signal environment.
Extended Dynamic Range (XDR) for continuous connectivity: Gives
the 1050 much greater tolerance for a strong incoming signal from the
tower. XDR lets the 1050 system work with an incoming signal stronger
than any competing booster and never shuts down due to a strong
outside signal.
Automatic Calibration: Main booster and In-Line booster automatically
link, communicate, and calibrate.

Key Features

WILSON PRO 1050 IN-BUILDING SIGNAL BOOSTER WITH IN-LINE AMPLIFICATION
Highest Downlink Power: Up to +15dB 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 1050 system 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.

The WilsonPRO 1050 System 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.
