The packaging for this indicates the ability to boost signals up to 1500 feet. I purchased this for use in my home and found that it would not work for my application.  I called Wilson Electronics for technical assistance. They were very good at helping me troubleshoot my issues. Ultimately, we determined it would not work for me and I returned it.

The unit comes with a directional antenna. It would not work for me because there is a large hill between my home and the nearest cell tower 1.7 miles away. The signal bounces into my location and is very weak. This type of situation calls for an omnidirectional antenna.

Given the weakness of the signal, we determined the amp would not be powerful enough to provide a useful boost. I would need to purchase on many times the cost of this DT to see a usable signal.

In addition, the useful distance of the small desktop antenna provided with this booster is only useful within a few feet. Ideally, it will provide signal within close proximity of your desk for a single room in your home but nowhere near what would be required to provide signal to an entire floor of your home for example. This information came from a very honest and helpful tech support person at Wilson.

I returned this unit and have opted not to purchase another since the appropriate booster for my home would cost thousands.
