There are Wilson cell phone and air card antenna adapters for over 500 mobile models. They are approximately 18″ long. One end, FME Male, connects to the antenna cable. The other end connects to your cell phone.

Unless it is a very old mobile-phone, it does not connect to the charge port on the bottom of the phone.

Back Plug

Plugs into the adapter port on the upper back portion of your phone. A rubber or plastic plug may need to be removed. Press firmly to ensure a good connection – do not twist. Using too much force could damage your phone

Back Plug With Top Replacement Antenna

(Figures 1 & 2) Unscrew your original antenna which is blocking the adapter port – may have reversed threads. (Figure-3) Screw your included replacement antenna into the top of the phone. Your antenna adapter will now fit into the back of the phone – see above for Back Plug instructions

Bottom Plug

Plugs into the bottom of your cellphone. Push until you hear a click. Press button(s) in middle or on sides to release connecter from phone. Note: an RF charger may be available for your phone – it will allow you to charge your phone while using your external antenna.

The term 4G appears to be the “buzz” word for Q4 of 2010. So what is it? 4G refers to the fourth generation of cellular wireless standards. It is an heir to 3G and 2G standards, with the goal of providing a wide range of data rates, up to ultra-broadband (gigabit), to mobile as well as stationary users. Pre-4G technology is currently being deployed in a number of major US markets. The purpose of this article is to inform you of what 4G is and is not and how cell phone signal boosters will integrate with 4G.

The term 4G is a little confusing, but I will try to break it down as simply as possible. As defined by ITU-R (International Telecommunication Union – Radiocommunications sector) 4G is to provide data rates of up to 100Mbps for mobile devices and up to 1Gbps for stationary devices. Current networks marketed as 4G are not truly 4G. Verizon’s 4G LTE network, which is to roll out in 38 major cities by the end of the year and cover roughly 100 million people, will only support 5-12Mbps on the downlink. While this is a far cry from the required 100Mbps to be considered true 4G it is still roughly 5 to 10 times better than the average 1Mbps downlink currently available with EV-DO. Sprint’s 4G network, based on WiMAX, offers realistic download speeds of roughly 4 Mbps. Again, not true 4G. True 4G speeds are not expected to be reached until the release of LTE-Advanced for Verizon, AT&T, and others or WiMAX 2 for Sprint. These true 4G technologies are still in ITU approval process are not expected to be deployed for at least another 2-3 years.

Thinking about purchasing a dual band cell phone signal booster but not sure about how 4G will fit into the picture? Because almost all commercially sold dual band cell phone signal boosters today work in the 850 and 1900 MHz range, they will not work with emerging 4G LTE or WiMAX technologies, which are 700 MHz (Verizon 4G and eventually AT&T 4G) and 2.5GHz (Sprint 4G) respectively. They will also not work with the AWS 1700MHZ and 2100MHz frequencies used by T-Mobile 3/4G. However, here are some points to consider if you’re thinking about purchasing a cell phone signal booster but are on the fence about how 4G fits into the picture:

• 4G and the new frequency bands will be used mostly for data, with voice still being transmitted in the 850MHz or 1900MHz range. If you use your phone as a phone and don’t have a data plan or use Wi-Fi for data, you don’t have to worry about the booster not working or becoming obsolete. This may not be the case with all carriers so it is best to call your carrier and see what frequencies they use for voice in your specific area.
• 4G is not compatible with 3G or older phones. You will need to purchase a new phone if you plan on taking advantage of 4G data speeds. However, 4G phones will be backwards compatible with 3G networks, so if you travel outside of your 4G city you will still have access to 3G data speeds.
• Slow 4G rollout. According to Verizon’s website, they do not plan on having 4G coverage to match their existing 3G coverage for another 3 years. If you live in a rural area and don’t currently have 3G coverage, you shouldn’t expect 4G coverage for at least another 2 – 3 years if at all. AT&T is still focusing on upgrading its 3G network and does not plan on rolling out 4G LTE until sometime in 2011, and just like with Verizon, you’d better plan on waiting a while longer if you don’t live in a major metropolitan area.
• Limited 4G phone selection. Most of the demand for 4G is coming from businesses, not consumers. With that in mind, carriers will be focusing on developing reliable 4G laptop solutions before focusing on affordable 4G phones for consumers. Expect maybe 1 or 2 phone models per carrier to choose from until 4G has been fully deployed.

If you came across this article you more than likely do not live in a major metropolitan area, as big cities generally have excellent cell phone coverage, and you wouldn’t be searching for information on cell phone signal boosters. So you’d like to purchase an installed cell phone signal booster, but want to make sure that you’re not going to have to replace your $300+ investments in another couple years? It is safe to say that if you do not live in a major metropolitan area and you do not currently have 3G in your area, or it took your carrier a couple years to get 3G coverage to you, a dual band 850MHz/1900MHz cell phone signal booster will not become obsolete any time soon.

Additionally, while there are band specific amplifiers on the market, I am currently not aware of any tri-band or quad-band boosters that will work with all carriers and all data technologies. Inevitably, as 4G LTE and WiMAX start to catch on, cell phone signal booster manufacturers will start developing compatible boosters. You simply can’t defeat physics and no matter what new cell phone technology emerges there will always be a need for cell phone signal boosters for some people.

Unfortunately, if you plan on jumping on the 4G bandwagon as soon as it comes to your area and find that your signal boosters strength isn’t what you hoped it would be there currently isn’t much you can do to improve your 4G data. You’ll just have to wait until cell phone booster manufacturers release an affordable multi-band booster. On the plus side, if you already have a dual band booster installed in your home, the cabling used to connect your antennas to your amplifier will be compatible with 4G boosters. Just purchase a new 4G booster and antennas (once available) that are specified for your existing cable (usually either 75 Ohm Coax or 50 Ohm Coax) and you’re good to go. There is no need to spend hours running new cable.

The phone amplifiers make sure that the signal that is being received and sent is increased, making it easier for you and the other person on the line. Still not sure how this would work? Imagine an old fashioned radio with an antenna. Imagine that you are trying to tune into your favorite station with the antenna down. Now, extend that antenna and all the sudden you are able to hear everything perfectly. The cellphone signal amplifier works in the same manner as the antenna on the old fashioned radio.

When you start shopping for the phone amplifiers, you will find that there are various types of options for you to pick from. Mainly, the difference is in the size of the cellphone signal amplifier. This is because the larger ones will be able to boost the power more while the smaller ones will not boost the power as much.

There is also the option of attaching the cellphone signal amplifier to your vehicle. This way, you will not have to attach it to your phone, but it will always help you increase the power boost when you are in the vehicle. This is perfect for those who normally have great reception but when they travel in their car or truck, they lose it. You will have the amplifier in the vehicle and it will be wired to an antenna that is attached to the outside of the vehicle.

Once you are ready to start shopping for your cellphone signal amplifier, you will want to make sure that you are taking the time to shop around for a good bit. You want to make sure that you are only considering the phone amplifiers that are made by a quality company and that are within your price range. Remember though, you can’t judge the quality of the cellphone signal amplifier by the price alone.

After you start to get used to using your new cellphone signal amplifier, you will find that you simply do not like making calls without it. You will be able to hear the difference between the phones that use phone amplifiers and the phones that do not use them. Before you know it, all of your friends and family will be asking you about the amplifier you are using because they too are sick and tired of having poor reception, especially for all of the important calls they make.

A broadband internet phone service uses your high speed internet to connect and make phone calls. This is further made possible by a technology which will make use of the internet service that can connect to your phone. The internet phone makes voice calls easier to make as well as, in most cases, more affordable.

Hardware will be used to connect your phone and your internet connection to result in a broadband service. This may only be possible if you are using fast enough connections. For those who use dial up connections as well as satellite or other wireless services, an internet phone or a VoIP service may not be possible. These types will not be able to allow you to connect fast enough in order to allow quality voice calls.

Ideally, what are needed can be digital connections or DSL and a cable modem service. Most broadband services will allow these two connections for voice calls as they are fast enough.

There may be some internet providers which will allow you to use a broadband internet phone service with slower connections. But, there may also be those which won’t be able to give you phone services even if you have DSL or a cable modem. So, it is important that even before you subscribe to their services, you need to make sure that you can get phone services if you really need them.

Broadband phone plans are available in most providers with the use of subscription plans. These can be on top of your monthly internet plans or included in them. Ask your internet provider to be sure. Look at different plans from different providers. Check which one will be able to give you the most advantageous services as well as one which will be affordable to you.

Look at the features. There may be those which will include unlimited calls or just several free minutes. The calls that you can make are usually international. Both the local and international calls that you will make may have the same charges. If you cannot get an unlimited call service, at least choose one that has the highest amount of free minutes of calls.

Above the free calls that you have or after you have consumed your usage amount, normal call rates may apply.

A broadband phone may be less reliable as one that uses the standard telephone lines. Although downtimes may occur, these are not very often and will only be a minor problem that you have to face. You just need to find a reliable provider. If your internet service is good enough with less downtimes, the broadband internet phone service will be good enough as well.

Mobilais telefons ir bezvadu ierīce balss un datu pārraidei lielos attālumos. Tas ir viens no bezvadu telefonu veidiem. Tas balstās uz komunikācijām starp telefonu un bāzes staciju, kas savstarpēji atrodas relatīvi tuvu (GSM ne tālāk par 35km). Lai nodrošinātu sakarus plašākā teritorijā, lieto vairākas bāzes stacijas, kas nodrošina pārklājumu savā apkārtnē (šūnā). Šī iemesla dēļ, dažās valodās mobilos telefonus dažreiz sauc par šūnu telefoniem (angliski cell phone).

Mobilais telefons darbojas pēc bāzes stacija-klients principa. Mobilo sakaru operators noteiktā teritorijā uzstāda vairākas bāzes stacijas, pie kurām pieslēdzas klientu mobilie telefoni. Klientam pārvietojoties, mobilais telefons automātiski pārslēdzas starp bāzes stacijām. Komunikācijas starp bāzes staciju (torni) un telefonu var būt analogas vai digitālas. Visi mūsdienu mobilo telefonu standarti lieto digitālās komunikācijas.

Nav nekāds jaunums, kad mobilajos telefonos ražotāji cenšas iedabūt arvien vairāk papildus funkcijas. Grūti pat uzskaitīti visas, pat ne modernākā smartfona, iespējas. Viegla un salīdzinoša ātra pieeja internetam, foto un video uzņemšana jau samērā skatāmā kvalitātē un liels vairums ielādējamu aplikāciju ar milzums daudzumu iespēju. Es pats lietoju Apple iPhone un iTune veikals piedāvā gan bezmaksas gan par nelielu samaksu aplikācijas jeb programmiņas par kuru esamību pat domas nebija. Piemēram pret odu aplikācija, tāluma mērīšanas iespēju ar ultraskaņas ( jeb ko citu) palīdzību vai auto „black box” ( audio video ieraksts ar piefiksētu pārvietošanas pa karti un reģistrētu braukšanas ātrumu). Tehnoloģijas attīstās milzu soļiem un mobilajā telefonā paliek arvien mazāk vietas pamatfunkcijas –balss komunikācijas veikšanas uzlabošanā.

Lai gan mobilo telefonu operatori, Latvijā pagaidām tie ir Latvijas Mobilais Telefons, Tele 2 un Bite (Vodafone) jā, un vēl Triatel, pamazām pievieno bāzes stacijas saviem esošajiem, būsim godīgi-līdz 100% pārklājumam neviens vēl nav ticis. Klientu piesaistei gan visi operatori, vieni vairāk citi ne tik brutāli atklāti, cenšas iestāstīt, ka viņu pārklājums ir nu gandrīz tie maģiskie 99.9% Mūszemes teritorijas, bet realitāte nu nav tik spoža. Meklēsim iespēju uzlabot sakaru rādiusu no otras puses- varbūt var ko darīt ar mūsu ikdienas neatņemamā līdzgaitnieka- Iphone, Blackberry, Nokia, Samsung, LG, Sony Ericsson u.c. mobilo telefonu. Un tiešām, tāda iespēja pastāv.

Sakarā ar to, ka mūsdienu mobilo telefonu aparātu izmēri ir ļoti mazi, konstruktoriem nav iespējams tajos ievietot efektīvu pilna izmēra antenu. Tādēļ praktiski visu modeļu telefona aparātu darbību teorētiski un praktiski var uzlabot, palielinot antenas efektivitāti. Šī ierīce, pasīvais antenas pastiprinātājs (antena Booster angl.), ir svārstību kontūrs, kas mijiedarbībā ar telefonā iebūvēto mazizmēra antenu caur induktīvi-kapacitatīvu saiti, efektīvi palielina radioviļņu koncentrāciju un uzlabo ienākošā signāla kvalitāti un līmeni tieši telefona korpusā. Ir antena pastiprinātāji kuri konstruēti, izgatavoti un paredzēti visiem mobilajiem telefoniem, kas darbojas 800/900/1800/1900 Mhz frekvencēs. To var lietot jebkāda modeļa un ražotāja telefona aparātos. Pareizi uzstādīta antena var uzlabot telefona darbības efektivitāti vietās ar vāju tīkla pārklājumu, kā arī liftos, tuneļos, ēkās un tamlīdzīgi.

Parasti šīs ierīces nepatērē elektroenerģiju un nav kaitīga apkārtējai videi un cilvēku veselībai.
Tāpat arī antenas uzstādīšanai nav nepieciešamas speciālas zināšanas, instrumenti vai speciālistu palīdzība. Parasti jāseko vienkāršajiem soļiem kas norādīti pievienotajai instrukcijai un to spēj izdarīt jebkurš.

Tirgū šodien eksistē arī dažādi citi mobilo telefonu signālu pastiprinātāju ierīces, bet par to citreiz.

Let us start by defining the two technologies. Most wireless cell phone signal boosters (also called amplifiers and repeaters) work by capturing the signal outside, amplifying it, and then redistributing it inside. This is done through 3 major pieces: an outside antenna (either directional or omni-directional), the amplifier, and the inside antenna (either directional or omni-directional). The outside signal can be weak or strong, but must be present in order for the booster to operate properly. In general, the weaker the signal outside, the more gain the amplifier needs to provide in order to offer adequate coverage inside. Femtocells are basically miniature cell phone towers, about the size of a wireless router, that are provided by your wireless carrier and are installed in your home to provide coverage of up to a 40′ radius. They are essentially a Wi-Fi router for cellular and PCS frequencies. Information is transmitted wirelessly from your phone to the femtocell, then from the femtocell to the carrier via your broadband internet connection.

Now let’s get down to the purpose of this article. The easiest way to decide which product is right for you is to take a look at the comparisons below.

Connectivity

• Booster: Dual Band models work with virtually all carriers except Nextel and other iDEN push-to-talk networks, although there are boosters made specifically for Nextel.
• Femtocell: Only works with one specific service provider. Ex. You are a Verizon Wireless subscriber. Provided there is little coverage by all carriers in your current location, installing a Verizon Network Extender will help you out but don’t plan on your AT&T friends raving about excellent coverage when they stop over to watch the game.

Data

• Booster: Dual Band models work with data plans for all carriers using 850/1900 MHz for their data. This is most carriers, but does not include T-Mobile 3G
• Femtocell: Supported data rates vary by carrier. Some femtocells do not support data at all. Ex. Verizon’s Network Extender currently only supports 1X CDMA, not EVDO or 3G. Generation 1 of Sprint’s Airwave only supports 1X CDMA, not EVDO or 3G. AT&T’s microcell supports 3G data, but only works with 3G phones.

Multiple Users

• Booster: Most dual band wireless models support more than a handful of users so everyone can be talking or surfing at the same time.
• Femtocell: Depends on the carrier. Sprint’s AIRWAVE allows up to 3 simultaneous users. Verizon’s Network Extender supports up to 3 simultaneous users. AT&T’s Microcell supports up to 4 simultaneous users.

Bandwidth

• Booster: N/A
• Femtocell: Prepare to allot anywhere from 40Kbps to 300kbps of your upload and download bandwidth depending on the number of active calls / data sessions.

Cost

• Booster: Basic Dual Band home coverage kits can start as low as $325
• Femtocell: Anywhere ranging from free (with a subscription to unlimited calling), to $99 with a $5/mo fee, to a $250 one time fee.

Installation

• Booster: Installation of most cell phone signal boosters can be completed in anywhere from 1 to 4 hrs.. Mounting the outside antenna, mounting the inside antenna and running the cabling between everything is the most time consuming. Amplifier and internal antenna placement are completely flexible.
• Femtocell: Physically easier to install – requiring just a simple Ethernet connection to your existing router. However, most require a GPS lock in order to activate and confirm location, so it is advised to install next to a window. However, it is also advised that they be placed in a central location for best coverage. Raise your hand if you have windows located in the center of your home?

Boot Up Time

• Booster: N/A – once the amplifier is powered on you can make and receive calls.
• Femtocell: Some femtocells require up to 60 minutes to set up and stabilize for the first time. Subsequent power cycles take 10-15 minutes to stabilize.

Call Hand-Off

• Booster: N/A – a cell phone signal booster is an extension of the outside tower so you are essentially already connected to it when making and receiving calls. There is no hand-off to take place. If you are connected to a tower as you’re driving up your street, you’ll be connected to the same tower once in your home (just with a stronger signal)
• Femtocell: Seamless call transfer to the tower as you leave the femtocell coverage area, but you’re going to have to hang up and re-dial if you’re entering the coverage area.

In summary, if you live in an area with absolutely no cell coverage, only affiliate with people who are using the same carrier as you, don’t mind giving up some of your already-paid-for broadband bandwidth, will never have a need for 3 or more people to be on the phone at the same time and don’t mind saying “I’ll have to call you back, I’m at home now” then a femtocell might just be the solution for you. However, if you want to provide great cell and data coverage to just about anyone who enters your home (regardless of carrier), value your already precious bandwidth, and don’t mind rolling up your sleeves for a few hours to do the installation, then an installed Cell Phone Signal Booster may be the right solution for you.

The antenna is omnidirectional and hence it can perceive the signals in different directions and transmit them. They are portable with a magnetic base that can be fixed in any part of the vehicle based on the available space. The main advantage of the mobile vehicle antenna is that you need not spend your time screwing or drilling in order to fix it up. The antenna comes along with a cable wire of around 5 metres long. The antenna can be easily plugged on to the USB modem and hence you need not buy any additional products for its usage.

The most important thing you need to look before buying a mobile vehicle antenna is its compatibility. You need to check whether it is compatible with the sim you use. Most of the antennas are compatible with vodafone, virgin, O2, Huawei and orange. Hence it is very essential to know about the compatibility and usage of every antenna before you buy. The antenna is very easy and quick to use. All you need to do is to assemble the antenna and the connector inside the vehicle. The antennas are available in different frequencies.

There are different forms and types of mobile vehicle antenna based on the needs and requirements. Whip antenna and antenna tuners are also used to maximize the signals and connectivity range in the vehicle. The whip antenna is either single or split based on the usage and is manufactured out of rugged glass. They are most commonly used along with an antenna tuner for maximum coverage. They can be used for an efficient operation between 4 to 40 kHz. You can get a flexible antenna based on your preferences and needs at the various stores online.

The mobile vehicle antenna can be bought from popular stores and shops. Many shops online sell them for a cheaper price. Generally the price of the antenna may vary from 35$ to 60$. Shipping is done free of cost in most of the online shops. All you need to do while shopping is to make sure you get the right mobile vehicle antenna. Don’t forget to check for quality and its compatibility. Make sure you get an antenna which has a warranty minimum for at least one year. This would help you to mitigate your risks when you buy an antenna.

1) How the external antenna will connect to your phone: Many phones have an external antenna port on the back that can either plug into a car kit with an external antenna connection or can be used with an external antenna adapter. When these options are available, any external antenna tuned to the frequencies the phone uses are an option (limited only by where the antenna will be used as discussed below).

The current trend with cell phone manufacturers is to not add the external antenna port as they are moving away from car kits due to Bluetooth technology. When the phone does not have an external antenna port, the only option is a wireless amplified repeater kit. Over the past few years there have been a number of products advertised as working on phones without an external antenna port. One of the most recent examples was a signal boosting sticker you attach to the back of the phone. Regrettably, none of these products have proven to provide any signal benefit at all. As a result, there is not an inexpensive way on the market at the moment to increase signal strength in these cell phones.

2) Omni-directional and directional antennas: Omni-directional antennas pick up the signal in a full 360 degree radius, and so should be installed in a vertical position in the area of strongest signal. Directional antennas, however, pick up the signal in only one direction. This type of antenna is designed for use on stationary objects such as buildings. It should be mounted above tree lines and pointed directly toward the nearest cell tower. The main benefit of a directional antenna is its ability to focus its signal in one direction. If the antenna is not aimed correctly it will lose its effectiveness.

3) Choosing an antenna that works with your service provider: When purchasing 1000 a new antenna, be sure it is compatible with your provider’s phone frequency. For instance, while the same model of phone may be offered by Verizon and AT&T, and therefore the same antenna provided, each service provider has its own frequency. Even though the Verizon antenna may fit in the AT&T phone (and vice versa), it will not provide any signal due to its tuning to a different set of frequencies.

Almost all service providers use frequencies compatible with Dual Band/Tri-Mode antennas; the exception is Nextel. Dual-band antennas work with two frequencies, and while one of the frequencies usually supports Nextel phones, it is best to purchase an antenna that is made to support just Nextel phones. This will assure more consistent, quality signal reception.

Knowing how the antenna will connect to your phone, the difference between omni-directional and directional antennas, and how to choose one that works with your service provider is essential when purchasing an external antenna. Having the right antenna can result in a gain of up to13 dBi. Understanding how antennas work will allow you to purchase the correct antenna and therefore optimize your phone’s ability to receive signals.

Features

First there is the new "retina" display, boasting an eye popping 960×640 resolution screen with 326ppi (pixels per inch). This new screen shows sharper text and the clearest video of any phone out there. The new display also enables great angle viewing and is able to display 720p high definition video.

In addition to showing great video, the new iPhone 4 also takes great videos as well. While the new 5mp camera may not have the highest megapixel count out there, the software is what enables crystal clear pictures and video. Also with the addition of an LED flash your videos and pictures in low light come out clear as day.

The other great addition to the video capabilities of the new Apple iPhone 4 is a front facing camera. This addition allows video calls using a new feature called FaceTime. While it’s now only available for iPhone 4 to iPhone 4 calls it is a very cool feature that over the coming months will surely expand to include other phones and features in the future.

Internal Hardware

Now that we’ve looked at the new features you can see on the outside let’s look at what makes this phone outperform its competitors, the internal hardware. The new Apple iPhone 4 offers some of the most advanced hardware of any phone on the market.

The greatest hardware advancement in the new iPhone 4 is the processor, featuring Apple’s A4 chip it boasts speeds of 1ghz which is 400mhz faster than the iPhone 3GS. Also helping speed up the new iPhone is 512mb of ram compared to the iPhone 3GS’s 256mb. Just using the phone for a few minutes you can tell the amazing speed of the new handset.

One of the biggest complaints about most phones is the battery, and the Apple iPhone 4 features a battery that lasts 40% longer than the previous iPhone 3GS. While making the battery bigger and more powerful Apple also made the phone thinner, 24% thinner than the iPhone 3GS.

What helped enable the new iPhone 4 to be thinner than previous models was the new antenna design that integrated the phones antenna into the stainless steel band that runs along the edges of the phone. In addition to the glass front and back panels this new phone looks futuristic compared to other handsets.

Overall

Overall the Apple iPhone 4 is the greatest handset Apple has ever produced and their best selling product ever. With sales already in the 2 million range and stores struggling to keep them in stock worldwide, it will be a while before this phone is readily available everywhere.

With the new features and hardware the new iPhone is capable of more than ever at much faster speeds. The new antenna design also has shown to get better reception and the integrated Wireless N technology enables the fastest Wi-Fi speeds yet.

So if you can find one snap it up, there’s no telling how demand will affect availability and this is not a phone you’ll want to miss out on.
