Coverage And Results
The A500 kit provides cellular signal enhancement using an omni-directional desktop antenna that creates optimal "spot coverage" around the antenna. Coverage depends on your external signal strength.
| Outside Signal | Signal Strength (dB) | Spot Coverage Radius |
|---|---|---|
| Strong (4-5 Bars) | -70 to -85 dB | Up to 8m radius |
| Moderate (3 Bars) | -85 to -100 dB | Up to 5m radius |
| Weak (1-2 Bars) | -100 to -115 dB | Up to 3m radius |
| No Signal | Below -120 dB | No coverage |
Important: The omni-desktop antenna provides 360° coverage but works best when placed centrally in the area needing improvement. For whole-apartment coverage, consider our professional installation options with panel antennas.

Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between the A500 and A1000?
The WilsonPro A500 is a great fit for homes in urban or suburban areas where there’s fair outdoor signal—it’s designed to cover 1–2 rooms effectively. It’s perfect for boosting signal in spaces like home offices, bedrooms, or lounges.
The WilsonPro A1000 is a more powerful system designed for homes with poor outdoor signal and/or those located farther from cell towers. It can cover up to 4 rooms and is better suited for areas where signal is weak or inconsistent.
Here’s where the power difference comes in:
A500 offers up to 70 dB of gain, while the A1000 offers up to 74 dB.
4 dB increase represents nearly 2.5 times more signal amplification power, which can make a substantial difference in low-signal environments.
In addition to gain, there’s also a difference in amplifier output power:
A500 has lower uplink and downlink power, meaning it can’t reach as far to connect with distant towers or push strong signal through larger or more signal-blocking structures.
A1000 offers higher uplink/downlink output, enabling it to communicate more effectively with distant cell towers and push stronger signal indoors over a wider area.
So, if you’re in an area with weaker outdoor signal, or your home is constructed with materials that block signal, the A1000 is the more capable and future-proof option.
How big of an area does it cover?
The A500 Apartment Kit offers spot coverage within a few metres of the included Omni-Desktop Antenna. Depending on your outside signal strength, it can cover up to 3–6 metres in radius, ideal for single rooms or one or two devices used near a desk or table.
Can I install it myself?
Yes. The kit is designed for DIY installation, making it easy to set up without any special tools or technical expertise. Simply mount the outdoor antenna where you get the strongest signal and connect the system using the included cables and accessories.
Which networks does it support?
The A500 works with all South African mobile networks, including Vodacom, MTN, Cell C, and Telkom. It supports voice and data on 2G, 3G, 4G/LTE, and most 5G NSA frequencies.
What’s the warranty and return policy?
The A500 comes with a 2-year warranty and a 30-day money-back guarantee.
Can the WilsonPro A500 be upgraded for more coverage?
Yes. While the A500 Apartment Kit is designed for spot coverage, you can upgrade the indoor antenna to a panel or dome antenna for wider indoor coverage. This requires professional mounting and may be better suited for larger spaces.
How strong does my outside signal need to be for the A500 Kit to work?
The A500 works best when your outdoor signal strength is at least –100 dB or better. You can check this using Field Test Mode on your phone. The stronger the outdoor signal, the more effective the system will be indoors.
Does it work during load shedding?
Yes! The A500 runs on a 5V/3A power supply and can operate with a UPS or an inverter. However, if local cell towers lose power, the booster can’t amplify a non-existent signal.
What if I need help?
We’re based in South Africa and offer local support and stock. You can reach our friendly team by phone, email, or live chat – we’re here to help you stay connected.
