Coverage And Results
The outdoor signal available where the donor antenna is installed plays a major role in determining indoor coverage. Phone bars are only an approximate guide; a measured dBm reading is more reliable.
| Approx. Outside Signal | Measured Strength | Est. Indoor Coverage |
|---|---|---|
| 5 Bars | -55 to -70 dBm | Up to 1,500 m² |
| 4–5 Bars | -71 to -85 dBm | Up to 1,250 m² |
| 3–4 Bars | -86 to -95 dBm | Up to 1,000 m² |
| 2–3 Bars | -96 to -105 dBm | Up to 650 m² |
| 1–2 Bars | -106 to -110 dBm | Up to 350 m² |
| Very Weak or No Signal | Below -110 dBm | Site assessment recommended |
Coverage figures are estimates, not guarantees. Actual results depend on the outdoor signal, frequency band, building materials, layout, cable loss, antenna placement and the number of indoor antennas. Maximum coverage assumes strong outdoor signal, professional installation and a suitably designed indoor antenna system.

- Yagi Directional (3-5km Range)
- Beacon - Suction Mount Antenna
There are two indoor Antenna Options:
1. Wall Mount Panel Antenna - Great for Directional coverage in long corridor like layouts, or multiple floors.
2. Ceiling Mount Dome - Omnidirectional Coverage in a 360 Degree pattern. Use for Wide open plan layouts and ceiling boards.
Installed on the outdoor antenna cable to help protect the RF system when correctly installed and grounded.
Easy DIY. No magic wand required.
We’ve made the setup simple, but good antenna placement still matters. Take a little time, follow the guide, and you’ll get a much better result.
Need a hand? Our local team is here to help. →Before You Get Started:
Please note that the standard signal booster kit does not include the mounting hardware required for the outdoor antenna.
You will need a suitable wall bracket and mounting pole to securely install the antenna outside and position it toward the best available signal source.
These items can be purchased separately if you don’t already have a suitable mounting point available.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do some signal boosters claim to cover much larger areas than more powerful WilsonPro systems?
Because coverage claims are easy to print. RF performance is harder to fake.
A signal booster’s real-world coverage is not determined by a single square-metre number. It depends on things like the outdoor signal available, building materials, antenna layout, cable losses, supported frequencies, gain, and — crucially — the booster’s actual uplink and downlink output power.
That’s why a booster with lower output power claiming dramatically more coverage than a higher-powered commercial system should raise a few questions.
At Bolton Technical, we prefer to give realistic coverage guidance based on signal conditions, rather than headline numbers that assume a perfect environment.
So when comparing boosters, don’t just ask:
“How many square metres does it cover?”
Ask:
“What is the actual downlink output power, uplink output power and gain — and under what signal conditions is that coverage figure achievable?”
If those numbers aren’t clearly published, the square-metre claim doesn’t tell you very much.
Big claims are easy. The specs tell the real story.
What’s the difference between the A500 and A1000?
The WilsonPro A500 delivers up to 70 dB gain and is an excellent choice for smaller homes, offices and targeted coverage areas.
The A1000 is the higher-performance option, delivering up to 85 dB maximum gain, together with up to +30 dBm uplink power and +25 dBm downlink power.
That additional gain and output capability becomes especially valuable where outdoor signal is weak, the serving tower is further away, or signal needs to be distributed across a larger building.
Coverage alone doesn't tell the full story. When comparing boosters, look at maximum gain, uplink power and downlink power — and the signal conditions under which the advertised coverage is achievable.
What is the A1000 and how does it work?
The A1000 is a high-performance cell phone signal booster designed to improve voice and data coverage inside buildings. It captures the outdoor signal, amplifies it, and rebroadcasts it indoors, giving you stronger signal where you need it most.
How big of an area does it cover?
Under excellent outdoor signal conditions, the A1000 can be split into up to four indoor broadcasting antennas and cover as much as 1500m². However, in real-world environments – especially where outdoor signal is weak or building materials block signal – actual coverage may be significantly less. It's always best to assess your outdoor signal strength before estimating coverage.
Can I install it myself?
Yes – the A1000 comes with a complete DIY installation kit, including a 15-metre and a 10-metre coaxial cable to connect your outdoor and indoor antennas to the amplifier. It’s designed for straightforward setup with step-by-step instructions.
However, for more complex installations or if you need a custom solution, we highly recommend using our professional installation team to ensure optimal performance and compliance with best practices.
Will the A1000 work in rural or remote areas?
Absolutely – as long as there's some outdoor signal, the A1000 can boost it indoors. For extremely weak areas, pairing the A1000 with a high-gain outdoor antenna like our Long Ranger or Arrow LPDA is recommended.
What’s the warranty and return policy?
The A1000 comes with a 3-year warranty and a 30-day money-back guarantee.
Will this boost 4G or just calls?
Yes – the A1000 boosts both voice and data signals, including 3G, 4G, and LTE, depending on what your mobile network provides in your area.
However, it’s important to note that the booster does not increase your internet speed beyond what your mobile network or ISP already offers. What it does do is provide your phone or LTE device with a stronger, more stable signal, which leads to more consistent data speeds, fewer dropped calls, and better overall performance – especially indoors or in areas with weak coverage.
Does this booster work with 5G?
Yes — it boosts 5G signals that run on the 1800 MHz and 2100 MHz bands through Dynamic Spectrum Sharing (DSS), which is how MTN and some other networks deliver 5G in many areas. It does not boost the dedicated 3.5 GHz (n78) 5G band used for the highest-capacity 5G sites. Most users still experience a significant improvement in data speeds and reliability because a large portion of current 5G traffic still uses the supported bands.
Do I need surge protection for my A1000 booster?
Yes. Like any electronic device, the A1000 is vulnerable to power surges and lightning strikes, which can cause permanent damage to the system. Surge protection is essential to keep your booster safe and functioning reliably.
To protect your investment, we strongly recommend plugging your booster into a surge protector plug and installing the lightning surge protector (included with your kit), making sure it is properly grounded.
Is it safe to use in my home or office?
Yes – the A1000 is completely safe to use in homes, offices, and vehicles. It meets all local and international safety and emissions standards, including those set by ICASA.
In fact, using a signal booster can actually reduce your exposure to radiation. When your phone struggles to find signal, it emits higher levels of radiation to stay connected. With a booster like the A1000 improving your signal, your phone can operate more efficiently at lower power levels.
To put it in perspective: holding a cell phone next to your head emits more radiation than having a signal booster quietly installed in a corner of your home or car.
