CELL AND DATA WEAK SIGNALS

I hope one of youfine folks have an answer that works. Home base is a very weak signal area for both cell and data signals.
I tried wilson electronics and they were not helpful as thier equipment needed me to be within 3 feet of the antenna which in a car is ok but in the Monty its not worth the ticket.]

So I am calling all you smart folks that know the exact unit I need (I hope)
Thanks
Doug

I'm not sure what Wilson wants you to be close to, our Wilson antenna has about a 12 ft cable on it

I put a cell repeater system in at my house. The Wilson out side antenna is up about 25 feet above ground and the inside antenna is in the hall way. I have a repeater connecting the two antennas. It is not a cheap system $600 to $700 and that does not count the tower which was free for me.
We can discuss if you would like more information.
This repeater works for AT&T and Verizon. There are some it does not.

Check ou the Wilson Electronics SOHO solution. It includes the outdoor antenna, amplifier, indoor panel antenna, and the cabling necessary to cover the separation. At least 35ft is recommended between antennas (indoor vs. outdoor).

Will be installing one in my "soon to be arriving" 3750FL. Will service the entire coach with no set distance limitations. Obviously closer to panel antenna the better.
