- Product Description
The YX027-PCS-CEL is an optional base unit antenna upgrade for the YX510 and YX610 which provides additional signal strength in interior spaces and can be used to increase the area of indoor cell coverage. The directional antenna replaces the omni-directional indoor antenna and connects to the base unit providing 6 dBi of gain for the 800 MHz Cellular band and 9 dBi for the 1900 MHz PCS band. The antenna includes a removable mounting bracket for easy installation on walls and other surfaces.
Customer Reviews:
- Excellent choice
This in conjunction with the outdoor directional antenna brought my small home from 1 bar to 5 bars. - Really helps for multiple rooms
The tiny antenna that came with the zboost YX510 really only worked in one room and did not penetrate through walls at all. This antenna provides good coverage through a wall. The big problem is that it is a directional antenna - which means it only works in the one direction it is pointed. I have to swivel it to point it at direction I am at. Still its nice to have 4 to 5 bars when the antenna is pointed at you. I point it at my study when I am at work there and then shift it towards the living room area when I am done with work. - Improved signal
Adding the Directional panel antenna really helped increase signal on my system. I have the antenna mounted at the end of my home with the signal directed the length of the house. I get good signal 3 rooms away and can now use Verizion Wireless for my internet service. Previously there was no signal anywhere in the home. The whole system is expensive, but makes living in the country without cable or DSL tolerable. No need for Hughs or Wild Blue satellite service now. - Improves reception, tho not a lot
This add-on definitely improves reception when used with the base unit, but unfortunately the improvement is not as dramatic as I had hoped. Previously, I had 1-2 bars with the base unit; I now have 2-3 bars. At least I can now make and receive phone calls in my home (which I could not, before). So that's a big plus.
