Satisfy all your cellular phone needs with the Wireless Extenders YX510-PCS/CEL zBoost zP Wireless Booster, which works with both cellular frequencies (800 and 1900 MHz) and can extend cellular coverage up to 2500 square feet. This unit can handle signals from all the major cellular carriers, including AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, Verizon, and Alltel. The package includes everything you need: amplifier base unit, power supply, base unit antenna, low-loss SATV coaxial cable (RG6), signal antenna and mounting hardware. The omni-directional signal antenna receives signals from multiple cell towers. Improve your cell signal with the dual-band YX510-PCS/CEL--perfect for boosting the signal of AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile and Verizon frequencies up to 2500 square feet. Using a revolutionary, patent pending technology that protects the carrier network, the YX300 improves indoor cell phone coverage by capturing and repeating the outside signal, bringing it into the building and enhancing it. This process creates a "Cell Zone" in your home or office. Click here to see a PDF overview of setting up the Wireless Booster. The Wireless Extenders zBoost system includes: Outdoor antenna (repeats the signal) can be installed outdoors above the roofline or indoors in the attic or near a window Coax cable (RG6- ultra low-loss, DBS satellite) connects from the outdoor antenna to the base unit Base unit: Sleekly designed, it amplifies the signal and provides oscillation detection/correction which protects the carrier network using patent-pending technology. Indoor antenna connects to the base unit to repeat the signal and create "Cell Zone"--no physical connection to the phone is needed. Installation Choosing the best location for installation of the Signal Antenna provides the best performance and the largest area of improved signal. Determine the location that provides the strongest signal using the signal strength indicator on your cell phone. For the best reception, find the location that provides the most bars of signal strength and locate the Signal Antenna at that location.

Great for the iPhone 3G by J. Michael Hitt (Tucson, AZ United States) 5 Stars
November 14, 2009
I researched wireless extenders that are compatible with the iPhone 3G. The YX510-PCS-CEL was about the only one that was reported to work with a 3G iPhone on the AT&T network. The iPhone is supposed to work on the 1900 MHz frequency but it also can utilize the 800 MHz band. In order to handle heavy usage times like rush hour, AT&T may transmit your iPhone conversation at the 800 MHz cellular band instead of the customary 1900 MHz PCS band. This may drop your signal from say, 3 bars to 1 or no bars. The result is a dropped call. Single band wireless extenders like the YX500 will do fine for many calls, but will drop others as AT&T switches frequencies. The solution is a dual band extender. My 3100 sq ft house has signal that varies from no bars to 3 bars, but outdoors on one side of the house, we have 4 or 5 bars. Dropped calls inside the house were common and created a BIG annoyance. We installed the YX510 in a couple of hours (including reading the directions). We put the outdoor antenna on a parapet about 3 feet above the flat roof and the YX510 unit with it's standard attached antenna at the other end of the house, about 4 feet from the ceiling. We were fortunate to have an old, unused coax cable running across the roof and into one of the bedrooms (had that not been there we could have taken another hour and run the included cable through the roof or down the wall). Then we hooked the YX510 up to the 10 year old cable and instantly had 3 to 5 bars, everywhere in the house. Our house is U shaped so the signal has to be able to penetrate the outside block wall that the YX510 is attached to, go across the courtyard, and then penetrate another outside block wall. Despite the obstacles the YX510 still managed to produce 3 bars in a room where previously we had no bars. The sound quality of our calls is as good as ever and we can walk and talk all around the house, without fear of dropping a call. This is an expensive piece of equipment but it's more than worth it. Now we can fully utilize the service that AT&T charges us for, so all things considered, it's a bargain.

Works well for rural areas by Joylene (Nebraska) 5 Stars
November 13, 2009
This product really works, but it is not for the timid. Expect to experiment with positioning the external antenna and the indoor broadcast unit, and you may be rewarded with good signal in your home. It worked and worked well in my case. Make sure you can get four bars of signal outside the house, probably the roof. Mount the external antenna as high as conveniently possible at that location. Then experiment with the best location for the unit inside the house, so that you cover all the important rooms with at least two bars. As a comparison, the signal seems to fade much more than wifi for a given distance. My house is about 1200 sq feet, and I got two bars in each room, which was my goal.

cell phone booster YX510-PCS-CELDual by M. Kennedy  3 Stars
November 13, 2009
It has helped some, but the range is very limited. Unsure how it can advertise it covers up to 2500 square feet. I don't think it is worth the price.

The zBoost YX030-0W8 8" Window Entry Cable allows you to pass the signal through a window frame. This item allows the cable to pass through a window or doorway without drilling holes. The connector ends are F(Female) to F(Female). You will need a second RG-6 cable with this accessory. One cable goes between the Base unit and this Window Entry Cable and the second cable would go between this Window Entry Cable and the Signal (Outdoor) Antenna.
