I don’t have test data for the other boosters past 10 feet because it wasn’t relevant, but I did one more test at 25 feet through four walls and still got -87dB meaning that this booster was about as powerful at 25 feet away as the YX545M was at 3 feet away. The power was much more linear as I got further from the booster and I never saw a reduction from 5 bars, even 10 feet away through two walls. What you need to know here is that I actually had to do the test multiple times because the Fusion4Home had so much power that it was automatically cutting itself back. I tested the Fusion4Home against the SureCall EZ4G and the YX545M that is usually in place in our lab. It’s a good idea anyway because you’ll get better booster performance with the antenna up high. This is a safety feature and it is easy enough to deal with… just make sure you put plenty of distance between the outdoor and indoor antennas. The antenna pulled in so much signal that the booster overloaded and shut itself off. I found this out myself when I went to mount it in place of the booster in our offices. You absolutely need to put this antenna 15 feet up or 30 feet from the site of the indoor antenna. The bracket itself could mount straight to an eave or to a roof, there is going to be one set of holes that works for you no matter what. There’s a little sticker showing “this side up” on the antenna to make it easier.Īs I said there are a lot of mounting options. There are many holes to choose from, just choose the two that will allow you to mount the antenna vertically. ![]() You’ll need a 10mm wrench or adjustable wrench. To attach the antenna to a mast, start by removing the two bolts from the left and right sides of the antenna and putting the bracket on. The antenna comes with a mounting bracket and U-bolt for attaching to a mast. As I said the system is also available with an omni antenna. The yagi-style antenna brings in maximum signal from a single direction. I actually ended up testing the configuration with the whip antenna because the panel antenna was too strong! But more about that later. SureCall sent me the outdoor yagi antenna with both the whip and panel antennas. If you need strong boost for one room, choose a whip indoor antenna, and if you want coverage for a larger open area, choose the panel antenna. If you are in the middle of many towers, choose an omni. If you are pointing at a distant cell tower, choose an outdoor yagi antenna. To shop for the right kit, go to the product page at Solid Signal and choose the option you want. This one booster comes with different outdoor and indoor antennas to make it easier for you to find what you want. SureCall has created kits for every need. Some manufacturers do it that way… they sell you a basic kit and make you pay more for the upgrades. For example, if you want a larger outdoor antenna, you have to pay for the smaller one because it comes in the kit. Under new rules, cell boosters have to be sold as complete kits, which sounds great, but it means that if you don’t want the exact kit the manufacturer makes, you end up paying extra. These rules were supposed to make things easier for consumers but it ended up making things more complicated for manufacturers. The world of cellular boosters got a little more complex in 2014 when new FCC rules came into effect.
