Summary: Cellular Antenna
Comment: The antenna works great. I bought it for my USB Internet Access card. The aircard barely has a useable signal inside the house with only it's built in antenna. The antenna has a ten foot cable which lets it sit at the corner of the front porch. I have a steady 3 or 4 bar signal most of the time with the antenna.
The only complaint is that nearly every cellular device; aircards and phones, need a unique adapter cable to work with the antenna. This is not the fault of the antenna maker or seller. It is due to a lack of standardization in the cellular industry. This vendor does sell most of the adapter cables for [...] but their info does not make it obvious that you need one or easy to figure out which one.
There is an exhaustive list of the adapters, searchable by device manufacturer and model numbers at the antenna makers site at [...]
Good Luck

Summary: The leader in cellular boosters & antennas.
Comment: I use a data card in my laptop for mobile Internet access in my company work van, and before I used this antenna I used to be knocked offline constantly, even in metropolitan areas. It was hard to get any work done.
Before I had this antenna I had to repeatedly reboot both my data card and it's software, which was a real pain when I was trying to access our company network and complete work in a timely manner. Now I am hardly ever knocked offline, even in exurban and rural areas! What a difference. With the purchase of an adapter for my cellphone, I can even use the antenna to boost my cellphone signal in remote areas, as long as the antenna is attached to my vehicle; the sheet steel that the magnet attaches to provides a ground plane necessary for the antenna to work.
The difference is astounding! A must-have accessory for mobile Internet users, or for those who can't get good cellphone reception where they travel.

Summary: This thing really works!
Comment: I live and camp in the western U.S. and have found this antenna to be very effective. It works either while driving down the road or while stationary, and it's not too difficult to attach it to your roof while in motion, unless it freaks out your cat when you open the window, but that's another issue.
I've tried it on three phones, two Motorolas and an LG, and in all cases it usually brings the signal up by two bars. In areas with no signal, sometimes it allows weak analog service and sometimes it won't. Having this antenna has meant the difference between analog and digital service, or between no service and analog. Even if you are getting four or five bars, when you use this it seems that your calls will get dropped less often, or never.
There are a few limitations:
1. Your cell phone must accept an external antenna. Look for a hole near the base of the phone's antenna, which is often covered with a rubber plug.
2. Many phones require an adapter to be used with this product. You will have to check with Wilson Electronics to see if this is the case. If it is, they cost about $10. Your cell phone store may also carry them.
3. This thing works because it is attached to the roof of a vehicle. You can't carry it up on a hill and hold it in your hand - you have to be in the car. I have heard of people attaching it to an old-fashioned pie tin that is attached to some PVC pipe to get it six feet higher, but personally I haven't tried this.
4. The cable between the antenna/car and your phone isn't very long, so plan on sitting in the car to use this.
Overall, I am very pleased with this because it lets me check my e-mail while camping, which means I can play hooky from my job and not get caught.
