WILSON 462079 IoT MIMO 2×2 Direct Connect Signal Booster
Direct-Connect Cell Signal Amplifier
The WilsonPro IoT MIMO is a Direct Connect solution for amplifying cellular network equipment with MIMO (multiple input/multiple output) capability, such as a cellular
“hotspot” (ex. ‘Cradlepoint’ Device or similar), and other high data-rate applications. The IoT MIMO is “carrier agnostic” and pre-approved by all major cellular carriers under FCC “part 20” rules. No additional carrier or FCC approvals are required.

Application Overview
STEP 1 Amplifiers Placement
Select a location to mount the IoT MIMO amplifiers that is away from excessive heat, direct sunlight, moisture and that has proper ventilation. Slide amplifiers together as shown and secure with the provided screws at the top and bottom. The provided bracket can be used to mount the amplifiers to a wall or surface with suitable fasteners.
STEP 2 Attach External Antennas
Attach the external antennas to top of the amplifiers labeled Outside Antenna. Position antennas so that one is horizontal and the other is vertical.
NOTE: Outdoor antennas (e.g., omni) can be installed if desired. The antenna and cable can be purchased separately.
STEP 3 POCs Placement
Select a location to mount the POC units that is close to a hotspot device.
STEP 4 Connect POCs to Amplifiers
Connect the 20 foot twin cable to the POC units labeled AMP and then connect cable to the amplifiers labeled Data Device. Finger tighten only.
STEP 5 Connect POCs to Hotspot Device
Connect the included one foot cables to the hotspot device, then to the POCs (Power over Coax), labeled Data Device. Finger tighten only.
STEP 6 Power Up the Amplifiers
Plug the Power Supply into a power outlet and then connect the output cable to the power input of the POC Unit.
NOTE: the Power Supply output cable can be plugged directly into the end of the amplifier labeled instead of the POC device if it is more convenient. Both methods will power the amplifier.
Important
- If the amplifier loses power, internal circuitry will bypass the amplifier switch so that a connection is made directly to the antenna.
- Safeguard your devices. Using a surge protector is always recommended for these applications.
Status Light Patterns
SOLID GREEN D/L
A Solid Green D/L LED indicates that your amplifier is functioning properly and there are no issues with installation.
BLINKING GREEN U/L
The U/L LED will rapidly blink (flicker) Green to indicate the amplifier is functioning properly and actively communicating with the cell tower.
SOLID GREEN U/L
This indicates that U/L traffic has stopped and the amp will be entering a squelch/sleep state in about 90 seconds unless traffic resumes.
UL LED OFF
After the U/L LED has been Solid Green for about 90 seconds, meaning there has been no communication to the cell tower during that time, the U/L LED will turn Off indicating the amplifier is in a squelch/sleep state.
BLINKING GREEN/RED U/L and D/L
When the amplifier is initially powered on and it is operating at reduced gain to prevent oscillation (feedback), the U/L and D/L LEDs will be Solid Green for several seconds and then blink Green/Red for about 7 seconds, and then return to normal operation as described above. Refer to Troubleshooting section.
SOLID RED U/L and D/L
When a Band has been shutoff, the U/L and D/L LEDs will be Solid Red. This is due to a feedback loop condition called oscillation. This is a built in safety feature that causes a band to shut off to prevent harmful interference with a nearby cell tower. Refer to Troubleshooting section.
Power LED
The Power LED will be Solid Green when properly powered. It will never turn Red. If the LED is OFF, the amp is not receiving power.
Troubleshooting
FIXING RED LIGHT ISSUES
This involves Solid Red & Blinking Green/Red lights.
- Make sure all connections are tight. Un-plug and re-plug in power supply.
- Increase the distance (horizontally or vertically) between the external antenna/ amplifier and the data device. Un-plug and re-plug in power supply.
LIGHTS OFF
Check connections on the power supply to see that it is firmly plugged into both the amplifier and the power source.
Safety Guidelines
Verify that both the Outside Antenna and the adapter extension cable are connected to the Signal Amplifier before powering up the Signal Amplifier.
Use only the power supply provided in this package. Use of a non-Wilson Electronics products may damage your equipment.
RF Safety Warning: Any antenna used with this device must be located at least 8 inches from all persons. AWS Warning: The Outside Antenna must be installed no higher than 10 meters (31’9”) above ground.

The term “IC” before the radio certification number only signifies that Industry Canada technical specifications were met. Each Signal Amplifier is individually tested and factory set to ensure FCC compliance. The Amplifier cannot be adjusted without factory reprogramming or disabling the hardware. The Signal Amplifier will amplify, but not alter incoming and outgoing signals in order to increase coverage of authorized frequency bands only. If the Signal Amplifier is not in use for five minutes, it will reduce
gain until a signal is detected. If a detected signal is too high in a frequency band, or if the Signal Amplifier detects an oscillation, the Signal Amplifier will automatically turn the power off on that band. For a detected oscillation the Signal Amplifier will automatically resume normal operation after a minimum of 1 minute. After 5 (five) such automatic restarts, any problematic bands are permanently shut off until the Signal Amplifier has been manually restarted by momentarily removing power from the Signal Amplifier. Noise power, gain, and linearity are maintained by the Signal Amplifier’s microprocessor. This device complies with Part 15 of FCC rules. Operation is subject to two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Wilson Electronics LLC could void the authority to operate this equipment. This device contains licence-exempt transmitter(s)/receiver(s) that comply with Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada’s licence-exempt RSS(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause interference, and (2) This device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.
