Wilson Electronics Brands: weBoost, WilsonPro, zBoost
Jul 21, 2018
Confused about Wilson Electronics and its brands weBoost, zBoost, WilsonPro?
Wilson Electronics has been a manufacturer of cell phone signal boosters since decades. It started out as Wilson Electronics, but it now represents or owns three different signal booster brands: weBoost, WilsonPro, and zBoost. These three Wilson wireless cell phone booster brands offer three different types of signal boosting products as clarified below.
- weBoost: For vehicle and home cell phone signal boosters.
- WilsonPro: Cell phone boosters for offices and buildings larger than 7,500 square feet.
- zBoost: Value brand of home cell boosters.
A comparison between weBoost and Wilson Pro models clearly show weBoost indoor boosting kits are consumer grade kits offering 1500 to 7500 sq. ft. coverage, whereas Wilson Pro kits are commercial grade providing up to 100,000 square feet in-building coverage.
Prior to 2013 when it split their cellular amplifying products into the three brands explained above, Wilson Electronics created products under its own name for many years. These products have stood the test of time and are still available for purchase, rebranded under the weBoost line of consumer products.

I figured WilsonPro would be cell phone boosters for larger facilities like businesses. I didn’t know zBoost was a value brand though. Are they still around? If so, how do they rate now compared to when this was published? Everyone likes a value brand—if it does the job it’s supposed to do.
If you’re wondering what the difference is between Weboost vs. Zboost, this article is for you. It’s not a question of Coke vs. Pepsi as Wilson owns both brands. However, Weboost makes cell phone boosters for cars and homes while Zboost apparently is strictly for home use. While 5g phones are coming out, I think I’m going to get a Weboost 4g booster so my current phone gets a shot in the arm. Just not ready for an upgrade to 5g yet.
Yeah, these different brands confused me somewhat. I’d heard of Wilson. Apparently they’ve been doing cell phone boosting for a long time, but I didn’t know WeBoost and Zboost were branches or different brands of Wilson. Zboost vs. WeBoost had me thinking they were two separate entities. While they are slightly different, they still fall under the Wilson umbrella.
This helped give me a great perspective on what manufacturers produce what equipment in terms of cell phone boosters. Now I have a better idea on Zboost vs. WeBoost, and how WilsonPro has been rebranded. I’ve also noticed cell phone boosters continue to go down in price. A few dollars more and I will be ready to buy because I am tired of erratic cell phone coverage in my home.
I WOULDN’T GET A WILSONPRO CELL PHONE BOOSTER FOR MY HOME? CAN SOMEONE EXPLAIN THIS?
Hey Chuck. It’s a question of size. If you have a 1000-1200 square foot home, you cell phone booster needs will be different than that for a building larger than 7500 square feet. Granted, all cell phone boosters take the signal coming into a building and strengthen it, making for strong connections, i.e. reduced dropped calls (perhaps none), clear audio, and fast data speeds for uploading and downloading data. However, you don’t need the same amount of power for your home as you do for a large building. Residential cell phone boosters (which WeBoost produce) are easy to install and don’t require professional installation. WilsonPro cell phone boosters are much more powerful and require professional installation. I hope this clarifies things for you.
This was a helpful look at the different brands of cell phone boosters such as the WeBoost home cell phone boosters and the Wilson cell phone boosters. Just to clarify, I wouldn’t get a WilsonPro cell phone booster for my home? Can someone explain this?
