Absolutely no reason you can’t use a Peplink Max with a Wilson repeater regardless of previous posts on the subject provided it is done correctly. I have numerous systems deployed this way.
-
Do not direct connect the two devices, in fact you don’t even want them right next to each other
-
Use ONLY an FCC type accepted repeater, such as any of the Wilson products since they are sold as a system (outside antenna, inside antenna, amplifier and cables)
-
As part of the type acceptance, the repeater needs to demonstrate dynamic operation with the cell site. What this means is that if the repeater is overloading the cell site then it will be instructed to reduce TX gain or shut down completely
-
Having said the above, KISS is always preferable so try more static gain first with a directional antenna(s)
-
To see what is possible, read this thread: Extreme range BR1
-
To improve the gain further with two antennas, angle the antennas from front to back to maintain .5 wavelength
-
Of course, low loss cable is required and LMR400 is good to 50’
