zBoost - the First Personal Cell Phone Signal Booster Launched

Wi-Ex, the one of the leading providers of consumer cell phone signal boosters, recently announced zBoost zPersonal, the personal zBoost, providing consumers with an affordable solution that captures and amplifies the 800MHz signal or the 1900MHz bands for improved cell phone signal at home, the office or on the go.

The product is the first repeater-amplifier system for consumers for under $100. Showcased at CTIA Wireless 2007, zBoost zP creates a cell zone for a single user by improving signal strength for better voice and data transmission. The zBoost zP repeats and amplifies a cell phone signal from outside the building to a consumer's phone and is ideal for dorms, hotel rooms, condos or apartments all while maintaining the integrity of the carriers network. Like all Wi-Ex products, the zBoost zP uses patent-pending technology to protect the carrier network. In addition, it supports voice calls or data services and works with all phones and carriers except Nextel.

The package includes everything consumers need to improve their cell phone signal including a small window mount base unit and indoor antenna. The unit is designed to sit or hang in the window and a simple indoor antenna is cabled up to 20 feet across the room. The device comes in 2 flavors - wired and wireless. The wireless antenna sits on your desk, the wired version must be connected to your phone.

In addition to the zBoost zP, zBoost offers a suite of products that improve in-door cell phone signals through the creation of cell zones. They are easy to install, affordable and increase in-building coverage by up to 2500 sq ft.

Retailing for $99, the zBoost zP represents the lowest priced entry unit in the zBoost product family.
