I don’t know about these things… seem like a lot of work to me. If you can’t get a signal on your current network then you just find one that works..

 

 

 

Wi-Ex, a leading provider of consumer and commercial cell phone signal boosters, showcased its zBoost zForce in-vehicle cell phone signal booster at Digital Experience at the 2012 Consumer Electronics Show (CES). Retailing for $99 or $149 with gooseneck adaptor at Amazon or other leading retailers, the z-Force is a dual band cradle unit that captures the signal outside of the car and amplifies it on the inside for a stronger “hands-free” signal reducing dropped calls and slow data.

“With the average commute time close to an hour, Americans spend a lot of time in their cars and are more and more dependent on their smartphones, cell phones and tablets to keep them connected,” said Frankie Smith, Wi-Ex director of sales. “Our new zForce provides consumers with a cost-effective solution for increasing their cell phone signal in their cars and allowing them to stay connected to family, friends and work on the go.”

The zForce works with 800 MHz and 1900MHz phones which covers most carriers (except Nextel/iDEN, 4G or 2100MHz). The zForce is easy to install and includes a bi-directional amplifier unit housed in a sturdy, lightweight cradle for hands-free operation, 12V cigarette power adaptor, external magnetic mount antenna with 15 ft cable and optional gooseneck cigarette lighter adapter.

Benefits include:

  •     Reduces dropped calls and dead zones
  •     “Hands-free” operations
  •     Extends cell phone range
  •     Improves signal strength for voice and data
  •     Works with most phones and most carriers (except Nextel/iDEN or 4G)
  •     Extends cell phone battery life
  •     Features built-in port for charging, auto-shut off when your vehicle is not in use and adjustable arms to fit most any phone

The zBoost line allows consumers to take full advantage of data, voice and Internet services on their iPhones(TM), iPads(TM), connected devices and smartphones
