zBoost Your iPhone and iPad
Wi-Ex, the leading provider of consumer cell phone signal boosters for the home, office and car, provides consumers with the perfect “i-accessory” for their iPhone, iTouch and the upcoming iPad. Showcased today at Macworld Conference & Expo in booth 1390, Wi-Ex’s zBoost suite of products allow consumers to take full advantage of voice, data and Internet services on their iPhone and other mobile phones and data devices including 3G high-speed data and video, instant messaging, pictures and more at home, in your personal workspace, in the office or on the go both within the U.S. and abroad.
“Even as carriers continue to push to expand their 3G networks, poor indoor cell phone signal continues to be a problem for more than 65 percent of cell phone owners. The iPhone and many of the smartphones have indoor signal problems, especially in larger cities,” said Lloyd R. Meese, CEO of Wi-Ex. “The use of the data functions on the iPhone require a stronger signal and although, some indoor signal problems may be blamed on the iPhone or the carrier network, some of the dropped calls and general loss of coverage is due to environmental obstructions, building materials, metal roofs, high-speed data (reduces coverage) and network interference. The zBoost improves signal strength for better voice and data transmission while maintaining the integrity of the carriers’ networks using patent-pending technology. We see it as the perfect i-accessory for all iPhone users.”
The annual zBoost “State of the Cell Signal” Survey, commissioned by Wi-Ex and conducted by Harris Interactive®, revealed that 67 percent of cell phone owners experience problems including poor quality and 49 percent claim to have done something special to improve signal strength in order to make or receive a call in their home. In addition, the survey, fielded December 8 – 10, 2009 via Harris’ online omnibus survey, found that 67 percent of cell phone owners use data functions on their cell phones and, of those, nearly 60 percent (57 percent) experience problems with their cell phone service while using data functions.
