Europe : Two new signal boosters, one of which is 3G, have been announced by US based Wi-Ex Incorporated. The two new 3G signal boosters are the zBoost International Dual Band and the zBoost-ONE UMTS. The target market for the new 3G signal boosters are both network operators and consumers.
zBoost-ONE 3G UMTS ( pictured above )
The zBoost-ONE UMTS has one base unit and no external aerial and will extend 3G data and voice coverage for the UMTS / HSPA in the 3G frequency band 2100. It can be used by single and multiple users either at home or in office environments.
Internationally, the high data speeds of UMTS are now most often utilized for Internet access making the zBoost an ideal product for people with smart phones like iPhone, Blackberry and Palm. It finds the mobile network and automatically begins reducing dropped calls and increasing data throughput.
Designed to create an in-door zone for 3G data services, the zBoost-ONE UMTS can significantly enhance the throughput of the mobile data, and in some cases allow data to work in areas where data access would otherwise not be available. The zBoost-ONE UMTS supports UMTS data protocols at 2100MHz.
zBoost International
The zBoost International operates within the 1800MHz and 900MHz frequency bands and will increase inside signal coverage up to 200 meters away.
The package includes everything you need: amplifier base unit, power supply, base unit antenna, low-loss SATV coaxial cable (RG6), signal antenna and mounting hardware. The omni-directional signal antenna receives signals from multiple cell towers. The zBoost International will retail for an introductory price of $499.
The zBoost International allows multiple users to operate their phones simultaneously (including both data and voice) and is compatible with all major carriers. It’s easy to install and the base unit can be placed in the family room, the basement, an office, a bedroom or a central location.
