Atlanta, GA – April 19, 2011 – Wi-Ex, a leading provider of commercial and consumer cell phone signal boosters, announced today the launch of its new zBoost Commercial Solutions Division (CSD) Kits. The zBoost CSD Kits provide a complete solution for improving cellular voice and data signal within buildings from 20,000 to 100,000 square feet. The zBoost CSD Kits are designed to meet the needs of challenging indoor environments as an affordable and uncomplicated solution.
“The phenomenon of cord-cutting is growing quickly in the SMB, making in-building wireless coverage critical for day-to-day operations,” says Timothy Doherty, research analyst for SMB Mobility at IDC. “Thanks to the tremendous growth of individual-liable devices, the average small business depends on several different service providers utilizing different frequencies and technologies; thus, an ideal in-building coverage solution should be technology and device agnostic.”
The kits come in 20,000 and 40,000 square feet packages and provide the key components and design elements to allow professional installation over a wide variety of building conditions. The zBoost CSD kits use a network of active amplifiers and antennas configured to provide optimum signal strength for multiple cellular providers while protecting the integrity of the carrier network using patented technology.
“We hear from our customers every day the importance of a strong cell phone signal. The zBoost solution helps property managers continue to offer ‘required services – such as a cell phone signal’ to their clients. We have installed the zBoost products in commercial and residential high-rises in addition to buildings, like medical facilities that have deep interiors,” said Eytan Weiner, COO of Quantum Networks. “The zBoost CSD Kits provide installers with an affordable and proven solution for enhancing indoor cell signal for complex indoor environments.”
The Commercial Solution Division Process The Wi-Ex Commercial Solution Division process provides a step-by-step program to ensure a successfully installed product including: installation survey consultation; site survey; proposal of zBoost CSD Kits; implementation; detailed equipment and schematic list; optimization; plus remote assistance from the Wi-Ex team of experienced wireless design professionals.
“Businesses and our authorized installers have clamored for these kits. The rapid adoption of smartphones including iPhone and BlackBerry, tablets and other connected devices has caused a shift in the way businesses operate. Recent reports site that more than 50 percent of cell phone calls are now made in-doors,” said Lloyd R. Meese, CEO of Wi-Ex. “Our zBoost CSD Kits provide an affordable and effective solution to poor in-door cell phone signal in large spaces allowing users in those areas to stay connected and conduct business as needed.”
About Wi-Ex
Wi-Ex, a leading provider of cell phone signal boosters, developed zBoost, the first consumer-priced signal booster that “extended cell zones” for the small office/home office cell phone market. Wi-Ex expanded their “extending cell zone coverage” beyond consumers to corporate enterprises and large commercial applications. From M2M applications to large commercial complexes to the rising number of teleworks, the zBoost line provides a business-centric solution for improving poor in-door cell phone coverage domestically and internationally. The zBoost product line works with most carriers in the US and abroad including AT&T, Sprint, Vodaphone, Verizon and T-Mobile. The award-winning zBoost home and office solutions help today’s connected consumers including iPhone, iPad, Android (DROID), BlackBerry, and smartphone users with dropped calls and slow data. They were awarded a 2007 and 2010 Consumer Electronics Association Innovations Honoree by the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA). They also were selected as a finalist for the 2007 and 2009 CTIA Emerging Technologies (E-Tech) Award. As the leader, zBoost has more awards, more sales and more locations than all their competitors combined. Wi-Ex continues to develop innovative products to meet the demands of an increasingly wireless society by enhancing wireless signals.
zBoost Signal Boosters boost cell phone signal indoors so you can use your cell phone, smartphone or wireless broadband device.
- Boosts cell phone signal in your home or office
- Eliminates most dropped or missed calls

- Extends battery life
- Dual Band – Works with most U.S. phones and carriers except Nextel/iDen and 4G (700 and 2100MHz)
- Protects the carrier network using patented technology
The convenience of the cell phone rests in the confident assertion that as a device untethered to a wired base, it provides users the ability to stay in touch at any time– no matter how far off the beaten path they’ve wandered. But with the versatility of these devices so apparent, the pendulum has swung more towards reliance than convenience in terms of usage. The mobile phone is no longer a device you use when you know you’re not going to be home, but rather something that has taken place of the trusty landline. Whereas the old technology was hardwired to your home, the newer incarnation can follow you out the door and down the street mid-conversation. The pressing issue with such overall innovation is the reliability of an intangible connection to one’s signal provider.
Countless customers have the same story to tell; it starts off with an important conversation in a place where a strong signal is assumed and ends in a dropped call. While a few minutes spent talking to dead air is embarrassing in and of itself, it’s more troubling to repeatedly lose a connection in the midst of an exchange of vital information. That’s where companies like Wi-Ex and Wilson come in. Realizing these all-t00-frequent occurrences were not only just freak accidents, but more the result of signal and service inadequacies, these companies have cornered the market on the all-t00-valuable cell signal booster. These signal repeater devices range in price from $250-$1,000 and are the savior of many a cell phone user.
Despite salvaging the signal of many customers left out in the cold by the very own service providers they represent, the CTIA (Cellular Telephone Industries Association) is now staging opposition to such technological assistance. The Wireless Association paid a visit to the FCC to file a complaint calling for stricter regulation on signal boosters. The CTIA’s efforts echoed those of Verizon and AT&T, both of whom had already made similar filings claiming that cell boosters were responsible for cellular network interference and service disruptions– an assertion that is supported by public safety officials operating on closed wireless networks. This is somewhat ironic when you consider the amount of product Wilson has provided to law enforcement and public safety officials alike to allow for ease of communication (most recently in Yavapai County, AZ).
The CTIA’s grievance asks for an F.C.C. mandate that “the use of signal boosters be coordinated with and controlled by commission licensees and the sale and marketing of such devices be limited to authorized parties.” So basically, the companies that are providing you with deficient signal in places you need it most, want to control just who can assist you with that problem. Whereas others previously had the foresight to remedy this problem, it’s likely that service providers could try to exclude companies such as Wilson and Wi-Ex from giving you a bar boost.
The complaint seems all-too-convenient for service providers who have begun producing their very own incarnation of booster called “femtocells.” Having the appearance of a wireless router, the femtocell typically attaches to a broadband connection to spread signal throughout a localized dead zone, such as a home or office. Verizon and AT&T are offering their versions of these devices at price points competitive to that of signal boosters offered by competitors such as Wilson. Sprint has taken the role of benevolent provider, in effect apologizing for signal deficiencies by offering the Airave Access Point 3G, free on a case-by-case basis.
If wireless providers have such an objection with cell repeaters and antennas compensating for their service deficiencies, it would make more sense not to strong-arm others who bring the most out of their signal out of the signal boosting game, but to work with them to get them to play ball and help maximize their signal. Or if it’s the technology they truly have qualms with, they can rely on the superiority of femtocells to win out provided the price is right for customers. Really though, it’s the responsibility of the likes of the Verizons and AT&Ts to furnish the signal that people pay for. If they’re not doing it either with their towers or femtocell technology, people should have the right to compensate for their lack of signal in any way possible. The booster companies are just trying to capitalize on the signal chasm between wireless companies and their customers. If Verizon and AT&T want to point the finger at anyone, perhaps it should be themselves.
You know what I say, Sprint’s got the right idea. Get those customers free femtocells or else it’s every phone-wielding man,woman and child for themselves.

Wi-Ex announced 2 new products last week at the CEDIA EXPO: the zBoost Active Antenna Amplifier and the CI YX745. The units can be paired together for maximum the cell phone coverage. The Active Antenna Amplifier will optimize the YX745 by reducing dropped calls, improving cell-phone signal, and improving the speed and signal of aircards, EDGE and 3G technology, smart phones and data on mobile phones. The devices are designed to work in the most challenging applications, such as commercial buildings and large homes.
- Fewer antennas: A zBoost CI external antenna with a zBoost Active Antenna Amplifier can be connected to four zBoost base units while providing a higher quality cell phone signal.
- More distance: Prior to the Active Antenna Amplifier, the maximum distance allowed from the external antenna to the zBoost base unit was 75 feet. With the Active Antenna Amplifier, installers can place the RG-6 where it is convenient (over 250 feet) rather than struggle to keep it less than 75 feet.
- New locations: In the past, some locations were unable to benefit from a zBoost. With the ability to utilize fewer antennas coupled with the use of longer coax cable, contractors can provide an improved cell phone signal to many of those clients who previously were unable to enjoy the increased cell phone signal provided by zBoost.
- Decreases dropped or missed calls
- Enhances the performance of your connected device, cell phone, smart phone and wireless data card
- Extends phone battery life (uses less power when signal is stronger)
- Works with all phones and
- Maintains network integrity using patent-pending technologies
- Manufactured with the highest quality control – (individually calibrated)
On the Active Antenna Amplifier: “The zBoost Active Antenna Amplifier builds upon Wi-Ex’s industry leading technology to provide custom installers with a new solution to help enrich their customers’ home communication. The new product utilizes an innovative design configuration to deliver unparalleled value: maximum performance at a lower total solution cost with greater installation flexibility and ease. No other booster manufacturer offers a similar device.”
On the CI YX745: "Even in the down economy, investments in home technology continue to grow. Our new product is designed specifically to meet the needs of the custom installer market. The zBoost 745, available only to custom installers, provides an enhanced solution to meet the unique needs of this market. With consumers increasingly relying on connected devices including iPads, smart phones and laptops to access the Internet at home and in the office, a strong in-door cell phone signal is a necessity for today's digital lifestyle."

Wi-Ex’s new zBoost dual-band amplifier, the YX545 SOHO, has finally arrived.
An updated version of Wi-Ex’s most popular signal booster – the YX510 –it brings many welcome changes to an already stellar product. Designed to significantly boost poor cell phone reception, the YX545 is an ideal product for both small office and home office applications. Capable of boosting your signal for up to 3,000 sq. ft., with a dB gain of 60, this product is certainly a high-grade solution to your wireless problems.
The YX545 features many similarities to its predecessor, the YX510. Both are dual band, which means that they’re compatible with both 800 MHz (CEL) and 1900 MHz (PCS) frequencies,and thus with all major U.S. networks excluding Nextel. The YX545 is also wirelessly operated, which means that once you connect it to a power source, neither your phone nor your data would need to be hooked up, allowing you the flexibility to move around your house or office. Also, in addition to extending your cell phone battery life, both devices conveniently allow usage by up to ten different devices!
The YX545 SOHO brings numerous improvements to the YX510.First of all, it’s much stronger. Boasting a 20% increase in signal strength over the YX510, the YX545 allows for coverage up to 3,000 sq. ft, a step up from the YX510’s 2500 sq. ft. capabilities.Second, the YX545 has a sleeker, smaller design, featuring a low-profile receiving antenna that has a 3-5 dB gain increase over the previous model. Third, thanks to new software, the YX545 features the remarkable ability ofbeing able to recalculate and optimize itself every 24 hours, thus always ensuring that the unit is working to the best of its ability. Fourth, it has a far simpler interface, needing only one light to indicate that it’s working properly.
With a sleek and attractive design, this amplifier kit requires almost zero technical experience and expertise to set up. A device that significantly improves voice and data signal quality, with it, you’ll never lose a call again.
Urban dwellers that need an improved cell phone signal are in luck. Wi-Ex zBoost recently announced they’ve begun shipping the zBoost Metro. It’s a great cell signal booster for a small area along with single story dwellings.
Recent graduates that just moved away have decided to to forgo getting a landline, so it’s important that they don’t loss a call. Never lose a call again with the zBoost-METRO cell signal booster. It works on both 800MHz and 1900MHz frequencies so all major carriers are covered, except Nextel’s Push-to-talk network. The zBoost-METRO even boosts 3G internet connection on most phones.
“We know that urban dwellers are one of the largest groups of consumers going completely wireless and
with this comes an even greater need for a reliable in-door cell phone signal,” Lloyd R. Meese, CEO
of Wi-Ex, said, “By using advanced technology in the amplifier, the zBoost-METRO provides a solution to
urban single-story dwellers in condos, apartments and dorm rooms that was not previously available.
Traditionally, amplifiers and antennas have required vertical separation of 8 to 15 feet however the
zBoost-METRO allows for that separation to be minimized while still covering up to 1500 square feet.”
The zBoost-METRO covers about 1500 sq. feet and the patented antenna technology means there doesn’t have to be vertical separation between the exterior antenna and the base unit. It’s simple to install, place the outdoor antenna just outside your window where you get the best signal, then run the cord to the base unit, plug in and you should see a better signal instantly.The device will help users see an increase in battery life on their phone. Increased signal means less time ‘straining’ for an improved signal.
The package includes the base unit amplifier, base unit antenna, coaxial cable, signal antenna and mounting hardware. The external antenna gets signals from more than one cell tower. It’s a great cell signal booster for urban dwellers, new condo owners and dorm rooms that need an improved cell signal.
The item isn’t being shipped to re-sellers yet, but it should happen soon. The device was showcased in June with plans to start shipping in mid-July. Pre-order today from Quantum-Wireless.com and you’ll be one of the first to get the zBoost-METRO from Wi-Ex.
