3. 69 percent of consumers who have experienced a cell phone signal deadzone in their cars have hung up the phone
4. 21 percent have driven to another area where they had a cell phone signal.
5. 55 percent of consumers who use their cell phone in their car use it for emergency situations
6. 73 percent of consumers who use their cell phone in their car in emergency situations have used it to call for help

The zBoost YX230 Car Unit captures the signal outside of your car and amplifies it on the inside to create a better signal. The dual band unit works with both 1900MHz and 800 MHz phones and extends a Wi-Ex Cell Zone with no physical connection to the phone. It supports voice calls or data services and works with all phones and carriers except Nextel. The unit extends the cell phone range up to 10 times the signal strength with no wires connected to the cell phone. This allows miles and miles of uninterrupted voice and data transmission. Other benefits include extending the battery life, reducing or eliminating dropped calls and increasing wireless applications such as instant messaging, 3G high-speed data, picture mail and more. The car unit is easy to install and the package includes everything a consumer needs to improve their cell phone signal on the go. The product consists of a bi-directional amplifier unit housed in a sturdy, lightweight ABS plastic enclosure that can be located under the seat or in the front console. The amplifier connects to the vehicle’s 12V power through a supplied Cigarette Lighter Adapter (CLA).

This study was conducted online within the United States on behalf of Wi-Ex between December 19 and December 21, 2007 among 2,270 U.S. adults ages 18+, of whom 1,746 own a car and a cell phone. The data have been weighted to reflect the composition of the U.S. adult population.

Question :

Hi, i have been looking at your site, and would like to buy one of your cellular booster, but do not know which one i need.

I am looking at one to use in my truck. I live in a fifthwheel trailer, so it would work in both as i have cigg. lighter, in both. I don’t travel all that much any longer, so want the best unit for my needs. I have Cricket wireless, Will the one for a car work with all carrieres? I don’t want to buy a booster, and then change phone carriers, in the future and have to buy another. Please advise me on this matter.

How do i order, and how much will this cost me? Thanks again.

Booster Bob answers :

“You need the YX230. This covers EVERY carrier in the US except nextels walkie talkies. So Cricket is covered by the YX230. This will work just fine if you change carriers. The MSRP is $299.99 but I encourage you to order from an authorized reseller of ours. They are currently “giving this away” to only 198.99 plus 2.00 more off if you use the google check out option. Here is the link  : Wi-Ex zBoost YX230 PCS-CEL ( Quantum-Wireless.com). Ordering through this reseller gives you a 30 day MB guarantee and automatic 1 year manufacturers full warranty.”

In line with President Obama’s technology initiative which focuses on establishing an effective overall communications infrastructure, which involves improving cell phone services. Wi-Ex technology grabs outdoor signal and brings it in for you to use with your cell phone, smartphone and wireless data card – extending a cell zone and increased coverage in your home office or your car.

New York, NY — Quantum Wireless, a division of Quantum Networks, LLC, a leading provider of 3G and 4G/Wimax wireless products, announced today it will distribute, market, sell and install the Wi-Ex zBoost product line. The zBoost line of products creates Cell Zones™ for the home, office, car, personal space and travel. zBoost reduces dropped calls and improves cell phone signal indoors, as well as increases signal and speed of aircards, EDGE and 3G technology. The relationship will help effectively bridge the technological gap between rural and urban America, a service that mirrors the goal of President Obama’s broadband stimulus initiative.

In a speech to the residents of Springfield, IL on October 10, 2007, President Obama announced his intention to “lay down broadband lines through the heart of inner cities and rural towns all across America.” Guided by this statement, the Obama administration allocated over $7 billion to improve wireless broadband access in un-served and underserved U.S. regions under the American Recovery and Reform Act. Finally, in June 2009, The Rural Utilities Service (RUS) and the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) published the official criteria for applicants, inviting Internet service providers to offer advanced broadband in much-needed areas across the nation.

President Obama’s technology initiative focuses on establishing an effective overall communications infrastructure, which involves improving cell phone services as well. In a 2008 poll conducted by Connecting Rural America, nearly 75 percent of the participants felt the government needed to take action to improve the cell phone coverage in rural areas. In May 2009, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) published a report that found mobile broadband network coverage less available in rural areas than it was in urban areas. American demand is strong for products that improve wireless service, such as the zBoost series.
