Wilson Electronics Launches iBooster Phone-Specific Kits

Wilson Electronics, a provider of quality amplifiers and antennas for cellular phones and data cards, has launched the complete line of iBooster in-vehicle, plug-and-play cellular amplifier kits designed to improve cellular signals to deliver better voice and data coverage for users on the road.


Disclosing this, the company officials said that the new iBooster line features three kits: the iBooster for iPhone (News - Alert), iBooster for BlackBerry Curve and the iBooster Universal, designed for use with most other cellular phones.

Each iBooster amplifier kit includes-an all-in-one signal amplifier, charger and cradle combo; a cradle mounting hardware options; outside vehicular magnet-mount antenna and a cigarette lighter power adapter besides other such things.

“With the dependency on voice and data cellular communications at an all time high, users need to trust that their devices will keep them within reach,” said Michael Gartenberg, vice president of research and strategy at Interpret LLC, in a statement.

Wilson Electronics (News - Alert) officials said that the all-in-one signal amplifier, charger and cradle combo features the company’s bi-directional Smart Technology signal amplifier and battery charger built into a phone-specific “slip-in” cradle.

Officials said that ideal for hands free operation, it can be used in conjunction with a user’s headset or Bluetooth device. While the phone needs direct connection to the cradle to charge, the phone’s voice and data performance will be improved when used near the cradle.

Maximum performance, however, is obtained when the phone is actually within the cradle. The cradle also features a pass through connector for external accessory access.

“It seems that when you need your cellular phone the most, it is either out of battery power or unable to reach a signal,” said Joe Banos, COO at Wilson Electronics.

Banos said that unique to the wireless market, the iBooster line is the only quality technology available to reduce dropped calls, increase data rates in weak signal areas and create the ability to originate calls in dreaded “dead spots” – all while keeping your phone charged.
