Wilson Electronics Announces SignalBoost Mobile Professional Amplifier Kit

ST. GEORGE, Utah --(Business Wire)-- Wilson Electronics, the leading provider of quality amplifiers and antennas for cellular phones and data cards, today introduced the SignalBoost(TM) Mobile Professional amplifier kit. Unique to the industry, the kit is an affordable, compact and portable package that includes everything users need to improve cell phone and data card performance on the road or indoors. The SignalBoost Mobile Professional amplifier kit will be generally available, nationally, October 2008.

For executives who feel that cellular phones are not reliable enough for important business use, the Wilson SignalBoost Mobile Professional is an easy-to-use wireless cellular amplifier kit designed specifically to change that perception. The amplifier is ideal for anyone frustrated with dropped calls or slow data card connections while on the road, in a hotel, airport, office, or at home. It extends signal range and increases data rates by strengthening cellular signals in areas that typically have weak or unusable connections. The plug-and-play kit sets up in minutes and can be powered directly from a computer USB port, a vehicle cigarette lighter or standard AC outlet.

"It is extremely common, and equally frustrating, for business travelers to find themselves in places without adequate cellular signals to do what needs to be done to remain productive and successful," said Joe Banos, COO of Wilson Electronics. "Wherever work takes them, the SignalBoost Mobile Professional is designed to help business professionals stay within reach, ready to take that important call or essential e-mail. And, with Wilson Electronics, users know they are getting the highest quality product available to significantly reduce cellular connection concerns."

The SignalBoost Mobile Professional amplifier kit includes:

-- SignalBoost Mobile Professional wireless amplifier with built-in antenna

-- Outside magnet-mount antenna

-- USB power cable

-- Cigarette lighter and AC power adapters

-- Suction cup window-mount antenna bracket

-- Portable carry case that fits easily in a suitcase, briefcase or purse

-- Installation guide

-- 30-day, money back guarantee and limited one-year product warranty

The magnet-based antenna, mounted on a vehicle roof or on the suction-cup window bracket within a building, communicates with the cell site. The amplifier unit, about the size of a candy bar, boosts the signal and broadcasts it within the vehicle or room through its built-in antenna. The wireless amplifier system requires no direct connection to cell phone or data card.

The SignalBoost Mobile Professional, engineered with Wilson Electronics' industry-leading amplifier technology, provides up to two times more power than a standalone cellular phone. As a wireless solution, the Mobile Professional supports multiple cell phones and laptop data cards simultaneously. Its dual-band, bidirectional design works with all Cellular and PCS carriers on the 800 and 1900 MHz frequencies (Verizon, AT&T, Sprint, Alltel, etc.). It also enhances the coverage and call reliability of any phone being used with a hands-free device, such as an ear bud or a Bluetooth(TM) headset.

"No competing product on the market delivers the performance, convenience and portability of the SignalBoost Mobile Professional," continued Banos. "At Wilson Electronics, every amplifier we produce is quality controlled with at least 52 testing sequences to verify the performance of design specifications. This quality assurance, combined with our amplifiers' superior design and RF engineering, enables Wilson Electronics to consistently outperform the competition."

The SignalBoost Mobile Professional will be available in four kit configurations to meet users' specific needs. The suggested retail price range for these kits is $259.95 to $279.95 at authorized Wilson Electronics dealers, including Radio Shack franchise stores.
