Making a cell phone call is a lifeline in the wake of runaway wildfires or freak snowstorms, not only for emergency first responders, but also for the citizens that they seek to protect.  Sometimes the difference between being able to make the call for help or being stranded is as simple as having a cellular signal. 

Wilson cell phone signal boosters and antennas have often provided the missing link between a cell phone user and the cell tower in areas where cell reception is weak or calls are dropped because cell towers are few and far between. “Making or not making the call or getting a cellular signal for the laptop could be the difference between knowing a threatening storm is on the way or which way to evacuate in the path of a fire… literally it could make the difference between life and death,” notes Wilson Electronics’ COO, Joe Banos.

Disasters can strike anywhere. Whether they are wind-driven blazes in California or whiteouts in Oklahoma, the necessity for cellular connection can become dramatically apparent.  Staying connected via the Web, PDA or cell phone, therefore, should be a critical component of anyone’s emergency preparedness plan. Stories have crossed the airwaves about individuals stranded during snowstorms in Oregon and Washington or people fleeing their homes only to be stranded on the highways during hurricane evacuations. Or they’ve been desperately cut off during the northeastern winters in severe, unpredictable weather.  And while these events are worst-case scenarios, Wilson Electronics has built a long history with an array of cellular booster products designed to allay the fears of those most at risk of natural or man-made disasters. 

Staying connected isn’t just about desperate times, it’s also a matter of modern life.  Wilson boosters work with cellular phones, laptop air cards, PDAs and other cellular devices to increase signal quality, extend service range, and improve data rates.  Wilson Electronics is well known for its leadership in the cell phone signal booster and antenna industry with over 40 years’ experience and more than a dozen engineers on staff.  Visit their website and find evidence of a company driven by expert engineering.  They publish test after retest of their boosters’ signal strength against other manufacturers and continually come out on top. Quality control and assurance testing is performed for all Wilson amplifier product lines and is done using sophisticated computer analysis stations that perform up to 52 different operational tests on signal boosters before they are shipped out to authorized Wilson product dealers.  Wilson’s patented microprocessor-controlled circuitry ensures reliable performance that fully complies with government regulations for cellular devices while also providing cell site protection.  The microprocessor monitors the amplifier for any behavior that could affect the integrity of a carrier’s network.  In summary, aside from higher sensitivity to cell site signals and more power output to reach a cell site, the Wilson amplifiers remain transparent to the cell networks. Wilson amplifiers are FCC and Industry Canada type accepted. 

Wilson cell phone boosters also have the highest receiver sensitivity on the market. They have a much better receiver than what is in a cell phone or cellular air card and are able to receive weak signals that would go undetected by most cell phones. Wilson stresses that their amplifiers also have superior transmitter design for better voice and data communication with distant cell sites.

Wilson’s target market is any person using a cell phone, PDA or laptop cellular air card who needs to improve the wireless signal they receive from their service provider.  Wilson will be exhibiting at CTIA 2008 in Las Vegas (booth #1451) showing several new products, including the SignalBoostTM Vehicle Wireless Kit.  This new mobile kit offers superior dropped call reduction and significant improvement in size, convenience and affordability without sacrificing performance.  The kit installs in minutes and supports multiple phones or data cards. It offers up to five times more power than most cell phones, as well as superior sensitivity to weak cell signals. Wilson’s years of research ensure cell signal purity and impeccable cell site protection for maintaining carrier network integrity.  Wilson offers a 30-day, money-back guarantee and full one-year product warranty on all their cellular boosters.

To help you or your customers improve your cellular signal, Wilson has a full array of mobile, home, office, and large building cellular improvement products - many on display at CTIA.
