Las Vegas (NV) - If your cell phone reception is dicey inside your home, Spotwave Wireless may have a solution.
The company has announced its Zen intelligent wireless coverage product that it says "dramatically" improves indoor wireless reception for spaces up to 2,500 square feet.
Zen not only improves cell phone signal strength, but because it amplifies the entire 1900MHz PCS band, it will also work to improve signal strength for other mobile devices such as smart phones, phone/PDA combs and 3G high-speed mobile data devices.
The product consists of a Network access (outdoor) module cabled to an attractively-packaged Coverage (indoor) unit. It uses technologies used by Spotwave in its commercial-grade systems including patented technology to constantly monitor indoor signal strength. This prevents oscillation and interference while ensuring the best possible signal.
Zen will be available from retailers in Q2 for $400 suggested list.
