08.20.2008 — Wi-Ex (Booth No. 120) is at the CEDIA Expo this year to show off its zBoost product, a cell phone signal booster.

According to Wi-Ex president Lloyd Meese, consumers complain a great deal about the challenge of getting and keeping a strong indoor cell phone signal.

"We wanted to provide installers with a simple and effective way to address this problem," he says.

The zBoost CEDIA/Installer Kit includes "everything an installer needs to help their customers," Wi-Ex claims. It comes with the zBoost ProPack as well as marketing, presentation and training materials.

Designed for demanding professional coverage applications, it increases coverage up to 10,000 square feet. The zBoost ProPack series uses a bidirectional amplifier system that captures and amplifies both 800 MHz and 1,900 MHz bands simultaneously.

The standard kit retails for $395. The Premium kit (which includes three zBoost ProPacks) retails for $999.
