Improve Cellular Data Signal on your iPad

Thursday, January 28th, 2010

Apple has introduced the long awaited tablet, calling it the  iPad!  The iPad has Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity built-in, comes with 16, 32 or 64 gigabytes of memory, has a 9.7 inch multi-touch screen yet only weighs in at 1.5 pounds. The company claims the device has a battery that can last 10 hours and can sit for a month on standby before needing a charge.

Some of the features include:

  • Surfing the web with Apples Safari browser                                                            
  • Sending and receiving e-mails
  • Saving and sharing photos
  • an electronic book store and book reading interface
  • a video player
  • iPod software for playing music
  • a newspaper reader program

Apple will sell a version with 3G data plans and without a long term contract. For those who experience a weak signal on the AT&T service we have a range of repeaters that will greatly improve your 3G data service. We recommend a dual band repeater so you can also have improved reception on your cell phone including the iPhone.

You can find a list of dual band repeaters on the following Repeaterstore page:

Hospital / University Large Building Installations

Tuesday, January 12th, 2010

We have had great success with our Wilson Ultimate II Repeater kits installed in large commercial-grade buildings and hospitals!

Multi-level commercial buildings & hospitals are more likely to have cell phone reception problems because of the newer, robust construction standards used nowadays.  Along with earthquake & tornado standards, and to a greater extent, higher R rating insulation, these factors significantly lower the penetration of cellular signal inside the building. A normally good outside signal will degrade significantly just a few meters inside these types of buildings and a cell phone booster is usually the answer. Also, cellular signals that normally penetrate windows, will not penetrate the new reflective solar tints that are commonly used .

In situations like this, Wilson Ultimate II Repeater kits are installed with excellent results. With just two exterior antennas mounted outside the building, an amplified cellular signal can be distributed throughout the inside.  Multiple interior ‘dome’ antennas are used to spread this signal along hallways, in waiting /break rooms and into lobby areas or cafeterias.   These same Dome antennas are easily installed in the drop ceilings to provide evenly distributed Cellular/PCS signal to the offices, conference rooms, showrooms and warehouses of commercial buildings as well.

 

Boost iPhone Signal Reception with an Amplifier

Friday, March 13th, 2009

Using the iPhone’s Field Test Mode allows you to easily find out which frequency your cell phone is using to access your cell phone carrier (usually AT&T). The instructions differ depending on whether your iPhone is using the 3G or non-3G network.

If your phone shows a 3G icon in the top left of the screen:

  1. Dial *3001#12345#* on the keypad and press call.
  2. Select “UMTS Cell Environment”
  3. Select “UMTS RR Info
  4. If the uplink frequency is a number between 4132 and 4233, your phone is using the 800/850MHz Band. If the uplink frequency is a number between 9262 and 9538, your phone is using the 1900MHz band.

If your phone shows no 3G icon in the top left of the screen:

  1. Dial *3001#12345#* on the keypad and press call.
  2. Select “GSM Cell Environment”
  3. Select “UMTS Network Information
  4. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and find the ARFCN
  5. If your ARFCN is between 128 and 251, then your phone is using the 800/850MHz band. If your ARFCN is between 512 and 810, then your phone is using the 1900MHz band.

 

Wilson Electronics iBooster Amplifier for iPhone

Monday, January 12th, 2009

The new Wilson Electronics iBooster – designed specifically for use with the Apple iPhone – was announced at this years Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. The Wilson iBooster provides improved signal while simultaneously charging the iPhone, and is designed for in-vehicle use.

The iBooster is compatible with both the iPhone and iPhone 3G, and improves signal for both 2G voice calls and 3G data transfers. The product will be available as a complete kit, including an all-in-one amplifier/charger cradle, a magnet-mount antenna, and a cigarette lighter power adapter. The included cradle perfectly fits the iPhone, while leaving enough room for most common protector cases.

The innards of the amplifier are based on the Wilson SignalBoost Pro 801240, which provides 40dB of uplink and downlink gain.

The product is expected to begin shipping in March 2009.
