This week, RepeaterStore.com attended CTIA Wireless 2008 in Las Vegas. The conference featured over 1,200 exhibitors encompassing all aspects of the wireless industry. Needless to say, our eyes were fixed firmly on the cellular repeaters.

Over the course of the 3-day conference, we met many of our current suppliers (Wilson Electronics, Wi-Ex, Digital Antenna) and others we are planning to add to our store in the very near future (Shyam, Cell Ranger, and more). We discussed the current repeaters on the market, as well as some new products manufacturers are releasing this year.

The following posts will expand on the new products we saw. We’ve taken some photos and we hope you enjoy this glimpse at CTIA Wireless 2008!

In collaboration with Repeaterstore.eu, our European based sister company, Repeaterstore is proud to announce a new database of worldwide mobile phone frequency information. Now anyone around the world can easily find a suitable repeater to boost their mobile phone signal!

The database has aggregated information on over 200 countries around the world and transformed it into a very simple to use interface. To use the database, you simply select the country you are located in, then select the Service Provider that your mobile phone uses. The database can tell you what frequency that Service Provider operates their network on and will link you directly to the repeaters we have that work on those frequencies.

Side Note: In the US, the licensed cell phone frequencies are 800/850MHz and 1900MHz, and all US networks operate somewhere within these bands. For most of the rest of the world however, the Mobile Phone Networks operate on the 900MHz & 1800MHz frequency bands and repeaters must be made especially for those frequencies. You can find these 900/1800MHz repeaters at RepeaterStore.eu. For standard US 800/1900MHz Repeaters try our Top Cell Phone Repeaters on Repeaterstore.com

Wilson is one of the longest established companies in the market. Their products are considered among the best quality available and we are delighted to have them in our catalog.

The inclusion of Wilson products means a significant expansion of our product range. For example, the inclusion of 60db amplifiers extends our product range to cover wider areas such as large offices and warehouses: The new 60dB wireless amplifiers increase the coverage of standard cellular repeaters by approximately 2.5 times. 60dB amplifiers will be available on 800MHz and 1900MHz frequency bands, as well as as an iDEN amplifier which supports Nextel – a first for RepeaterStore. An iDEN amplifier will also be available in the standard 50dB format, offering coverage of up to 2,500 square feet. The range also features new cellular repeater accessories such as antennas and surge protectors.

One new product we are particularly excited about is the SOHO dual band amplifier. Available shortly, we predict the SOHO will be one of the most popular amplifiers with customers. Designed specifically for home and small office environments, apartments, high rises, condominiums, and dormitories, it should fit very well into the consumer market.

Wilson products will be available for sale on RepeaterStore from next week, the Wilson catalog can be previewed by following this link:
