Wi-Ex zBoost ONE – Zero Installation Repeater Kit!
Wednesday, August 19th, 2009Love repeaters but hate laying cable and putting up antennas? Well the zBoost ONE could the cellular repeater you’ve been waiting for! The Wi-Ex zBoost ONE (or YX400-P in Wi-Ex’s mysterious language) requires absolutely no installation, save from putting it near a window and switching it on.
Those clever boffins down at Wi-Ex Central have managed to cram the antennas, cable and amplifier into a single, sleek 2lbs unit. This means that to use the Wi-Ex YX400-P zBoost ONE all you need to do is find a window where you currently get a bit of signal. Place the zBoost ONE near the window, switch it on and you instantly have up to 1,200 sq ft of usable signal.
