Product Overview
The Cell Ranger PORT is the first device to feature a microprocessor, making it the next-generation of cell phone repeaters. The Cell Ranger series are driven by a microprocesor, which actively monitors the frequency and concentrates it's power where it is needed. This gives reliabilty and performance enhancements that you cannot get with traditional repeaters.
The Cell Ranger PORT is wireless, and so works with all cell phone and data card models – from the most basic handsets to the latest smartphones!. It is dual band, and so works with all US carriers except Nextel. The unit is USB powered, so is perfect for portable laptop use, or permanent installation in a home/office.
Installing the Cell Ranger PORT is very easy. Just place the antenna near a window where you get some signal, making sure it is over 8ft from the unit. Then just plug the unit into your laptop/desktop USB port - once plugged in, the Cell Ranger is up and running and improving your reception.

User Reviews
"I am the proud owner of both the Cell Ranger STIX and the Cell Ranger Port. I have learned on my forty (40) mile commute into Atlanta that cellular coverage is of varying quality even when you can see a tower every few miles. The Cell Ranger STIX provides the consistent signal that enables long conversations with my wife and friends, which, in turn, seem to shorten that long drive. The Cell Ranger STIX virtually eliminates the dropped calls and 'fade out' that used to annoy both me and the other person on the call.
My use of the Cell Ranger PORT is quite different – I work in an office where I use my personal laptop to keep track of emails and to do research on the Internet. I use a cellular modem to provide my network connectivity. At my desk, I find the cellular signal to be 'marginal' – which is a euphemism for 'very irritating'. I now plug a Cell Ranger PORT into the USB port on my laptop for power, placing its antenna as far away as possible (and as high as possible). With that arrangement, I am always able to receive an important email or research the 'next thing' on the Internet without worrying about whether I have a connection or not. Thanks for two wonderful products I use every day."
