ST. GEORGE, Utah, Sep 08, 2011 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Wilson Electronics ( www.WilsonElectronics.com ), manufacturer of North America's top-selling line of cellular signal boosters, announced the availability of the company's 4G LTE 700 signal booster, built to improve the performance of any LTE device operating on Verizon Wireless'(TM) 700 MHz 4G network. The signal booster is on display at CEDIA Expo 2011, booth #437 in Indianapolis, Indiana.

With a suggested retail price of $359.95, the Wilson 4G LTE 700 is the most affordable consumer 4G booster available. And unlike other 4G boosters on the market, Wilson's feature very fast automatic oscillation sensing technology and auto-shutdown, as well as cell tower proximity detection and auto-shutdown, in addition to other cell site protection safeguards. These features make it the safest consumer 4G signal booster available.

It also features the highest signal gain for a consumer booster at 70 dB--for maximum coverage area indoors. The results are reliable connections where before there was weak signal or no signal, and faster data transfer speeds.

"Wilson is now providing for users of Verizon 4G devices the same signal boosting benefits that our customers on 3G networks have enjoyed," said Joe Banos, Wilson Electronics COO. "This booster will bring Verizon's 4G signal to those experiencing weak or blocked signal indoors."

The 4G LTE 700 features separate adjustable gain controls - one for the uplink (device-to-tower communication), and another for the downlink (tower-to-device communication). These gain controls allow the unit's gain, or signal amplification level, to be optimized for its specific location. This also simplifies the installation process by allowing for more flexibility in the correct placement of the booster's interior and exterior antennas.

Two of Wilson Electronics' executives have been recognized by Utah-based vSpring Capital as members of vSpring’s 2011 Top 100 Venture Entrepreneur list.

Peers in the Utah business community voted Chief Operating Officer, Joe Banos and director of marketing, Jonathan Bacon to the v100 list of Emerging Utah Entrepreneurs.

“It’s an honor for both of us to be nominated and included on a list of the state’s top entrepreneurs,” Bacon said. “This is recognition of the technical innovation and business growth that Wilson has shown.”

Wilson Electronics produced record revenues in 2010 and is ahead of pace to break that record in 2011. The company recently went live with a redesigned Web presence that is helping propel sales growth.

“We’re always looking for ways to help our customers and the vast network of resellers who help promote our products, and the new design and layout of our website is an excellent tool,” Bacon said. “We will continue to update it to create a better user experience so these key audiences can find better information about our top selling line of cellular signal boosters.”

As many of you already know, our boosters (like the Wilson Sleek) are vital in helping out all those folks and businesses located in rural areas. Without our boosters, many could not perform even the simplest tasks (like making a phone call!) in their home, office, etc. Check out the excerpt below from our press release that explains more about how Wilson boosters help rural residents and businesses stay connected--

"Workers at remote job sites and country dwellers who choose to live far outside population centers are increasingly using signal boosters from Wilson Electronics, manufacturer of North America’s top-selling line of cellular signal boosters, to overcome frustration caused by unreliable cellular signals.

Recently, consultants at a geological test site in the rugged American Southwest and a family in rural upstate New York have deployed Wilson signal boosters as a solution for weak signals that hindered voice and data communication.

Softrock Geological Services, a consulting firm in Durango, Colo., was contracted to do geological testing for an energy project in the remote San Juan Basin of the Four Corners area of the southwestern U.S. The test site crew’s distance from the nearest cell tower in combination with natural terrain obstacles made communication with the outside world difficult."

Below is an excerpt from an official statement we made earlier today regarding the FCC's issuance of an NPRM. Feel free to share your thoughts with us in this matter, by leaving a comment with us in the section below.

“Wilson Electronics commends the FCC and its Commissioners for its issuance of a Notice of Proposed Rule Making (NPRM), which will gather industry suggestions as to what specifications cellular signal boosters should meet in order to obtain FCC certification. Today's action ensures that cellular signal boosters can continue to benefit consumers in underserved areas and help public safety officials in their jobs.

“We are pleased the FCC agrees that new standards for signal boosters are needed. We are hopeful that as the rulemaking process proceeds, the Commission will adopt the standards proposed by Wilson in 2009 to protect consumers from poorly designed boosters that can interfere with cellular service and damage service provider networks.

Today we announced at the International CTIA Wireless 2011 show in Orlando, a battery pack accessory that makes two of our most popular boosters truly portable.

The Wilson portable battery pack weighs about 2 ounces when loaded with four standard AAA batteries (about 0.5 ounces on its own). It will operate the Sleek signal booster for two hours of talk time (voice or data), and up to six hours in standby mode. The device, which measures just under 3 inches tall by 2 inches wide, and 0.5 inches thick, will have a suggested retail price of $16.95. It is on display at CTIA booth #4633.

The portable battery pack, available starting in April, combined with the Sleek (2.5 ounces) will provide a fully portable cellular signal boosting solution to remote workers, emergency personnel and recreationists who may need connectivity in weak signal areas while away from a building or vehicle. The battery pack will also power the award-winning MobilePro signal booster, and connects to each device via a USB cord supplied with each product. When connected to the MobilePro, it will give about one hour of talk time, and up to three hours of idle time. "The portable battery pack makes two of our top selling boosters, the Sleek and MobilePro, even more portable," said Laine Matthews, Wilson Electronics director of business development. "Construction workers, Search and Rescue personnel, Wildland Firefighters, cyclists, hikers and others can now have the benefit of these two signal boosters in outdoor locations where there is no other power source available. The battery pack is perfect for these kinds of situations -- when staying connected isn't just a convenience, but a matter of personal safety." Wilson cellular signal boosters work with phones, tablets, data cards, machine-to-machine (M2M) applications as well as cellular-enabled multiple Internet access devices, such as the Mi-Fi, which operate on networks using North American cellular bands.
