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.
