Poor cellular reception? The solution is here at a price tag of US$ 350.
ZBoost YX-510 Cellular Repeater can create a stronger signal in your apartment’s most vacant cellular airspaces. Maybe is a little expensive. But it’s a lot cheaper than finding another apartment where the signals are better. It’s a dual band, in the PCS 1900 MHz and Cellular 800 MHz bands, which covers signals of EVDO, HSDPA, AT&T, T-Mobile, Sprint and Verizon flavors in the US. It grabs a decent signal inside or outside a window, or even better, on a roof, using a big antenna. The repeater connects to the antenna by a long piece of coax, and boosts a signal by up to 55DB.
That’s good enough to clear up calls and reduce dropped connections in the ultra dead cellular zone
