zBoost zForce Reviews by AndroidSpin and Truly Gadget

Posted on March 9, 2012 | Leave a comment

The zBoost zForce is receiving good reviews from customers and the media.  Here are two reviews that were recently written about the zBoost zForce.

The first review was by Kevin Shen at AndroidSpin.

zBoost zForce – Force Your Signal to be Stronger

Last time I reviewed one of zBoost’s products, I mentioned how the SOHO Xtreme improved my signal vastly, up to 5,500 feet. However, what if you’re on the go? What if you’re driving and you need to make some important calls? (Although we don’t recommend you use your cell phone while driving) There are times when you need to make calls while in motion though, such as emergencies. If you don’t have a good signal and you’re stuck in an emergency, and SOS won’t respond, then you’re as good as..worthless?

Thankfully, zBoost is back to save us again, and if you guys need a good cell phone signal booster, then the zBoost zForce YX240 is good for you. Comes in at a cool $149.99 MSRP with the Gooseneck adapter, or $99 MSRP without it.

The Good

-Product is extremely easy to install-took me around a minute or two.

-The zBoost zForce actually works, and improved my signal in my car from 1 bar to 3 bars. I was having a very nice time making test phone calls, and all the recipients who were on the other line told me that I was very clear and thought that I was on a landline.

-The zBoost zForce works on almost any phone, as it even (barely) fit snugly with my Galaxy Nexus’ 4.65 inch screen with a case attached onto it-good part on zBoost’s part on making this thing compatible with a cross selection of devices.

-The zBoost zForce comes with a wide array of adapters-a cigarette adapter, as well as a micro-USB adapter.

-Being able to pick up the booster for under $100 bucks without the additional gooseneck makes it a good price for a product that works well.

The second review was written by Greg May at TrulyGadgets.com

zBoost zForce YX240: In-Ve­hi­cle Boost­ing

Cell re­cep­tion has be­come an im­por­tant fac­tor in our lives. Some of our staff have turned down apart­ments be­cause their car­ri­er didn’t of­fer good re­cep­tion.

That’s what the zBoost zForce YX240 is for. Aimed at drivers who want a small zone of boost­ed sig­nal, this is a portable, in-car so­lu­tion. We’ve tried out Wi-Ex’s line of boost­ers be­fore, with their SO­HO mod­el. As we point­ed out then, boost­ers won’t cre­ate ser­vice out of noth­ing- the fem­to­cell us­es your broad­band con­nec­tion to pro­vide ser­vice, but a boost­er needs some­thing to boost. One ben­e­fit, though, is that they are car­ri­er-neu­tral- any­one will be sup­port­ed, ex­cept for 4G and iDEN/Nex­tel.

In­stal­la­tion isn’t su­per-sim­ple, though- you will need to mount an ex­ter­nal mag­net­ic an­ten­na (in­clud­ed), and run a ca­ble from the an­ten­na to the cra­dle. The ca­ble pro­vid­ed is on­ly 10 feet long, which wasn’t long enough in our opin­ion. It took us a few tries to fig­ure out a po­si­tion that would work, al­low­ing us to run the ca­ble with­out it be­ing awk­ward. Once con­nect­ed, an LED will light up green to show that ev­ery­thing is work­ing. Once set­up, you’ll al­so need to make sure your mo­bile de­vice stays in the cra­dle for best re­sults in boost­ed sig­nal. Which es­sen­tial­ly means that you’ll be forced to use speak­er­phone, or more like­ly, a Blue­tooth head­set. That isn’t a bad thing- it’s cer­tain­ly safer- but might be awk­ward for any pas­sen­gers.

zBoost Your Mobile Phone and End Dropped Calls and Slow Data

Barcelona, Spain – February 27, 2012 – Wi-Ex, a leading provider of consumer and commercial mobile phone signal boosters for the home and office, is showcasing its zBoost International product line including the zBoost-ONE UMTS 3G Signal Booster and zBoost for Home and Office at the 2012 Mobile World Congress in Hall 2-0 booth 2J29. The zBoost line allows consumers to take full advantage of data, voice and Internet services on their iPhones™, iPads™, connected devices and smartphone.

Recent industry statistics state that global mobile phone data more than doubled for the fourth year in a row in 2011 and that the number of mobile-connected devices will surpass the number of people on earth by the end of 2012. With zBoost, users can take full advantage of voice, data and Internet services on their iPhone, Blackberry, DROID, smartphone, iPad and other tablets including 3G high speed data, video, instant messaging, pictures and more at home and in the office.

“Smartphones and tablets are quickly becoming staples in today’s hyper connected world with consumers crossing over and using their mobile phones and tablets for both business and personal use. A poor mobile phone signal results in dropped and missed calls, as well as very, very slow or non-existent data and Internet access—even on a 3G phone,” said Mike Cummiskey, vice president with Wi-Ex. “With the rapid growth of smartphones, tablets and other connected devices, products like zBoost are becoming a necessity for today’s digital lifestyle. The zBoost line of products improves signal strength for better voice and data transmission while maintaining the integrity of the carriers’ networks using patented technology.”

Designed for consumers and network operators, the zBoost-ONE™ UMTS 3G signal booster consists of one base unit with no external aerials and extends 3G Voice and Data Zones™ for single or multiple users in homes or offices using UMTS/HSPA (2100MHz). The zBoost for Home and Office, a dual band unit, works with all mobiles on the 900 MHz and 1800 MHz frequencies and allows consumers outside of the US to experience increased indoor mobile signal coverage – up to 250 sq. meters.

zBoost-ONE UMTS

Designed to create an indoor zone for 3G data services, the zBoost-ONE UMTS can significantly enhance the throughput of the mobile data, and in some cases allow data to work in areas where data access would otherwise not be available.

The zBoost-ONE UMTS supports UMTS data protocols at 2100MHz. Internationally, the high data speeds of UMTS are now most often utilized for Internet access making the zBoost an ideal product for people with smartphones like iPhone, Blackberry, Android (DROID) and Palm. It finds the mobile network and automatically begins reducing dropped calls and increasing data throughput. The zBoost-ONE UMTS is consumer friendly with a very simple set up – place the unit in the window, plug it in and enjoy the data functionality on a UMTS mobile and aircards up to 130 square meters. The zBoost-ONE UMTS is ready to go out of the box with two simple steps including synching the zBoost-ONE to the wireless carrier for their device (datacard, BlackBerry, iPhone, etc.) and then finding the best location for the zBoost-ONE. The zBoost-ONE UMTS retails for $299 FOB Atlanta.

The benefits of the zBoost-ONE include:

· Consists of one base unit with no external aerials

· Dramatically improves data rates

· Improves weak signal locations

· Easy to install – Syncs to your mobile

· Totally wireless operation

· Supports data cards and PDAs

· Low power consumption

Creating A Website – Not as Hard as Expected

Posted on February 24, 2012 | Leave a comment

I have spent the last two days creating a website.  I can’t believe I just typed those words.  That is a statement I never expected to make.  As the owner of a small business, I needed a new website that I can easily update.  This website needs to include a calendar, blog, map, comments, picture slide show and quite a bit of description.

Since I am an avid Google users and love Google docs, Picasa, Google alerts, Gmail, Google Maps and all things Google, I naturally turned to Google to create a website.  For a only $10 I was able to buy my domain name for one year.  Then it was a matter of finding the template that best met my needs.  This is a vacation rental website, so I found a beautiful template of a home in Zanzibar and just started replacing their information for mine.

Now they didn’t have all of the pages or gadgets I needed but adding pages was simple and once you clicked on insert there is a whole selection of items you can add to the website including, slideshows, text boxes, calendars, maps, photos and much more.

If you are looking to build a website, send me a note.  I would be happy to walk through my successes and frustrations, hopefully saving you hours of angst.  Even though it was a bit frustrating at times, I had several moments of extreme pleasure in knowing that an older dog can accomplish new tricks.

106.7 million Smartphone Users in 2012

Posted on February 17, 2012 | Leave a comment

Smartphones are such a big part of our lives, that forgetting your phone at home is usually the beginning of a very bad day.  How is it possible that something that didn’t exist five years ago now directs us through our daily activities?

As we all read more and more information online, it’s almost impossible to do so while tied to your computer.  To stay on top of the news, email and social media you need to be able to make use of the dead time that occurs throughout the day, by utilizing your smartphone or tablet.

I was recently out of the country and had Wi-Fi accessibility throughout the day, allowing me to access my smartphone for everything except phone calls.  As a result, when I returned I was fully caught up on all aspects of my personal and business life.  Some might see that as an imposition but I like knowing that I am caught up with the events that occurred while I was away.

The following excerpts from eMarketer Digital Intelligence address the increased need for connected devices to stay on top of the information overload that we all face in both our business and personal lives.

Connected Devices Become Key to Content Consumption
February 17, 2012

The devices that power our digital lives have undergone disruptive changes over the past several years. Smartphones have evolved from text-based communication tools to multimedia hubs. Ereaders and tablets have grown from cool ideas to transformative technologies. Televisions, game consoles and media players have gained internet connectivity, and with it, access to new worlds of digital content.

“As these device categories evolve and new ones come into being, consumers will continue to expect digital content to be available on all screens, at all times, in all locations,” said Paul Verna, eMarketer senior analyst and author of the new report, “Smart Devices: Evolution and Convergence.”

In the US over the next two years, eMarketer expects more than 26 million mobile phone users to turn to smartphones, helping put the devices in the hands of more than half of all US mobile users by 2014.

AndroidSPIN: zBoost SOHO Xtreme will efficiently boost your signal

Posted on February 7, 2012 | 1 Comment

Kevin Shen, reviewer and writer for AndroidSPIN recently took the time to setup the zBoost SOHO Xtreme and put it through a thorough test.  This is the first zBoost SOHO Xtreme review since it’s launch at CES.  Read excerpts from Kevin’s review below or to read the full article with images showing the signal improvement on his phone, go to -http://androidspin.com/product-review/review-zboost-soho-xtreme-boost-cell-signal-at-your-home-or-office/

Review: zBoost SOHO Xtreme – Boost cell signal at your home or Office

Review Bottom Line: 4 / 5 – Very Good

In a world where everything seems to go wireless: cell phones, battery charging, laptops, tablets, TVs, sometimes our signal just isn’t strong enough to give us what we want. This especially applies to cell phones, since networks can’t possibly cover every inch of the nation with 3-4 bars of coverage. That’s where zBoost comes in, as they are trying to literally “boost” your signal in low coverage areas.

In my office per day, I experience only 1-2 bars of signal. The maximum I’ve ever received was 2 bars, never 3. Thanks to zBoost for sending over their new SOHO Xtreme for review, I was finally able to get 3-4 bars of data (Note: 3G only) and calls weren’t fuzzy anymore. The product, however, does take a bit of installing, like mounting an antenna on your roof. It took me about an hour to get everything fixed up, but it was worth it. They also include everything you need in the box: from the nails you need for mounting the antenna to the instruction manual. (Hey, who needs manuals?)

What’s in the Box?

Obviously you want to know what you get in the box. zBoost did a great job here by providing a full kit of what you’ll need to set up your SOHO Xtreme, so you won’t need to spend any extra money on cables or adapters.

  • SOHO Xtreme Base Unit
  • Base Unit Antenna
  • Power Supply
  • Signal Antenna and Mounting Hardware (Yes, that includes the screws!)
  • Coaxial Cable (RG-6, 50ft)

Performance and Cost

As a current Verizon customer, the zBoost SOHO Xtreme improved my signal from 1-2 bars to 3-4 bars. It covered my whole office, and the press sheet says that it covers up to 5,500 square feet. I walked out and took a walk, and after a minute or two of running, I noticed that my signal got weaker. But this was expected, as this product isn’t a Network Tower. Overall, I was quite impressed, as at first I wasn’t really believing this whole “signal booster” product. However, there are a few downsides, as you have to face the signal booster towards the room you’re in. Meaning, if you’re making a phone call behind that signal booster, then you won’t be getting optimum performance. Also, as previously mentioned, you need to mount the antenna on a roof, which means that this isn’t the easiest product to set up. Thankfully for me, I simply placed the signal antenna on a wall outside and it worked like a charm.

There are some visual aids on the signal booster, such as a Green/Red light that tells you if the unit is receiving and sending out signal properly. It’s a bit confusing at first, though, but I got used to it fairly quickly.

The SOHO Xtreme boosted my signal rather quickly, as I reached up to three bars after turning the unit on. This test was conducted using an iPhone 4S, in case any of you were wondering. The SOHO Xtreme cover ups to 5,500 square feet, larger than its smaller brother, the SOHO.

Simplicity and Durability

When the UPS delivery man gave me this package, it was honking big. I thought it was going to be a pain to set up, and that there were going to be 100-page manuals that I’d have to read. Thankfully zBoost saved me that trouble, as you get a few cables, your AC Adapter, your antenna, and the signal booster base unit. The antenna looked extremely durable from my viewpoint, and it looked like it could survive throughout the year.

Setting up the antenna booster, however, isn’t just a plug and chug as previously mentioned. You need to physically go up onto your roof (Or in my case, a patio) and mount it on the top of your house so that you can get optimum performance. Also, you want to make sure that you don’t get in the way of any metal that could potentially interfere with your antenna. It’s not the easiest to set up such as your smartphone, but this really shouldn’t take you more than an hour. Trust me, the end result is worth it!

Overall

The Good:

  • Significantly improved my signal from 1-2 bars to 3-4      bars.
  • Coverage of up to 5,500 feet.
  • Clearer phone calls, faster data. Works on any network      carrier. In my case, Verizon Wireless.

The Not-so-Good:

  • $549 price tag may scare away customers
  • Although it’s not the hardest to set up, it still      requires you to physically get out and stick that stick on your roof!

Overall, I can say that the SOHO Xtreme is a well-rounded product and will efficiently boost your signal. It’s reliable, but the cost may make some buyers think twice about it. It costs a total of $549, which will take a heavy toll on your wallet. Unless you need to constantly make calls like I do, I would strongly suggest thinking about another option.

However, over my past 5 days of working with the product, I experienced clearer phone calls, better signal reliability, and a bit faster data speeds. I was incredibly impressed by the product and I’ll be looking forward to experiencing more zBoost products in the future.

Interested in buying one?

If you have a need or hankering to pick one up, you can so via their website at Wi-Ex.com. You will find other information as well as other valuable products. Alternatively, you can pick a SOHO Xtreme up via the Amazon link below for a steep discount of nearly $220 off, making it only $357.25.

zBoost Interview Featured on Geek News

Posted on February 1, 2012 | 1 Comment

This interview needs a little explanation for our regular readers.  First of all it’s actually Roni Pridemore being interviewed instead of Sharon Cuppett, we had a last-minute substitute, and I promise, we didn’t try to steal Don’s phone when we left the interview with the zBoost zForce.  When we received a call about 15 minutes later to return the phone, we all had a good laugh.

The video interview gives a good overview of the new zBoost zForce, zBoost Xtreme, and zBoost 4G-V. Thanks to Todd and Don for taking the time to share zBoost with their audience.

zBoost by Wi-Ex is a range of signal extenders that will improve cell and mobile phone coverage in weak areas. Todd and Don discuss zBoost’s latest products with Roni Pridemore (and they get a mention on Wi-Ex’s blog)

zBoost by Wi-Ex logo

Wi-Ex launched two new products at CES, the first being the zBoost 4G-V, a signal booster for 4G frequencies on Verizon, the largest mobile carrier with over 100 million subscribers. A whole 4G product line is under development, including dual- and tri-band boosters. Available in Q2 2012 for around $220.

The second is an in-car booster, the zBoost zForce, which comprises a cradle for the phone and a magnetised antenna for the outside of the vehicle. Powered from the cigarette adaptor, the zForce can boost coverage by about 10x, eliminating dead spots and increasing range in rural areas. Retailing at only $99, it will be available shortly.

(You’ll have to watch the Blue Microphone interview to realise this, but in this video Roni borrows Don’s phone to demonstrate the zForce and then walks off with the phone at the end of the interview!)

The World’s First “Car phone” – Way Back in 1920

Posted on January 31, 2012 | Leave a comment

Way back in 1920, wireless phone users were saying “Can you hear me?”.  This is an interesting story from Smithsonian Magazine of the first car phone.  If you thought the car phones from the 80′s were large, take a look at the 1920 version.

An inventor from Philadelphia using his “wireless telephone” technology in 1920

As I noted last week, the term “wireless telephone” in the early 1920s didn’t necessarily mean a device that could both transmit and receive messages. In fact, most radio devices during this time were simply either a transmitter or a receiver. However, some inventors were having a lot of fun tinkering with what was essentially walkie-talkie technology, in that they were developing transceivers — devices that could both transmit and receive radio messages. An article in the March 21, 1920 Sandusky Register in Sandusky, Ohio retold the story of a man in Philadelphia named W. W. Macfarlane who was experimenting with his own “wireless telephone.” With a chauffeur driving him as he sat in the back seat of his moving car he amazed a reporter from The Electrical Experimenter magazine by talking to Mrs. Macfarlane, who sat in their garage 500 yards down the road.

Headline for an article in the March 21, 1920 Sandusky Register (Sandusky, Ohio)

A man with a box slung over his shoulder and holding in one hand three pieces of stove pipe placed side by side on a board climbed into an automobile on East Country Road, Elkins Park, Pa.

As he settled in the machine he picked up a telephone transmitter, set on a short handle, and said:

“We are going to run down the road. Can you hear me?”

Other passengers in the automobile, all wearing telephone receivers, heard a woman’s voice answering: “Yes, perfectly. Where are you?”

By this time the machine was several hundred yards down the road and the voice in the garage was distinctly heard.

This was one of the incidents in the first demonstration of the portable wireless telephone outfit invented by W. W. Macfarlane, of Philadelphia, as described by the Electrical Experimenter.

Mrs. Macfarlane, sitting in the garage back of the Macfarlane home, was talking through the wireless telephone to her husband, seated comfortably in a moving automobile 500 yards away.

The occupants of the car were a chauffeur, a reporter and a photographer. All wore the telephone receivers and could hear everything Mrs Macfarlane was saying. The chauffeur had no other apparatus than the receiver with the usual telephone cord attached to a metal clip to his steering wheel.

Lying beside Mr. Macfarlane was the foot-square box, the only “secret” in the whole demonstration. What is in the box is the inventor’s mystery. This box weighs about twelve pounds. The other machinery used consisted only of the usual telephone transmitter and receivers and the three pieces of stove pipe standing erect on a plain piece of board. This forms the aerial of the apparatus.
