zBoost Cell Phone Signal Boosters Utilized At The WIRED Business Conference: Disruptive By Design In Partnership With MDC Partners

ATLANTA, May 1, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Wi-Ex (www.wi-ex.com), a leading provider of consumer and commercial cell phone signal boosters, announced today that the fourth annual WIRED Business Conference: Disruptive by Design in partnership with MDC Partners is utilizing several zBoost by Wi-Ex cell phone signal boosters to provide the more than 400 thought-leaders in attendance with a reliable indoor cell phone signal.  The zBoost line allows consumers to take full advantage of data, voice and Internet services on their iPhones(TM), iPads(TM), connected devices and smartphones.

Held at the Museum of Jewish Heritage in New York City, the WIRED Business Conference is a one-day symposium featuring C-level executives and thought-leaders featuring groundbreaking discussions on disruptive business practices, ideas, and innovations. Spot On Networks installed the zBoost signal boosters for the symposium.

"The building is a cellular dead zone due to the building's exterior construction – primarily the lead tinted windows.  Prior to the installation of the zBoost solution, the only way to make a phone call was to open a door and go outside of the building," said William Howard, Vice President of Project Management for Spot On Networks.  "The addition of the zBoost allows for the attendees to stay connected to their offices during the event."

The phone signal boosters were installed in several locations within the three-story building including the auditorium and conference rooms, the lunchroom, lobby area and reception area.

"Smartphones and tablets are an essential part of staying connected to the office, however a poor indoor cell phone signal can make this a challenge," said Michael Cummiskey of Wi-Ex.  "With Spot On Networks help, we provided the attendees of the WIRED Business Conference with the ability to stay on top of emails, phone calls and texts, as well as Tweet the latest conference news all while still enjoying the conference."

Benefits of using a zBoost cell phone signal booster include:

• Increases indoor signal coverage
• Supports multiple users simultaneously
• Compatible with all U.S. carriers and mobile devices using 800 & 1900 MHz (except Nextel/iDEN or 4G, 2100MHz phones)
• Increases voice and data transmission
• Decreases dropped or missed calls
• No cradle or connections to your phone
• Extends phone battery life (uses less power when signal is stronger)
• Protects the carrier network using patented technology
