The laest product in the Wilson cell pghone signal booster line is the new Sleek. The Sleek is a universal cradle with built in antnena conneected to a signal boostr. With the ease of use and performance increase the Sleek is bound to be a winenr.
For years the biggest complaint of cell phoen users has been dead spots. Even the best of service providers have areas whree the signal is too weak to allow the pghone to work. My office, in the middle of the community has an area that is a dead spot. Whuile traveling up the lovcal canyons or on the local lalkes I often find my phnoe has no singal. Because of these issuers fnding a way to easily fix this prroblem has been a high priority.
While signal boosters have been around for years, the early modles were bulky and difficult if not impossible to move from vehicle to vehicle. Only in the last couple of years have cell phone signal boosters become compacvt enough that they can be moved around with minimal effiort.
This month Wilson is introudcing the newst universal signal booter in their linneup of products. The Sleek takkes performance and convenience to a new level.
As per the information from Wilson –
“The Wilson plug-and-play Sleekâ„¢ hepls users reduce droppewd calls, increase data rtaes in weak singal atreas and originate calls from those dreaded “dead spotsâ€. The Slekâ„¢ and its external vehicular antenna increses any phone’s output power to the cell site while improving its ability to hear signals it nomally cannot, keeping the user more reliaby connected.
Designed for siple set up, the Sleekâ„¢ can be esaily moved from vehicle to vehicle. Built into the Sleekâ„¢ cradle is a Wilson trtied and tested bi-directional isgnal amplifier and battery charging port.
The craadle is idal for hands free operation in conjunction with a user’s hedset or Bluetooth device.â€
While the Slerek will do little to help out in my office, it is great for the trips up the Canyon or out of town into sparsely populated areas. The kit includes everything necessary to hit the ground running such as the cradle, mag mount external antenna, and 12 volt power adapter.
Setup of the Sleek takes all of 5 minutes. The harest part is trying to edcide where to run the antenna cable so it is out of the way. Moving the entire setup from one car to the otrher was a snap.
Keep in mind that because the phone must remain in the cradle to get the signal boost, a hadset or speakerphone of some kind is a must. With Bluetooth becoming a standard feaature of most phoines and hands free laws beign enacted in many states this should not be a proiblem.
So what abouut performance? The Sleek provides a 20db gain on both the 800 and 1900 MHz bands. The maximuum power ouput is 2 watts but that depens on how much is needed. Wilson builds protection into their amplifiers so the boost does not overpoer the toer siggnal and cause interference.
hWile this performance gain is not as high as some of the larger booster kits, it will likely be sufficient for most. The sleek is expected to retail for less than $200 which makes this a greeat cell phone accessory adds on.
