A better way

Cell phones are great when they work, but they sure can be annoying when you're in less-than-optimal reception areas. Dropped calls, weak signal, and dead spots make a simple call a trial. Wilson Electronics' line of signal boosters answers the question "Isn't there a way to make this work?"

A better way

In the cradle

The Sleek 4G cell phone signal booster from Wilson Electronics offers improved cell phone reception in areas with a weak signal. The package includes a roof-mount antenna, a connecting cable, and a cradle. Installation is simple, and you can switch this booster from vehicle to vehicle in a matter of minutes. The cradle-style configuration makes it perfect for your Bluetooth device and for hands-free headsets. The cradle also includes a mini-USB battery charging port which allows you to charge your device directly from the Sleek, and the Sleek's adjustable and interchangeable arms allow it to adapt to any phone.

For indoor or office use, you can use the Sleek's antenna with an optional window suction-cup mount (available as part of the Home Accessory Kit, sold separately) to receive cellular signals; in the car, the magnet-mount antenna adheres to the outside of the vehicle to provide reception.

On the road

Once you're connected and powered up, you'll enjoy better signal reception, fewer dropped calls, and extended calling range. The booster delivers up to 23 dB of gain, which amplifies the available signal to let you talk through dead spots, expand your coverage, and boost 3G/2G data rates in areas with weak signal. With your device secure in the Sleek's arms, you're ready to hit the road and stay connected.

Features

Overview: The Wilson Electronics Sleek 4G cell phone signal booster is designed to improve the cell signal inside your vehicle. Voice calls are clearer, you'll have fewer dropped calls and dead spots, and data rates will increase. The Sleek 4G works with all major carriers, and includes a mountable phone cradle that is ideal for hands-free operation, either with a separate hands-free headset or Bluetooth device. The cradle also includes a USB port for charging your phone.

Simple Installation: The Sleek 4G cell phone signal booster consists of three main components: the booster cradle, the antenna, and the power supply. The cradle can be mounted to your dash using the self-adhesive mounting bracket. The mini-magnet mount antenna goes on the roof of your vehicle with the attached cable routed inside and plugged into the cradle. The Sleek 4G is powered by the 12-volt cigarette lighter adapter and included USB cable. This simple installation means you can easily move the signal booster to another vehicle.

Benefits: The Wilson Electronics Sleek 4G helps increase the signal strength in typically weak signal areas. With stronger signals, your cell phone doesn't have to work as hard to find a signal, extending battery life. Data rates are increased, meaning 4G, 3G, and 2G data download times are reduced.

Before you use the product, you must register the device with your wireless provider, and have your provider's consent. Most wireless providers consent to the use of signal boosters, however, some providers may not consent*. You must operate the device with approved antennas and cables as specified by the manufacturer. Antennas must be installed at least 8" from any person.

* The four largest carriers -- AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon, and Sprint -- and more than 90 regional carriers have given a blanket consent to all boosters meeting the new certifications standards.
