Wilson Electronics has announced that its AG Pro Quint indoor cellular signal booster has earned Federal Communications Commission (FCC) certification and is now available for purchase.
Wilson says the AG Pro Quint, winner of a 2013 CE Pro BEST Award, is the first signal booster certified to meet the FCC’s new technical standards, which on March 1, 2014 requires boosters not to interfere with wireless networks and cause interference to other calls, including emergency and 911 calls.
“Receiving the first FCC approval to the new network protection standards is a significant achievement for everyone at Wilson Electronics, and affirms our position as the industry and market leader,” says Robert Van Buskirk, President and CEO of Wilson Electronics. “We’re dedicated to providing the best quality and performance in signal booster product solutions, to enable cellular users to use their mobile devices where and when they need it.”
The AG Pro Quint enhances 4G and earlier-generation signals for all major U.S. cellular carriers’ networks. The five-band signal booster, which is designed for coverage in buildings up to 80,000 square feet, supports LTE and other cellular technologies and features the FCC maximum 70dB gain, and supports simultaneous connection by multiple cellular devices.
