Cellphone USB Ranger: Out, Out Dead Spots!

If you live in a populated area and have trouble with calls dropping as you drive under bridges or in between large buildings there's a new cell booster that may be able to help. Cell Ranger Port takes power from your USB port and uses a microprocessor system to clean up and boost GSM and GPRS signals in areas of poor reception or interference. The USB stick booster has a 15 foot cable that leads to a magnetic base antenna. You can attach the cable anywhere that's convenient and it will claims to give you a couple of extra bars and up your bandwidth. The Ranger works on the principle that the cell towers are much better at handling transmission noise and errors the handset so it only bothers with the tower signal. While it claims to be friendly with blue-tooth and GPS signals it won't help them. Cellular customers working within the 800-1900 MHz range (except for those belonging to Sprint/Nextel) can get help but only in North America for the moment. That should cover most NA carriers including 3G signals. Your mileage may vary but every little bit helps when you are slaved to your phone or miss calls in places you find yourself too often. Prices start at a little over $110 and can be ordered now. click source
