Dumbo Reuters (Compiled Wen Hui) 11 23 news, 42-year-old Sean Kirkland (Sean Kirkland) is a company's sales and marketing executive vice president, responsible for meeting and event planning. Last year, he moved to San Diego a new house. Here together are the perfect addition to phone reception is not very good. This home office, he is, is simply abysmal. Whenever working with an important customer calls while the phone dropped, "I really want to go with his head against the wall," Kirkland says with exasperation.
To this end, he installed a cell phone signal amplifier (cell phone repeater). The cost of such products in between $ 250 to $ 1,000, mainly to see how they enhance the effect. It first through the roof in a residential installation (best position) to capture the external antenna cell phone signal, then signals are sent to the room coaxial cable signal amplifier and internal antenna, after being strengthened, and forwarded to the phone.
Kirkland said: "Now, I am at home in every corner can receive a clear signal was so happy."
But Kirkland solution legal? In March, representatives of the U.S. mobile phone service providers wireless communications and Internet Association (CTIA) to the U.S. Federal Communications Commission complaint, the signal amplifier required to adopt a more stringent control. The Commission is considering whether to make the country more than 100 million mobile phone users like Kirkland such a device.
Amplifier, there have been nearly a decade, but has not been widely used. And its applications are mostly commercial purposes. However, as the bandwidth consumption of the smart phone in the popularity of urban and rural areas, as well as some of the received signal factors have contributed to poor installation of a variety of owners in their own electronic device to get a stable signal.
AT & T and Verizon in their support of the application, wireless communications and Internet Association claims that the amplifier interfere with cellular networks, undermine the quality of service providers. Thus, wireless communications and Internet Association asked the Federal Communications Commission to "coordinate the use of signal amplifiers, and use of the Committee authorized to control the marketing of such products by the specialized agency responsible for."
In other words, wireless communications and Internet Association hopes mobile phone service providers to control the amplifier manufacturers, distributors and product users. The cell phone signal amplifier manufacturers, such as St. George, Utah Wilson Electronics (WilsonElectronics) and Norcross, Georgia's WirelessExtenders, then no doubt oppose this proposal.
They complain that wireless carriers would like to have driven out of a rapidly expanding market - more and more people choose to give up fixed-line telephone, instead relying on mobile phones. But such as concrete and lined with foil insulation materials and other common building materials may lead to adverse effects of indoor cell phone reception, and the amplifier is a good choice to solve this problem.
Wilson Electronics Chief Operating Officer Joe Munoz (JoeBanos) said: "In the past, people went to the room to answer the phone, and now you need to go to house an external phone."
Banos is not otherwise poor quality of the amplifier can sometimes lead to network outages, but said the Federal Communications Commission, the solution should be to strengthen the management of the manufacturing specifications.
"But now it seems, the Federal Communications Commission's standard of no use," banos said, because it does not require amplifiers need to have auto-off feature (when it detects interference starts).
Wilson's production of DeskTop type amplifier, priced at $ 250, the signal coverage up to 2,000 square feet; and WirelessExtenders priced at $ 399 zBoostSOHOYX545 amplifier indoor signal coverage has increased by 3,000 square feet. Both products are currently popular style, can support a variety of mobile phones. These devices can be in electronic stores and online retailers (like Amazon) at purchase.
Wilson Electronics and WirelessExtenders said their products in order to avoid interference, it will not affect the cellular network. Kirkland amplifier is a price of $ 375 ClearstreamMicrosite, the manufacturer is AntennasDirect. Although the company said the device is still an open testing phase, but also equipped with anti-jamming devices.
However, wireless communications and Internet Association's vice president of regulatory affairs Christopher Guttman - McCabe (ChristopherGuttman-McCabe) said that with the tablet PCs, smart phones and the popularity of personal mobile hotspot "wireless environment is constantly changing, and the signal interactions are more complex. "and without coordination and allow operators to put the amplifier used for signal reception practice," may also lead to serious network overload and confusion. "
In addition, Guttman - McCabe also pointed out that amplifiers sometimes interfere with public safety officials in a closed wireless network for communications. Indeed, the international professional association of public safety communications (AssociationofPublic-SafetyCommunications Professionals International) to support wireless communications and Internet Association, the practice of limiting amplifier operating personnel.
