Keep Business Travellers Happy, Eliminate Dead Zones


Cell phones are a necessity for many travelers and they need them to work at all times. There is a patent pending technology produced by Wi-Ex (www.wi-ex.com), that can boost cell phone reception indoors. The technology works by repeating and amplifying the cell signal. The majority of products in this category use an antenna that is close to the outside of a building and attached to a device within the building. It can create improved reception and signal strength in spaces as large as 10,000 sq. ft. Installation is relatively easy and the device can be placed out of sight. These products work with all frequencies and are therefore compatible with almost every carrier.

This technology could be greatly appreciated by guests who rely on their cell phone or PDA in order to conduct business. Hotels could eliminate all dead spots on their property so that guests could receive excellent reception no matter where they are on property. They could be installed in elevator shafts, meeting spaces, and guest rooms or floors. This could be very useful for hotel properties with structures that inhibit cell phone signals from penetrating all areas. A guest would never again have to stand by a window in order to make a call or send data messages. Providing guests with a better work environment would increase guest satisfaction and increase the productivity of business travelers.
