Boost the 4G signal on your device with the Sleek 4G from Wilson Electronics

The Sleek 4G booster can be installed on vehicles |
The Sleek 4G will be displayed at CES 2013 in Las Vegas and works by taking in weak 4G signals from a roof-mounted antenna, and sending it over a coax cable to the cradle where it is boosted using an amplifier. The signal is then transmitted to the device in the cradle using a built-in antenna. Reversing the process is how a boosted signal is sent from the device to the cell tower.
With the Sleek 4G, there is no need to suffer with weak 4G signals, dropped calls, or even "Dead Zones". It also offers faster data transfer rates and can help improve your battery life. For those who travel through lightly populated areas, this booster could literally be a life saver.

That's awesome! I'm wondering though if we travel outside of the us will it still think we're inside the us? I mean if it works in dead zones where there's no towers eliminating roaming, would it do the same for traveling outside?

I saw this for sale at walmart tonight already! & they had some other more expensive bigger device for boosting signals indoors.

As stupid as wireless charging.

Nice. I'm not sure if I live in some imperceptible valley where all line of sight to the nearest cell tower is blocked or if my house is just made out of some incredibly dense material, but once inside my average -90dBm signal just drops and I may as well have my phone in airplane mode. Which I tend to do anyhow since it will just keep chewing at the battery constantly searching.
Something like this would be nice so I can actually have a phone again, since I've forgone house phones in lieu of a cell. Does suck that work would be able to reach me at home again though.

Roscuthiii, a better solution would be a femtocell device which uses your Internet for better service but also allows more than one device to be connected to it.

"The Sleek 4G works with the 4G networks on all U.S. carriers except WiMAX."
Let's be honest, did anyone ever consider that crap that Sprint was peddling for a while 4G, anyway? I think not.
