Wilson Electronics (www.WilsonElectronics.com), manufacturer of North America’s top-selling line of cell phone signal boosters, announced that the company’s latest cell phone signal booster release - the Sleek™ – has been honored by the judges of the 2010 Mobile Merit Awards.

It was named runner-up to Novatel Wireless’ MiFi mobile WiFI hotspot in the Mobile Connected Device, Non-gadget division of the Gadgets/Handsets/Devices category.

The Sleek has drawn rave reviews since it was announced at the Consumer Electronics Show earlier this year. Designed for use in a vehicle, or with an optional accessory package in the home or office, the Sleek is now available for purchase at electronics retailers with a manufacturer’s suggested retail price of $129.95.

“The Sleek is the smallest and most affordable signal booster Wilson has ever produced,” said Joe Banos, Wilson Electronics COO. “But the best part is that we did not compromise on features. The Sleek incorporates the same performance and benefits that Wilson Electronics is known for, but at a price anyone can afford. We’re honored that the Mobile Merit Awards has recognized the Sleek for its accomplishments in the industry.”

In its inaugural year, the Mobile Merit Awards were judged by industry executives, members of the media, and consultants including Tracy Ford, editor of RCR Wireless News; Lynnette Luna, editor for Fierce Wireless; Michelle Sklar, producer at bNetTV; Scott Erickson, consultant and mobile industry expert, and more.
