We will have to see whether this kind of technical leadership converts into swift mass-market adoption or not.
Wi-Ex (www.wi-ex.com),
the leading provider of consumer cell phone signal boosters, is proud to
recognize one of its top dealers for their disaster recovery work in
Haiti. Ari Zoldan, CEO of Quantum Networks, LLC (www.Quantum-Wireless.com),
traveled to Haiti in January as a communications specialist volunteer
and used Wi-Ex's zBoost Dual Band to help strengthen signal in the area
and keep those affected by the disaster connected to the outside world.
"Based on my volunteering experience in third-world countries including
Haiti, companies such as Wi-Ex can add significant value to disaster
relief situations. During my stay in Haiti we were off the grid so we
were able to use a wind turbine to power the device and seamlessly have
signal allowing connectivity to both voice and data. I left the zBoost
installed so that the residents of that area can stay connected to the
outside world during this difficult time," said Zoldan. "After seeing
the zBoost at work in a real life crisis situation, I can see how the
product can be utilized in other parts of the world during disasters and
emergencies."
Wi-Ex
provides disaster management officials with solutions to help boost cell
phone signal in areas of weak service for personal and public safety
issues including disaster areas, campuses, health care facilities,
safety and emergency vehicles, and public parking decks.
"We were pleased to be able to help Ari on his mission in Haiti.
Consumers all over the world rely on their cell phones as an essential
communications tool. This was clearly demonstrated in the recent
disasters in Haiti and Chile. The mobile user in developing countries
rely on their mobile phone as their portal to the world, and without
that signal they are isolated from communicating with the outside
world,” said Lloyd R. Meese, CEO of Wi-Ex.
