The Cell Phone Signal Issue: - 69% of users experience poor quality or loss of signal strength when using a cell phone in their office or home. 62% claim to have done something special in order to make or receive a call. (According to a recent survey – Harris Interactive)*
- This loss of coverage may be due to environmental obstructions, building materials, metal roofs, high-speed data (reduces coverage) and network interference.
- New applications such as email, text messaging, picture mail, Internet browsing or downloading require a stronger signal.
- Globally, many countries rely more heavily on their mobile phones, due to a lack of land-line infrastructure.

* About the zBoost Cell Phone Signal Survey
