Unlike a similar model <a href=\"http:\/\/jkontherun.com\/2009\/03\/20\/mobile-tech-minutes-wilson-electronics-ibooster-for-iphone\/\">I tried last year<\/a>, this new version is less expensive, smaller and works with a wide range of phones and carriers. That&#8217;s all great on paper, but how does it actually perform? I use an iPhone to test the signal boost in this video and show how to put your iPhone into Field Test mode for a more accurate signal measurement method than counting bars.<\/p>\n<p>Although the Sleek is geared for automobile use, you could use the optional power adapter to gain a signal boost at home as well. Overall, I&#8217;m impressed with this $129 amplifier solution. Folks that travel in and out of coverage areas should definitely consider the Sleek due to it&#8217;s universal nature, multi-band frequency support and smaller size.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related research on GigaOM Pro (sub req\u2019d):<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/pro.gigaom.com\/2010\/02\/everybody-hertz-the-looming-spectrum-crisis\/\">Everybody Hertz: The Looming Spectrum Crisis<\/a><\/p>\n<p>  <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/gocomments\/jkontherun.wordpress.com\/58274\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/comments\/jkontherun.wordpress.com\/58274\/\" \/><\/a> <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/godelicious\/jkontherun.wordpress.com\/58274\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/delicious\/jkontherun.wordpress.com\/58274\/\" \/><\/a> <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/gostumble\/jkontherun.wordpress.com\/58274\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/stumble\/jkontherun.wordpress.com\/58274\/\" \/><\/a> <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/godigg\/jkontherun.wordpress.com\/58274\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/digg\/jkontherun.wordpress.com\/58274\/\" \/><\/a> <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/goreddit\/jkontherun.wordpress.com\/58274\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/reddit\/jkontherun.wordpress.com\/58274\/\" \/><\/a> <img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/stats.wordpress.com\/b.gif?host=jkontherun.com&#038;blog=4479943&#038;post=58274&#038;subd=jkontherun&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1\" \/><\/p>\n<div><a href=\"http:\/\/jkontherun.com\/2010\/02\/26\/cell-phone-signal-booster-review\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Sleek-Signal-Booster\" src=\"http:\/\/cdn.videos.wordpress.com\/l0Y9a3Ht\/sleek-signal-booster_std.original.jpg\" width=\"160\" height=\"120\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":670,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-365483","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mereja.media\/index\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/365483","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mereja.media\/index\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mereja.media\/index\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mereja.media\/index\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/670"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mereja.media\/index\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=365483"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mereja.media\/index\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/365483\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mereja.media\/index\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=365483"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mereja.media\/index\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=365483"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mereja.media\/index\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=365483"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
