There are over 150,000 cell towers across the United States. They’re on top of buildings, in residential areas, and probably in some vast expanses where only buffalo roam; yet with all of these massive beacons of reception blasting their signals across populated and not-so-populated regions, you still alternate between one and zero bars the second you enter your apartment.

To the signal-hungry consumer such as yourself, the answer might be as simple as more towers with further reach; but adding more juice to fix your reception squeeze is not a proposition that is met with sugary-sweet disposition by everyone.

Most new cell phone towers require the approval of the communities where they hope to be erected. Much to the chagrin of providers, many of these towers are greeted with hostility. Believe it or not, our sky-scraping wireless helpers are sometimes viewed as eyesores by many a community looking to remain aesthetically pleasant. And even still, citizens of other less breathtaking areas point to a selfish desire to remain cancer-free over being able to tweet the contents of their lunch from the dark recesses of the break room at the local blood diamond mine via a rock solid 3G (2G, CDMA, GSM, etc.) network.

From New Hampshire to the Bay Area, the message of the opposition rings clear: health and nature: good, suffering and big metal things: bad. We get it and we really can’t say we disagree. True, we wish our signal wasn’t so poor each time we walked between the love seat and the coffee table, but tumors are exponentially worse than a few dropped calls.

When it comes to carriers vs. communities there is no simple solution. You can get in the trenches and fight on the side of the company that is charging you an arm and a leg for your data plan, or you can take matters into your own hands and fix your signal yourself.

For those who think the latter sounds a whole lot more attractive there’s the Wi-ex zBoost YX510 Dual-Band Cellular Signal Booster. Solve your reception problems with a device that brings your bar situation from desperate to delightful. Whether your phone operates on a 800 or 1900 MHz frequency, if you’ve got a home or office space of up to 2500 sq ft that needs boosting, the YX510 has got you covered.
 

Many people that research cell signal boosters look at the YX500-CEL and YX500-PCS units as a solution for their weak cell signal. What they don’t realize is that these units work specifically for one frequency used by the telecom companies.

The zBoost YX500-CEL boosts the cellular signal on the 800MHz frequency. AT&T and Verizon Wireless utilize this frequency. The zBoost Wi-Ex YX500-PCS boosts signal on the 1900MHz frequency. Sprint and T-Mobile use these frequencies for voice and data.

When you need to boost both frequencies, zBoost Wi-Ex YX510 works on both the 800MHz and 1900MHz. It’s a great booster that covers up to 2500 square feet. It comes with an outdoor antenna that’s simple to mount. Put in the location where you get the best cell coverage, either outside on your roof or in the attic where there’s a signal to boost.  Lay out the accompanying cable to the amplifier located in the area where you want the most increased signal,

It works best when you’re trying to boost 3-4 bars from outside and bring the signal inside to where you initially didn’t have any bars. The zBoost Wi-Ex YX510 provides an instant signal boost when you set up the antenna and connect the amplifier correctly. You must mount the antenna away from metal. Metal interferes with the antenna signal from the cellular tower.

If you need more from you zBoost Wi-Ex YX-510, there are upgradeable antennas available that do a better job of bringing in the signal from the cell phone tower. The YX039 is designed specifically for the YX-510 because it’s a dual band outdoor antenna.

Check WirelessAdvisor.com to see which frequency is used by which carrier. If it says 800MHz and 1900MHz, you need the dual band zBoost Wi-Ex YX510 signal booster because your carrier works on both bands.

Stop running to the window or going outside to talk on your cell phone – many wireless users suffer form cell phone signal strength loss when using a cell phone in their home or office. zBoost repeats and amplifies the signal and is frequency dependent.
