Wilson’s cellular signal booster nominated in the Communications category

ST. GEORGE, Utah--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Wilson Electronics (www.WilsonElectronics.com), manufacturer of North America’s top-selling line of cell phone signal boosters, announced that the company’s newest mobile cell phone signal booster, the Sleek, was a finalist in the 2010 Law Enforcement Innovations Awards.

“It’s truly an honor for the Sleek to be recognized by the law enforcement community for our efforts, and we’re humbled to provide a beneficial service to help them in their work.”

The Sleek significantly improves the performance of cellular devices by reducing dropped calls and disconnects. Nominated in the Communications category, the Sleek was praised for its “compact form factor and affordable price point.”

With an MSRP of $129.95, the Sleek is Wilson’s most compact and affordable signal booster, and according to Joe Banos, COO of Wilson Electronics, it doesn’t give up any performance at that value.

“We designed the Sleek to be budget friendly while still providing all of the benefits our boosters are known for,” Banos said. “It’s truly an honor for the Sleek to be recognized by the law enforcement community for our efforts, and we’re humbled to provide a beneficial service to help them in their work.”

Recently, the Yavapai County Sheriff’s Office (YCSO) discussed the benefits they receive by using Wilson signal boosters, mentioning that with the devices deputies can now use on-board computers and cellular modems in extremely rural areas. The boosters allow the officers to file reports directly from their patrol vehicles, work more efficiently, cut down on travel time, and reduce deputies’ response times.

The Law Enforcement Innovations Awards recognizes outstanding companies whose products respond to law enforcement market challenges with creativity and innovation.
