Wilson Electronics issues statement on FCC’s issuance of an NPRM in regard to cell phone signal boosters

ST. GEORGE, USA: “Wilson Electronics commends the FCC and its Commissioners for its issuance of a Notice of Proposed Rule Making (NPRM), which will gather industry suggestions as to what specifications cellular signal boosters should meet in order to obtain FCC certification. Today's action ensures that cellular signal boosters can continue to benefit consumers in underserved areas and help public safety officials in their jobs.

“We are pleased the FCC agrees that new standards for signal boosters are needed. We are hopeful that as the rulemaking process proceeds, the Commission will adopt the standards proposed by Wilson in 2009 to protect consumers from poorly designed boosters that can interfere with cellular service and damage service provider networks.

“We're also hopeful that the NPRM process can bring Wilson Electronics and the cellular service providers to the table to discuss what needs to be accomplished on a practical technical level. This would ensure that signal boosters can continue to provide individual and commercial users, as well as government and Public Safety officials, with a valuable tool that allows them to use their cellular devices in more places, with no risk of interference to providers’ cell sites.”
