Clear Voice

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A compact Clear Voice 800 cellular repeater operating on the 824 MHz to 894 MHz frequency band, including a directiona antenna, an amplifier and a monopole rebroadcast antenna.

Clear Voice is a registered trademark of Telecom Technologies, Inc. for their range of compact, home, office and commercial cellular repeaters (also known as cell boosters or bi-directional amplifiers). They currently produce models designed to operate in the US (a 824 MHz to 894 MHz model, a 1850 MHz - 1990 MHz model and a dual band model) and in the UK (an 1800 MHz and a 900 MHz model).

There is already a large market for cellular repeaters in Asia, where Clear Voice cellular repeaters are produced, so the Clear Voice product brings a wealth of experience (over 75 accumulated years in the telecommunications industry), quality and value to the rapidly emerging US market. The Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA) predicts that by 2007 the cellular repeater market will be worth over a billion dollars annually. This is due in part to the combination of poor network coverage in some parts of the US. Mainly in rural areas. And the large scale departure from the land-line system (for both economic and convenience reasons). The CTIA base this prediction on the fact that if current trends continue by 2007 30% of phone users in the US will be mobile only - more than 60 million lines. Combining this with the low population density (compared with Europe and Japan); the fact that only 41% of the US population is urban; the low cell site density; and the fact that the cell network is split into over ten major providers means that many people will have to use some method to improve their home signal.
