Freedom Blade cell antenna boosts your bars

AttwirelesssignalI'm pretty lucky in terms of EV-DO and cellular coverage throughout the region where I work and live. Still, there are times when I'm in a building and the signal just can't get to me. Chris Leckness shows a YouTube video of the Freedom Blade Cellular Antenna booster and I was extremely impressed at the signal gain it offered him. Sitting in the middle of a brick building, he shows that he had "No Signal" for his HSDPA card on AT&T's service. A few seconds after he attached the Freedom Blade: four bars out of five as shown from my screen cap.

For around $50, this could be a must-have for folks that use cell phones for data or voice in a location where their signal gets blocked. It looks light and small enough to carry around all of the time and includes a handy little base so you stand the unit up. Sweet!

Thanks Kevin for picking this up. Let me tell you... It's GRRRRREAT. It is very lightweight and would be hardly noticeable in a gearbag or laptop case.

Thanks for sharing this one, looks like a good addition for better coverage for aircard users. Heading over to pick one up already!

thanks you
