weBoost for Business: The Newest Cell Signal Product Lineup Is Here
Wilson Electronics Announces weBoost for Business
SALT LAKE CITY – July 20, 2021— Wilson Electronics, the industry leader in cellular signal booster technology, today announced a new cellular signal booster product line for small- and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) — weBoost for Business. With best-in-class, commercial-grade boosters custom-designed to meet the unique needs of the more than 1 million SMBs in North America, weBoost for Business is the ideal solution for indoor businesses and fleets struggling to stay connected due to weak or nonexistent indoor cellular coverage.
More than 70% of commercial space in the U.S. is under 10,000 square feet and 30% of those buildings have limited or poor cellular signal. Featuring optional professional installation (U.S. only) and compatible with all mobile devices and wireless carriers in North America, the boosters allow users to enjoy better voice quality, fewer dropped calls, uninterrupted texts, and faster data streaming in any business, including small retailers, exercise studios, salons, law offices, and more.
“SMBs are the backbone of the economy and a major driver of growth. We are privileged to play a key role in supporting their integral services and offerings with the launch of weBoost for Business,” said Bruce Lancaster, CEO of Wilson Electronics. “As mobile devices become ubiquitous in both internal operations and the customer experience, weBoost for Business helps ensure seamless cellular connectivity for all business activities, whether in the office, a retail location, or a fleet vehicle.”
weBoost for Business will be the new home of weBoost’s fleet signal booster offerings, along with new indoor business products launched today: weBoost Office 200 and weBoost Office 100. With an industry-leading warranty of three years — one year longer than weBoost’s standard 2-year consumer warranty — and high-performing amplifiers, antennas and cables to provide maximum coverage for any SMB use case, weBoost is providing a commercial-quality solution with the added flexibility needed to support the diverse requirements inherent to SMB operations.
weBoost Office 100
An entry level booster system for small office and business spaces, weBoost Office 100 takes the strengths of weBoost’s leading commercial booster — WilsonPro Pro70 Plus — and builds it out even further with an easy-to-install external omnidirectional antenna and high-performing indoor dome antenna that work together to provide an uplink power of 24 dBm that blows away the competition.
weBoost Office 200
weBoost Office 200 is a top-of-the-line amplifier perfect for all small offices and businesses. Building upon the Office 100 with the addition of a lower-profile indoor dome antenna and the strongest booster in the weBoost for Business lineup, the Office 200 boasts up to twice the coverage area of the Office 100.
Its built-in, configurable touch screen panel enables on the spot troubleshooting to simplify performance management, and its 25 dBm uplink power provides double the signal power of any other consumer or small business amplifier on the market besides the Office 100. It is the ideal fit for larger offices and those with mission-critical operations that need the best-in-class cellular signal stability the Office 200 provides.
weBoost Installed | Office 200
weBoost Installed | Office 200 builds upon the Office 200 by adding a second indoor antenna and professional installation anywhere in the U.S. Upon purchase, business owners will be given the opportunity to schedule a convenient, two-hour installation window as soon as the next day.
Taking out all the guesswork and maximizing the potential of the product, professional installers ensure SMBs will see an immediate improvement in cellular signal after installation with before and after signal readings provided for guaranteed customer satisfaction.
How weBoost for Business Works
How the boosters work: The powerful outside antenna reaches out to cell phone towers to receive a signal. The antenna then transmits this signal to the booster. The booster receives this outside signal and amplifies each of the supported frequency bands simultaneously for all carriers throughout the space using a series of sophisticated onboard software, low noise amplifiers and filters, along with its inside antenna. The device utilizes this stronger signal as calls and data are transmitted back through the booster to the cellular network.
Certified by the FCC and ISED and pre-approved by all carriers, the weBoost for Business product lineup can now be accessed at authorized partner resellers. The only cellular booster company that designs, assembles and tests its products solely in the U.S., all weBoost for Business cellular signal boosters feature a three-year manufacturer’s warranty and a 30-day money-back guarantee.
Product details for the weBoost for Business product line can be found on the Wilson Electronics Partner Portal.

Siemon’s Brian Celella Awarded Prestigious ANSI Edward Lohse Information Technology Medal
Watertown, CT — Siemon, a leading global network infrastructure specialist, is pleased to announce that Brian Celella, Principle Electrical Engineer at Siemon Labs, has been named the American National Standards Institute’s (ANSI) 2020-2021 Edward Lohse Information Technology Medal winner.
Awarded by the ANSI Board of Directors, the Edward Lohse Information Technology Medal honors an individual who has participated in the development of information technology standards both at the national and international levels, demonstrated leadership in the promotion of such standards within the information technology standards community and fostered cooperation among the bodies involved in global standardization.
Celella joined Siemon in 1998 as an Electrical Engineer, where he has played a key role in new product development and test methodology advancements, primarily focused on connector design and optimization of system channel performance. Through these efforts, Celella has contributed to 7 Siemon patents and driven a wide array of key product innovations.
But as impressive as his work at Siemon has been, it is his work on behalf of the structured cabling industry as a whole that earned him this prestigious ANSI award. Through his diligent standards work with the International Organization for Standardization/International Electrotechnical Commission (ISO/IEC) and the Telecommunications Industry Association
(TIA), Celella has helped to define Category 6, 6A, 7A, and Category 8. In over two decades as a member of the TIA, he has prepared and presented 34 contributions to the TIA TR-42.7 Subcommittee – the key Standards group developing telecommunications copper cabling component and system requirements for premises networks. Celella is the current TR-42.7 Vice-Chair, and has previously held leadership positions as chair of several TR-42.7 task groups including connecting hardware transverse conversion loss and, Category 8 cable and connecting hardware specifications.
Celella’s influence also reaches well beyond TIA. He has been a member of ISO/IEC JTC1 SC25 WG3 group responsible for standardization of cabling systems for customer premises as well as the associated USTAG for over a decade. He was the Project leader for the third edition of the ISO/IEC 11801 document series specifying structured copper and optical fiber cabling systems. Brian is also an active member of IEC SC46C working to develop the next generation of copper cabling requirements.
In recognizing his deep dedication and contributions to developing technologies and standards that ensure IT network interoperability, security and reliability for all, this award places Celella among the industry’s most recognized and inspiring leaders.
“Brian’s imprint can truly be seen across our entire industry,” explained John Siemon, Chief Technical Officer and VP of Operations at The Siemon Company. “In addition to his considerable technical expertise, Brian has a unique ability to bring people together in developing standards that represent the best our industry has to offer. His calm and patient approach to resolving seemingly intractable technical debates encourages innovation and consensus around ‘win-win’ solutions that transform ideas and proposals to international standards. As much as his dedication and expertise has shaped so many successful Siemon product and system innovations, it is our industry that benefits most from his efforts. As someone who has the privilege of working with Brian over the past 23 years, I cannot think of a more deserving recipient”.
