“If you find yourself cursing your cellular provider for the lack of cell signal, remember that it just might be the fault of your car or building’s construction materials or even that leafy tree to your right.

However, there is something the average consumer can do to reduce both 4G and 5G dead zones: install cellular signal boosters in their homes and vehicles. Cellular signal boosters from providers like Wilson Electronics and their consumer line, weBoost, capture existing outdoor signal, transmit it to the booster, and then amplify the cellular signal throughout indoor spaces so that dead zones are a thing of the past. For commercial businesses and buildings, there are cell signal amplifier solutions from Wilson Electronics’ commercial-grade brand, WilsonPro, that can improve cellular signal for entire office buildings, apartment buildings and other large spaces.”

See Fluke Networks 25 year of innovation

Keating Technologies and Fluke Network partner together at the BISCI Canadian Conference & Exhibition 2017 on May 8 -11, at the Vancouver Convention Centre. BISCI is the worldwide association for cabling design and installation professionals and the conference which takes place every other year is for all types of individuals in the information and communications technology community.

On the Monday prior to the event the Keating and Fluke team invited a dozen Fluke Networks customers to Fluke Park in Everett, Washington to visit Fluke Networks headquarters. This was a great opportunity for the customers to meet Fluke Networks management, product developers and the technical assistance service group they interact with, and for them to ask questions and make recommendations on the products they use.
