Connected Consumers

According to the annual zBoost State of the Signal Survey commissioned by Wi-Ex and conducted online by Harris Interactive in April 2011, 65 percent of online cell phone/smartphone owners experience problems with their cell phone or smartphone service including dropped calls or data, poor reception or dead zones in their home or poor signal reception or dead zones at work. In addition and important to iPhone and iPad users, 58 percent of online cell phone/smartphone owners who use data functions have experienced problems with service while using data functions including slow transmission of data (38 percent), poor signal/dead zone in home (23 percent) and poor signal/dead zone at work (20 percent.)

"Consumer reliance on iPhones, iPads and other smartphone and connected devices is increasing rapidly, making a strong cell phone signal indoors even more important. Who wants a device you can only use half the time because you don't have a strong in-door signal," added Cuppett. "We are constantly looking at the needs and digital lifestyles of our customers so we can provide them with a zBoost solution to fit their needs."

Tablet Techie - It is estimated that nearly 70 million media tablets will be shipped in 2011 and they are being used as a personal device as well as an enterprise tool that enables users to stay on top of work after hours and during down time.

Smartphone Savvy - The smartphone is a staple in today's hyperconnected world and by the end of 2011 it is expected that half of Americans will use a smartphone. A third of Americans use these digital Swiss Army knives to keep up with their schedules, check personal and work emails, the weather and stay connected on Facebook and Twitter.

iFamily - Today's families are more connected than ever before with moms leading the adoption of smartphones to check weather, stay connected to the family and manage their schedules at home and on the go. The zBoost State of the Signal Survey found that 54 percent of online cell phone/smartphone owners have used their cell phone or smartphone to stay connected to others in the home by calling or texting others who are in the home at the same time.

iWorker - The zBoost survey also revealed that 55 percent of online teleworkers1 who use a smartphone/cell phone for teleworking experience problems with their service while teleworking including poor signal, dead zones or dropped calls. Cell phones/smartphone can be essential communication tools for teleworkers and when they don't get signal, it can make even more work.
