Verizon Wireless subscribers now have a new option for enhancing wireless coverage inside homes where location, geography or structural conditions interfere with reception. Verizon Wireless Network Extender - a “mini-cell site” manufactured by Samsung - is about the size of a wireless router box or small attaché case and routes Verizon Wireless calls through the home broadband Internet connection. Network Extender can provide coverage in an area of up to 5,000 square feet.


Network Extender is ideal for users who want to enhance the wireless signal when making voice calls, sending text/picture/video messages, accessing Mobile Web or accessing smartphone/BlackBerry data in situations that could include houses with structural barriers; basement rooms; or some remote, mountainous or hilly areas. Network Extender does not support EV-DO speeds and services that require it. Verizon Wireless’s subscribers, their Family SharePlan members can also use their current phones and calling plans to place calls using the Network Extender.

The Network Extender is available online, by phone or at select Verizon Wireless Communications Stores at $249.99.
