5BARz Road Warrior

Here’s another idea whose day has finally come: the first consumer-ready, portable plug-and-play cell signal booster.

The device can be used anywhere that power is available, including cars and hotel rooms. And unlike conventional, professional-grade cell phone boosters, the 5BARz Road Warrior requires no installation, external cables or antennas. $299.
