You know you’re supposed to make regular backups, yet you’re just not doing it. Why?
If it’s because you’re not wild about the idea of spending money on backup software, here’s good news: you don’t have to. There are plenty of full-featured backup utilities (for Windows, anyway) that don’t cost a dime.
Indeed, your only out-of-pocket expense should be a USB or network hard drive–a place to hold your precious data in case your primary drive goes belly-up.

| LTE = Long Term Evolution |
Long Term Evolution (LTE). It is a new radio platform technology that will allow carriers to give you higher wireless upload and download speeds currently between 5-12 mbps but expected to increase. Verizon Wireless, AT&T & MetroPCS in the United States and several worldwide LTE carriers began rolling out the new network in 2009. The world’s first publicly available LTE service was opened by TeliaSonera in the two Scandinavia in December of 2009.
LTE and is part of the GSM evolutionary path beyond 3G technology, following EDGE, UMTS, HSPA (HSDPA and HSUPA combined) and HSPA Evolution (HSPA+). LTE is a set of enhancements to the Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) which was introduced in 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) Release 8. HSPA Evolution is a stepping-stone of speeds to LTE for many carriers that will be rolled out slowly. Carriers began working on LTE in 2004 3GPP and initial deployment of LTE is targeted for 2010 and 2011. The objective of LTE is to provide a high performance radio access that offers good signal coverage in vehicles that are moving and that can coexist with HSPA and earlier networks. Carriers can scale bandwidth to migrate their networks and users from HSPA to LTE over time in areas that need it most.

Great testimonials are one of the best parts of any business. It’s so fulfilling to hear your product is the solution to a real problem, especially when it involves a small business. Wi-Ex received the following letter from Bruce Cramer, VP of Total Building Environments South (www.tbesouth.com), a facility automation systems integrator, that helps diverse facility/building control systems talk to each other.
We have a small company and I work out of my home. Just moved to a new (new to me) home and found that the Sprint (Virgin) coverage was just terrible in this part of Pinellas County Florida.
Barely got one bar and dropped almost every call. Looked on the Sprint coverage map and sure enough they do a really bad job in this area!
Searched on the web and at EBay for a booster device, found lots of stuff, mostly BS!
Finally found zBoost! Bought a supposedly used zBoost SOHO (YX545) from Amazon for $128! When received I was very surprised to find it looking brand new, in what appeared to be the original wrappers!
Took me about 20 minutes to install with the antenna on top a 20’ pole on the side of my single story house.
WOW, a 4 to 5 bar signal. It does vary down to 2 bars or so, but the reception is noticeably better and no dropped calls.
Thanks zBoost! This is a REAL product that REALLY works!
Thanks for a great product!
