RCA Cell Docking System

Why does it only works on GSM?
This could be the answer to Poor Home Reception.

Better Phone Reception and a Place to Dock, Too
By IAN AUSTEN
For people who want to use their cellphones in apartments and houses as replacements for landline phones, reception can be a problem. Decent reception may be found in only one room or be available only when the user stands near a window.

The RCA Cell Docking System aims to solve that problem. The system, which costs $150 (model number 23200RE3), consists of a docking station for a cellphone and a separate base with a cordless phone. It accepts about 60 different cellphones (a full list can be found at www.rca.com) and integrates them into existing household phone wiring.

RCA suggests that the dock be placed in an area with good cellphone reception. Users can then make calls out to the wireless network through the cordless phone, which is much less prone to indoor signal failure. Additional cordless handsets cost $70.

For those who also have a traditional home phone, buttons on the handsets allow callers to send or receive their calls through either cellular or landline service. As a bonus, by giving cellphones a fixed resting place, the docking station may eliminate the frustration of misplaced handsets. IAN AUSTEN

Stuff like this has been around for quite a while. We used to sell a model called the Extensis for the Nokia 51xx series. We've been stocking a model for about 6 months that is compatible with almost any Moto phone.

My personal favorites are Telular Products. It's a fixed base solution. You can mount it in your attic and run an external antenna outside. They can be equipped with 3 watt boosters and they interface directly with the home wiring. We install alot of these for backup on security systems.

What company is Bluegrass buying Telular from? I am with GetWireless, and we are the largest distributor of Telular in North America. I would like an opportunity to begin selling these to your company.
