LTE+voice and all band amplifiers yet?

[John Wetter]

Hi Everyone,
I've been really looking to get an amplifier for my new setup including LTE data with Verizon. The problem is most amps I've seen are solely for the Verizon 700mhz band, or for everything but 700mhz. The only 'all bands, all modes' amps I've found are big ones meant for covering an office, etc.

Does anyone know of anything else coming? Is Gordon still frequenting the forum? Maximum Signal still has 'coming soon' for their LTE amp.

This is my main planned purchase for this year so I'm hoping to have some options before May!

maximum signal is still waiting on final FCC approval for the 4G/LTE signal boost amps.

Thanks for the Support . We are really trying. The FCC is doing it's best to run us out of business it seems . We passed all the tests set forth . The application for our Grants ( licenses to produce ) were submitted over 6 months ago . The FCC kept changing the rules. They just figured out how the are going to test again even though we passed all testing procedures they have outlined . We do not have the deep pockets others have . The FCC has now backed off some of their rules so our deep pocketed competitors can pass the new standards . They are now allowing user adjustable pods , so they can pass interference standards . They stated originally there would be no user adjustable controls and units must adjust to proper levels automatically. Ours do . No one else could make it work ! We all know 99% of end users will turn the amplifiers all the way up and not care what effects that has on others as long as they are connected. Me and my partner are out over 2 million at this point in R& D and testing . All our own money . But that is my problem. All I can ask is for people to be patient . The only bright side is no other units that have real power are not being approved for any manufacturer . I am sorry I have not been around more . I have kept a low profile as I just don't have any answers at this point . How much units will cost , when they will be available etc. It is totally out of our hands and in the FCC hands at this point .It just feels terrible playing by all the rules and getting screwed over by the powers that be.

Thanks

Gord

Thanks for the update Gordon and you have my support as well on this!

I appreciate the reply Gordon! I'll be waiting to see it! I agree, I don't want a unit that has manual adjustments, technology is supposed to take care of that for me! I've seen a couple out there and they all have dials... Knowing a bit about how it all works, I would know not to just crank everything, especially in a metro area, but others probably don't. I'll be eagerly awaiting your product!

Is Verizon still booting folks off their network who use amplifiers? I had a big problem with that starting a few years ago so I bypassed the amp and never had another problem.

Just bad amplifiers , We have always worked with the carriers in the design of all our products . In fact our new products already have carrier approval . Just waiting for FCC approval.

Good to know. This was a Digital Antenna amplifier that I bought in 2004 for way too much $$
