5BARz presents ROVR: The ultimate Wi-Fi router

The Tribune India recently reported that India’s mobile subscribers will reach almost a billion by 2020. The country, which has one of the largest populations in the world, has already zoomed past the United States as the second biggest market in smartphones. About 275 million devices are being actively used as of this year.

All these pose opportunities and challenges to telecommunications companies. These telcos, along with the government, have been receiving numerous complaints about cellphone service. Complaints include weak signals in too many dead zones, drop-off calls, and the absence of cellphone towers in residential areas.

One company is solving these problems. Leading California-based technology firm 5BARz International (OTC: BARZ) has brought powerful cellular and data access to remote areas, densely populated areas, and travelers perpetually in search of a strong cell signal. Its flagship product, the network extender, can jack up the cell signals of devices within 4,000 square feet. The portable plug-and-play device can strengthen the signals up to the maximum strength of five bars.

The rave reviews

The company has also gained significant headway in India. Its subsidiary, 5BARz India Private Ltd., has successfully partnered with A-list telcos to install the network extender in the homes and offices of their subscribers. A recent independent consumer survey commissioned by its 5BARz India. showed that the network extender received “rave reviews.”

On a scale of 1-10, with one as the lowest, respondents were asked to rate the network extender experience based on usability, effectiveness, design, ease of use and installation and portability. Consumers graded the device an amazing 9+ on effectiveness and the ease of use and installation. It scored a consistently high 8+ for the rest of the categories.

In addition to that, respondents noted how they didn’t know such an effective solution to their cellular signal problem exists. They only became aware when their telcos referred to it and deployed the network extender.

“Customers also mentioned how blind spots across the house were reduced and they were able to finally experience carrier grade signal quality post the deployment of the product. Further, several deployments made were at high-rises which have always been a challenge for a telco to address due to the inefficiency of many of the current solutions,” the company added in its press release.

The survey included Mumbai, Pune, Delhi, Jaipur, and Kota, with respondents inclusive of 30 percent “deployments at high-income households” and 60 percent at middle-income ones. They were also subscribers of the two largest Indian telcos.
