Personal Cellphone Towers

The CellSpot Provides Individual T-Mobile Service to Every Home

— November 3, 2015 — Tech
T-Mobile service is expanding exponentially with the T-Mobile CellSpot, a miniature cell tower that goes right in homes and offices.

T-Mobile has previously had problems with customers complaining about "dead zones," areas where T-Mobile service isn't available. To solve this problem, T-Mobile has introduced an innovative device that can broadcast cell reception directly into homes and workplaces. The T-Mobile CellSpot simply has to be connected to an Internet router. Then it can provide LTE 4G T-Mobile service to an area of 3,000 square feet, supporting up to 16 calls at a time.

The device is an obtrusive cube which measures less than a foot tall, meaning that it will blend right in with users' other modems and routers. The T-Mobile CellSpot is available to pay-after T-Mobile customers at no additional cost.
Trend Themes
1. Miniature Cell Towers - The T-Mobile CellSpot is a disruptive innovation that brings personal cellphone towers into homes and offices, solving the problem of 'dead zones'.
2. Expanded Cell Service - T-Mobile's CellSpot enables the expansion of their LTE 4G service into areas where coverage was previously limited, offering more reliable cell service to customers.
3. Internet-connected Devices - The T-Mobile CellSpot taps into the trend of internet-connected devices, providing seamless connection and improved cell service through the integration of cell towers with home routers.
Industry Implications
1. Telecommunications - The T-Mobile CellSpot disrupts the telecommunications industry by revolutionizing the way customer cell coverage is extended into homes and offices.
2. Internet of Things - The integration of the T-Mobile CellSpot with home routers taps into the Internet of Things industry, as more and more devices become interconnected and enhance functionality.
3. Wireless Networking - The T-Mobile CellSpot offers disruptive innovation in the wireless networking industry by improving cell service coverage through the use of miniature cell towers.
