The newly announced zBoost Metro has been optimized for use with the iPhone and allows users to benefit from their iPhone's voice, data and Internet services, including 3G high-speed data and apps.

 

Showcased at the CEA Line Show and Pepcom Digital Experience, the zBoost Metro includes a $15 apps gift card and a zBoost Your Business Application Guide. Both these offerings deliver an ideal zBoost bundle for Apple (News - Alert) users.

It boosts indoor signal for multiple users operating any mobile device that operates on the 800 and 1900MHz frequencies including AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon Wireless (News - Alert), and Sprint.
