CelLynx 5BARz Road Warrior Cell Phone Booster

Conclusion

We really enjoyed testing something slightly outside PC hardware and the 5BARz Road Warrior does exactly what it promised, albeit in my own extreme case I needed to install an external antenna on my roof to get consistently excellent reception inside my house.  Although the Road Warrior is a unique product and an excellent value, it is not an inexpensive unit, so naturally we want to look at the guarantee and return policy.  The unit itself is warrantied for a year.

5BARz Guarantee

5BARZ Road Warrior turns dread zones into productivity zones keeping you connected to the people, data, and information you need most. The 5BARz Road Warrior has been tested by an independent laboratory and approved by the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Our patent-pending 5BARz technology requires no outside antennas or cables. Just plug in and talk on.

As long as your carrier’s coverage map doesn’t state “no service” in your area, they guarantee 5BARz Road Warrior will improve signal strength in your vehicle and indoors. The ability to make calls indoors is dependent upon both the construction materials and location within the structure. If you purchase the 5BARz Road Warrior and are still unable to achieve 5BARz of connectivity, contact CelLynx support for additional direction or to authorize the return of the unit to the place of purchase.

The 5BARz Road Warrior is compatible with every carrier in the US and Canada except “iDEN” phones used by Nextel, Southern LINC, MiKE (Canada); 3G TMobile’s 3G services (TMobile’s voice service is compatible) and WiMax

CelLynx is a small public company of helpful and dedicated employees that provide excellent service and support for their product.  They are also currently working to secure financing to rollout a business or household device later this year that will bring the boosting capabilities of the Road Warrior to the entire home or office.  You will no longer be tethered to your cradle or to within a few inches of it.

The recently available 5BARz Road Warrior is a great product and it works as advertised.  The CelLynx employees also stand ready to assist you to troubleshoot your product if needed and if your home or work is somehow in even a worse reception area than mine, and it cannot work to your satisfaction, there is a satisfaction guarantee with your money cheerfully refunded.

After 30 days of testing and use, we can conclude that the 5BARz unit is a highly reliable and a powerful device for recreating a stronger cell signal and giving its user much better reception than without it. The Road Warrior unit retails for $299 with a one year warranty and an optional magnetic mount exterior antenna available for an additional $39.  From checking online pricing suggests that you can get it for as little as $200 after a fifty dollar mail-in rebate.  It is a real bargain if you suffer from poor cell phone reception or you use your car as an office.

We love it!  We liked the 5BARz Road Warrior so much that we made arrangements to buy the evaluation unit from CelLynx!!  It is an excellent product that does exactly what it promises in even the most extreme “dreadzone”.  As a unique product that fills an important need, the Road Warrior is deserving of our ABT “Innovation” and “Editor’s Choice” awards.  If we are going to nitpick it, the phone dock/cradle stand is a bit unstable (and has already been improved!) and the tether from the unit to the dock could have been made a little longer.  We had no major issues or irritations with it once we put an external antenna on our roof.

Highly recommended!
