Reach79, a case that promises to improve the coverage of the iPhone 6

At CES 2015 many accessories for the iPhone 6 are being presented, there are something for all tastes but I was struck by the Reach79 case that promises to improve iPhone 6 coverage. Is it true what they promise?

Reach79 engineers have manufactured a thin antenna inside a rectangular sheet that is able to work together with that of the iPhone 6, improving the intensity of the signal that the terminal receives. The Manufacturer information of this accessory they announce a quite drastic change that is summarized in:

• Una average improvement in coverage of 1,6 times, being able to duplicate the received signal in the best of cases.
• Higher browsing speed: by having better coverage, obviously, we will be able to navigate at a higher speed.
• Better coverage in difficult areas: We have all been to some town or mountainous area where we hardly have coverage, therefore, Reach79 promises improvements in coverage in these areas.
• More battery: If the coverage is good, the antennas of the iPhone 6 reduce their intensity of work and minimize battery consumption.

All the above points they are direct and real benefits In addition to having an improvement in coverage, what remains to be seen is whether this case promises improvements as drastic as it seems. The system raises doubts in my mind and it may work, what's more, there are Pong brand covers on the market that work in a similar way and Wired itself certified that they fulfill what they promise.

It would be necessary to analyze under what conditions these results have been achieved, but in any case, everything is subject to the operator, location and environment, too many external factors plus many others at a technical level. We will have to wait for real studies to be done to see if its passive circuit is capable of redistributing the radiation from the antenna and improving the signal intensity as they claim.

In addition to the improvement in coverage, this case will also considerably protect the iPhone 6 thanks to its degree of protection MIL-STD 810G-516.6 that it promises withstand falls about two meters. If we unite both characteristics, we will surely obtain a perfect cover for those of us who usually visit the mountains as usual

If you find the Reach79 case interesting, you can buy it now by U.S. dollar 59,99 if you have an iPhone 6 or $ 69,99 if it is for an iPhone 6 Plus.
