Looks like a minuture version of a cellphone signal repeater. We used the big ones to get cell reception in a basement at my last job. THOSE worked very well. No idea about something like this.
Notice it was marked out of stock and "This product is not available for purchase at this time." Wonder if they had issues with them?
