Former Apple CEO Gil Amelio continues to campaign for new revolutionary product 5BARz

MIAMI - Aug. 11, 2016 - PRLog -- Former Apple CEO Gil Amelio is an iconic technology executive and investor, and an authority in his own right. Currently the board chairman of 5BARz International (http://5barz.com/), he has been actively campaigning for a revolutionary product called the network extender (http://5barz.com/product).

A leader of leaders

Amelio has a Bachelor's Degree, Master's Degree, and a Ph.D. in physics from the Georgia Institute of Technology. He started his stellar career as a member of the technical staff at Bell Labs' legendary Murray Hill in New Jersey.

Dr. Amelio was part of the AT&T Board of Directors for 18 years until he decided to assume a more hands-on role in executing 5BARz' accelerated growth strategy as Chairman of the Board. For more than 30 years, he has been at the helm of various leading technology companies. This includes his tenure as the CEO and Chairman of Apple Inc. He was also the President, CEO and Chairman of National Semiconductor, and the President of Rockwell Communication Systems, a unit of Rockwell International.

Proven track record

These companies enjoyed over US$9 billion increase in investor value after successful transformations Amelio implemented during his term. With 16 patents awarded to him and another one pending, he is also the co-author of three books, two of which were business best sellers. He has established a well-documented legacy of having identified and implemented key emerging technologies leading to significant increases in shareholder value at the companies he led.

His identification (http://www.engadget.com/2014/04/25/how-apple-eventually-d...) of Apple's problems and his proposed solutions had been the start of the success Apple is enjoying now. Apple, even under Steve Jobs' return, has delivered the vision of Amelio, making the company grow as one of the biggest in the tech industry. His broad base of experience, influence in the technology sector, and insightful guidance in developing technology companies is an important asset to organizations with which he is or has been associated.

Another leading technology

Amelio (https://youtu.be/4r06evnctTQ) believes that there are two mega trends in today's era—mobile communication and the internet—and that these two cause the growth of each other.



"One aspect of mobile communications that has not been adequately addressed is the fact that sometimes, people can't make their calls because they can't connect or they are in their car or elsewhere and they drop a call because of poor coverage," the former Apple CEO stated (https://youtu.be/4r06evnctTQ).

Addressing this problem, Amelio worked with the executive and technical team of 5BARz International to bring the 5BARz network extender,  the world's first, highly evolved, innovative, carrier-grade technology device that delivers vastly improved cellular signals, enhanced voice, data and video reception, and extended life on all cellular-equipped devices globally.

"It's a network extender product, and what it does is uses a very advanced semiconductor and electronics technology to pull those base station signals out of the noise, re-amplifies them, and broadcast them wherever you have this," he said.

"It's a little box. The installation is trivial: you just plug it in the wall and forget it. If you live in a home or office where you have lousy cell phone coverage, just plug the device in and you'll have five bars."

In charge of yet another revolutionary device and company, Amelio leads the tech industry once more in finding solutions to fundamental problems with cellular infrastructures.
