If you’re one who is always in need for a cellphone tower to keep in touch with your family and business associates, this ultraportable antenna looks set to be your best bet. Shaped after a giant beach ball, this inflatable antenna offers a strong broadband satellite connection almost anywhere and works great especially for those in the disaster-recovery field. It weighs 70 pounds but can be considered light when compared to other alternatives. The ball has a maximum diameter of 8 feet and is made from sturdy, flexible plastic lined with conductive mesh. At $50,000 a pop, you’d better be damn important to your company for your boss to approve the purchase of one.
