TECHNOLOGY  Have a Fob or Iphone E-key adapter?

You may want to know this.. 

A strong signal from your wireless provider is not necessary

when accessing a Supra Keybox. The E-Key App is hard drive driven,

and as long as you have successfully obtained an update code

recently the strength of your signal does not affect your ability to 

obtain a key, or release a shackle.
