How to Choose the Right Antennas for Your Booster
Outside Antennas:
- Yagi Directional Antenna: This antenna is more powerful because it focuses on sending and receiving signals in one direction. It works best when there are no major obstacles blocking its path to the cell tower. It's not ideal for areas with large obstructions like hills or buildings.
- Omni Antenna: This antenna sends and receives in all directions, so it's better for hilly areas or if you need to support multiple carriers with towers in different directions. It doesn’t need to be aimed, but it also isn’t as strong as the Yagi antenna.
- High Gain LPDA Antenna: Perfect for areas with very weak signals, this antenna significantly boosts signal strength. It needs a clear line of sight to the cell tower and requires a sturdy mount because of its size.
Inside Antennas:
- Panel Antenna: Can be placed on walls or ceilings and directs the signal towards a specific area. This antenna is great for homes and tall ceilings in buildings.
- Standard Dome Antenna: Designed to mounted on the ceiling, this antenna spreads the signal evenly throughout the area. It's best suited for drop ceilings or spaces where cables can be run above the ceiling.
- Ultra-Thin Dome Antenna: This slim antenna also mounts to the ceiling, but is much is less noticeable. It's much stronger than a standard dome antenna, making it a great choice for places where both looks and signal strength are important.
Tips for Choosing:
- Choose Omni Antennas for general coverage with no aiming required.
- Choose Directional Antennas (Yagi or LPDA) when you can point directly at a cell tower and need stronger signal and more inside coverage.
- Interior Size Considerations: One antenna per 750-1,500 sq ft in homes, or 1,500-2,500 sq ft in open spaces like offices and warehouses.
Product Information
Product Information
The weBoost 477154 Drive Reach OTR Mobile Signal Booster Kit (formerly SKU 472154) has the most powerful uplink and downlink of any weBoost vehicle booster on the market. This means the weBoost Drive Reach OTR booster will provide the largest possible area of boosted signal inside of your truck or vehicle, but more importantly, it has the strongest boosting back to the cell towers, so you can be up to 2x further from the cell towers than the previous model, the Drive 4G-X OTR, and still have reliable calls & fast data speeds.
The weBoost Drive Reach OTR boosts the 2G, 3G, 4G HSPA+, 4G LTE, and 5G networks from the major carriers in the United States and Canada, so you get fewer dropped calls, reliable text messages, and the fastest download speeds possible. The weBoost Drive Reach OTR broadcasts boosted signal wirelessly to your phone so it can support multiple phones and data devices simultaneously.
Inside Coverage Area
The weBoost 472154 Drive Reach OTR's inside coverage area will depend on your existing outside signal strength. In areas where you have a moderate existing outside signal, the Drive Reach will fill a normal vehicle with boosted coverage. As the outside signal gets weaker, the inside coverage area will shrink, until you may have to keep your phone within about 18 inches from the inside antenna in order to take advantage of the boosted signal.
Supported Carriers
The weBoost Drive Reach OTR Signal Booster Kit supports the voice, 3G, 4G LTE, and 5G networks from the major carriers in the United States and Canada. For other locations, please consult the frequencies listed below to see if this product will work for you.
- AT&T 2G, 3G, 4G HSPA+, 4G LTE & 5G
- Verizon 2G, 3G, 4G LTE & 5G
- Sprint 2G, 3G & 4G LTE
- T-Mobile 2G, 3G, 4G HSPA+ & 4G LTE
- US Cellular 2G, 3G & 4G LTE
- All other carriers using 700 MHz, 800 MHz, 1900 MHz, and AWS 1700/2100 MHz frequencies
Please Note: This signal booster kit will not work in most European, Asian, and African countries because the frequencies used there are different than those boosted by this equipment.

Installation Overview
Installing the weBoost Drive Reach OTR Signal Booster kit is very easy and can usually be done in just a few minutes.
- To start, assemble the Trucker Antenna to the size and configuration that you prefer, and mount to the truck with one of the many different mounting options.
- Run the 14' antenna cable into the cab, connect the SMB cable adapter, and then attach to the amplifier's Outside Antenna port.
- To the inside, connect the inside antenna cable that is attached to the slim low-profile inside antenna.
- Locate the inside antenna near where you'll typically be using the phone, for example, in the center console or on the side of the driver's seat. Ensure that the cables and amplifier won't be damaged if the seats are adjusted. Keep inside antenna at least 8 inches from any person and approximately 18 inches from where you typically use your phone.
- Connect the DC power adapter to the amplifier and plug in to immediately start receiving boosted signal.
