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 Drive X RV (471410) signal booster kit is a great solution for anyone who needs better cell signal in their RV or large vehicle while it's moving or stopped. It includes a powerful, spring mount outside antenna, mobile signal amplifier, and a desktop inside antenna to broadcast the boosted signal to the part of the RV that needs it most. It will simultaneously boost all of the networks from all major carriers in the United States and Canada, so you'll get great voice calls, fast data, and uninterrupted text messages.
The weBoost Drive X RV is a great and affordable solution for RVers with weak to moderate outside signal, but if you plan to travel to areas that are very remote and need the most powerful solution on the market, then you'll want to look at the Drive Reach Extreme RV Kit, which has the industry-leading boosting both from and to the distant cell towers.
Inside Coverage Area
The inside coverage area that you receive from the weBoost Drive X RV will depend on the existing outside signal strength in the location where you're traveling or parked. In areas where you get a moderate existing outside signal, the 4G Extreme will provide a boosted signal up to 6 ft from the inside antenna. As the outside signal gets weaker, the coverage area will shrink, until the point where you may have to keep your phone within about 18 inches from the inside antenna to take advantage of the boosted signal.
The ideal way to talk on the phone while moving around the vehicle would be to keep your phone near the inside antenna and use a Bluetooth headset for mobility. Hotspots can also be left near the inside antenna, giving you the fastest internet speeds possible.
Supported Carriers
The weBoost Drive X RV Kit supports virtually all of the networks and carriers in North America. It does not support any WiMAX or iDEN networks.
- 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.
