The WeBoost Drive X RV Cell Booster is made specifically for Recreational Vehicles. The primary job of a cell booster like the WeBoost Drive X, is to amplify those weak signals into ones that can be used on your cell phone. If you’re receiving a weak signal on your cell phone or none at all it’s often because of hills and mountains or because you’re at the outer range of a cell tower’s signal, which is typically around 15 miles in the city and between 30 and 40 miles in rural areas depending on the height of the cell array. Unfortunately, UHF radio waves are blocked by mountains and cannot travel beyond the horizon, but can penetrate trees and some buildings though some attenuation of the signal is often experienced. This is done to maximize the range of the UHF line-of-site signal. Because cell systems are line-of-sight, you’ll usually find cell towers perched atop mountains, tall buildings, and/or tall towers. Cellular systems operate anywhere from 700 to 894 MHZ and from 1700 to 2155 MHZ. In order to communicate, they need to be within line-of-sight of a Cell tower. Cell phones are basically high-speed, digital, full-duplex UHF radios. This is a Review of the WeBoost Drive X RV Cell Booster, a brand-new release by the company and an upgrade from the popular 4G-X-RV model.įirst, let’s talk a little tech. The best mobile cell boosters in the industry today are those being built by Wilson Electronics. Sure, a good cell booster can’t fill in those gaps, but it can amplify weak LTE signals into ones that can be used on your cell phone. That’s where a cell signal booster comes in.

Of the major service providers, Verizon has the best 4G LTE coverage, but weak signals and gaps in coverage throughout the western United States still exists. We can’t do any of these things without cell service. We enjoy exploring and getting away in the camper, but we also need to have a way to upload articles, post on social media, and maintain the website. This is especially true here at Truck Camper Adventure. Yes, the truck camper allows us to get away and relax, but a good number us still work and need Internet connectivity to do our jobs.

For many of us, reliable cell phone service is not only a nicety, it’s a necessity.
