KING is a company specializing in technology for RVers and outdoor enthusiasts. Historically focused on over the air TV technology, KING has entered into the mobile internet space.
In September 2019, they began offering the King Extend - which they list as powered by weBoost. The King Extend has been licensed based off the weBoost 4G-X cellular booster kit.
weBoost released the 4G-X RV kit in April 2017 based on the their then flagship mobile booster.
The kit was officially retired from weBoost's line-up in July of 2019 and replaced with the weBoost Drive X RV, which includes our preferred OTR Antenna in a RV form factor instead.
The retired kit is now licensed to King, and offered at $50 above its original retail price.

Learn More About Selecting Cellular Boosters
Boosters are NOT the right choice for all applications.
They make the most sense for devices without antenna ports (like smartphones and tablets), or when in weak signal areas. However, for devices with antenna ports in mild to moderate signal areas - a direct-connected antenna can outperform a booster. And boosters can actually DECREASE data speeds in some conditions - never assume you need a booster on all the time - always test at each location!

Consider the Netgear MIMO Antenna for devices with dual antenna ports. This little $27.49 antenna is worth having in your setup. It our extensive testing, it often beats out boosters for data performance in Jetpacks, MiFis and other hotspot devices.
