The weBoost Sky is a compact vehicle-mounted cellular signal booster designed specifically to improve reception for T-Mobile's Starlink-powered T-Satellite service.
Unlike traditional multi-band cellular boosters, the Sky focuses only on LTE Band 25 used by T-Satellite and is intended primarily to improve satellite messaging and limited supported data applications inside a vehicle. It is not a general-purpose mobile internet solution or a replacement for a traditional cellular booster.

Alternatives to Consider
For other booster options on the market worth comparing this model to - here are our featured options:
The Sky is NOT a general-purpose mobile internet solution.
The Sky is designed specifically to improve T-Satellite connectivity for compatible smartphones using LTE Band 25.
It does not boost the other cellular bands commonly used for terrestrial LTE and 5G service, and it does not turn T-Satellite into a broadband internet connection. Its usefulness is primarily for improving satellite messaging and the limited data applications supported by T-Satellite when traveling beyond conventional cellular coverage.

Cellular boosters can be quite useful for boosting the signal to a smartphone to get a more solid phone call. But when it comes to enhancing cellular data performance, things get more complicated.
Because of a technology called MIMO (multiple in multiple out) that is essential to LTE and 5G data, often times the internal antennas on a smartphone or hotspot don't benefit from an amplified signal. Boosters also only cover a handful of the frequency bands the carries use for data.
But a booster can play a role in a mobile internet arsenal - as they excel during times when you are really far from a tower, or where upload speeds are important (such as video broadcasting).
