“What is the best, cheapest ___?” and “I don’t want to drill holes in my roof, how can I mount my antenna?” These are two questions we get asked pretty frequently here at the Mobile Internet Resource Center. In the past, we have had to respond with let downs such as: “Cheapest and best aren’t […]
weBoost mobile cellular boosters have long been top performers for nomads looking to enhance cellular signals. A cellular booster works with an exterior antenna, an amplifier unit, and an interior antenna to deliver the boosted signal to cellular devices within wireless range indoors.
