When weBoost first announced the Drive 4G-X cellular booster in February 2015, they also announced a special weBoost Drive 4G-XR bundle “coming soon” that was intended specifically for RVers.

The classic weBoost / Wilson Electronics “trucker” antenna had a solid reputation back in the dual-band days of 2G and 3G cellular – and it was installed on many RVs over the years. But like most older antenna designs, the Wilson RV/Truck antenna was optimized only for the 850MHz cellular and 1900MHz PCS bands. In other bands, […]

According to a customer service reply, the new booster […]
We’ve heard the past several days from a few readers who ordered the brand new weBoost Drive 4G-X cellular booster and who received some of the initial deliveries. To their surprise, these readers discovered when they first plugged the 4G-X in the booster would get extremely hot, and the booster would also not seemingly function properly – often […]

It’s been a long time since there has been a new entrant into the mobile boosting landscape, primarily due to the intensive 2014 FCC certification process. Since last May, when the new regulations went into effect, there have been few mobile 4G boosters to choose from – mostly only options from Wilson Electronics (now rebranded as […]
In February when Wilson Electronics officially rebranded as weBoost, we were thrilled to discover some exciting new products listed as “coming soon” on the newly launched website. In particular – the Drive 4G-XR (RV) package excited us. At last, an LTE cellular booster bundle designed with RVs in mind – featuring a new roof-mounted RV […]
As hoped for, there are some great deals to be had on close out models from Wilson Electronics. Earlier this year, the company rebranded as weBoost and they repackaged up their popular mobile boosters.
