When Wilson Electronics rebranded as weBoost in 2015, they took the existing Sleek 4G cradle-style signal booster, changed the plastic casing a bit, and re-released it as the weBoost Drive 4G-S – retiring the “Sleek” brand in the process. But now “Sleek” is back in the weBoost product line – with today’s newly announced weBoost […]
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. For the longest time – this upcoming kit was even featured prominently on the weBoost website. But then in April 2015, weBoost removed the Drive 4G-XR […]
2016 has been a good year for staying connected.

weBoost today announced a new official “Truck Edition” bundle that combines a new version of the Drive 4G-X booster (one of our current top picks) with the newly announced 4G-OTR RV & Truck antenna. weBoost is clear in their announcement that this is a package targeted at long-haul truckers, saying: “Whether truckers are driving Atlantic […]
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, […]

In a regular scan over the weekend, we noticed that while the previously announced weBoost RV 4G cellular booster was still listed as ‘Out of Stock’ on the weBoost website – a ‘Buy from Camping World’ button was now posted, along with a link to the PDF manual. 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 […]

From the press release: Designed to boost signal for multiple users inside of an RV, fifth wheel or bumper pull trailer, the weBoost RV-4G includes a reversible suction cup mount that allows for easy installation and orientation of the […]
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. The new boosters are essentially the same exact specifications as the Wilson equivalents, just in different colors & formats… with Canadian certifications. […]
Cellular booster manufacturer weBoost (formerly known as Wilson Electronics) unveiled its new website and product line today, as promised. As expected – most of the product line is just a new weBoost skin on the old Wilson boosters, but there seems to be a truly new mobile booster “Coming Soon” that may be destined to […]
Wilson Electronics and its iconic blue boosters have been the default go-to cellular booster choice for RVers for years. We’ve actually heard “Wilson” used synonymously with “booster” a few times, the brand name has become so closely associated with cellular boosting. So of course, Wilson Electronics has announced that they are going to rebrand and rename the company: “Today, […]
