We considered getting a telescoping pole so that we could raise the antenna when we are stationary. And since the outside antenna and inside antenna need to be at least 10 feet apart, most people will mount the antenna at the very front or back of their roof. The best place to mount it is up high, ideally higher than anything else on your roof, so that incoming signal cannot be obstructed. To install the WeBoost you need to mount the outside antenna somewhere on the outside of your vehicle. And cell signal is especially bad in mountains because they physically obstruct the signal. Making it more of a challenge for the antenna to find signal. Therefore, if you venture far from cities and towns, then chances are cell towers are far and few between. The hotspot data is what allows us to turn our phones into a Wifi hotspot and connect our computers to the internet. So for example, we upgraded our iPhones to a Verizon Unlimited data plan, with high speed internet up to 22GB for cellular data and 15GB of hotspot data.

Then functionally, you can use the signal with you phone or other devices like you would any other cell signal. The booster then can amplify that signal (up to 32X) and rebroadcasts it through the inside antenna. The outside antenna picks up cell signal for any nearby towers, and sends that signal to the booster inside. (Which can be tough in smaller rigs.) If the antennas are placed too close to each other you will create oscillation (interference between the antennas). One antenna is placed outside the van/RV and the other is placed inside, at least 10 feet away from the outside antenna.

The WeBoost Drive 4G-X RV has two antenna’s and a “booster” device in the middle. Which means that it simply picks up any cellular signal in the air and amplifies it inside your vehicle.
