We have been using Wilson cellular booster for several years.Wilson was rebranded to WeBoost 3 or 4 years ago.The key in selecting a cell booster is the frequency spectrum which is being effectively amplified (700 Mhz, 850 Mhz, 1900 Mhz & 1700/2100 Mhz) these are the most common radio's you will find on cell towers throughout the country.For data purposes that means 2G, 3G, 4G HSPA+, 4G LTE, 5Ge. The term 5Ge is actually marketing fluff and it refers to 5G service on existing LTE spectrum. Gain on each of the four frequency bands covered varies depending on the individual band. In an RV over the road environment the lower the frequency band the higher the gain. In the preliminary tests I ran at the time I actually measured a consistent 27 db gain in signal strength in the 700 Mhz spectrum. The key to setting up a cellular booster is in insuring you mount your external antenna on a ground plane. To do that i placed a 12" square metal plate on the roof and mounted the magnetic antenna wilson/weboost provided on that plate. I used the refrigerator exhaust vent as an ingress point into the coach to avoid cutting an additional hole in the roof. You also need to maintain a minimum of 18" of separation between your internal and external cell booster antenna's
A little about 5G with the exception of the new 600 Mhz spectrum (not covered by existing cellular boosters) and the existing 700 Mhz & 850 Mhz spectrum not much will be usable for 5G. High bandwidth capabilities in rural and suburban environments for mobile devices aren't going to happen without massive infrastructure investments with little or no return on investment. 5G is in cities with high population densities where cell towers, + micro,mano, and/or pico cells can be placed in or on buildings. I Expect 4G & LTE service to be around for the next 5 -10 years. In fact some existing 2G/3G networks will be around thru at least the end of 2022 with the major carriers and perhaps longer with some of the regional carriers that you may be roaming on when you travel around the country. Its also important to remember not all campgrounds have sufficient cellular coverage to make a cellular booster viable. We happen to be in a campground near Silverlake Washington there is no Verizon service, T-moble requres a boosted signal to make a call and the data service (LTE) iss so slow it is unusable. AT&T is the only device we can rely on in this particular park.
As far as wifi is concerned I have a wifiranger Elite on the roof and have been using a wifiranger Go2 in the coach for several years. The Go2 failed about two weeks ago so I will be replacing it in the next week or two with a Wifiranger Aspen along with a POE injector to provide power and a GigE connection between the two routers. As a matter of information i use a Verizon 8800L mifi device on a prepaid data only plan or the hotspot on either our T-MOBILE iphone (unlimited data) or our AT&T Iphone when the wifi in a park doesn't meet our needs.
