![]() To elaborate upon the tech’s notes on the above image, Signal Supervisor (developed for the HiBoost system) runs a check to ensure that all cell tower bands are being boosted (signal gain) as much as possible – namely 50db – which as he notes is the limit of what the FCC allows. The annotations to this Signal Supervisor panel were provided by one of the HiBoost techs – who ARE incidentally VERY accessible and ready to help HiBoost product owners optimize their systems. Signal Supervisor – helps you to understand how efficiently your HiBoost system is working Without optimal readings here, there’s little point to going on to the other tools which test and ideally show the effectiveness of the system. As you’ll see below, all “bands” the app detects should show a 50db gain in the signal – this is the sign of a good install. Signal Supervisor should be your first tool to test your HiBoost installation. Thinking about getting a camper – or replacing your current camper (any type – towable/motorized, etc.)? Many have found my Concierge RV Buying (and Selling) Service to be of great value to them. #Antenna booster for rv free#To conduct the quantitative tests I outline below, I used three tools – all are free – two are phone apps (I use an android, so for you iphone people, you’ll have to see if these (or similar) are available for you.) The two phone apps are Signal Supervisor (developed by HiBoost) and Network Cell Info Lite (independent.) The third tool is called cellmapper – available online HERE. Know that they are complementary, not repetitive. Boulder turned out to be an excellent place to test the system as the cell service is weak and on occasion, even worse! Results can be found below AND in the video above. While I’ve owned the HiBoost since autumn 2021, the majority of my testing was done in Boulder, Wyoming. Testing the performance of the HiBoost RV Cell Signal Booster For me that would not work as my phone sits on a wireless charging pad when I’m at my desk. Note: With the HiBoost system, you are able to move your phone around and still gain benefit some systems require you put the phone in a cradle that is built into the indoor antenna. Indoor Antenna – this is a small, shark fin shaped device – positioning is discussed within the video.It can be powered via USB cable OR with a 110v adapter (included in the package.) Note: This is important so you can run the system while dry camping – even if you’re only powered by your RV’s 12v system. I have mine “permanently” mounted using sticky pads to a surface. Cell Phone Booster – a well made unit! Metal housing and it feels substantial.There is a cable that runs from the outside antenna to the campers interior and connects to the cell phone booster itself. An omni-directional outside antenna – I mounted this (see video) to the top of my ladder as I didn’t want to drill any holes in my camper the hardware they supply has enabled the mounting to remain stable for several months now.The HiBoost system consists of the following: less expensive than WeBoost – its nearest competition. I also appreciate the fact that it is $100-200. The HiBoost RV Cell Signal Boosteris similar to many high quality cell signal boosters in its design – though there are a few refinements that I’ve grown to appreciate. Key components to the HiBoost Cell Signal Booster There are many areas where a cell signal booster will enable you to do all the things I’ve noted earlier where without the booster, you’ll really struggle. I found the HiBoost to do everything I hoped and expected it would do.įortunately, between Verizon & ATT (I have both), you have to get really remote to have absolutely NO signal. A cell signal booster can NOT boost a signal that doesn’t exist. An important KEY is there MUST be at least a WEAK signal to begin with.
