Do you offer different length cables with weBoost Marine kit? It would be nice if you have a drop down arrow with options to choose the length preferred. I would like to purchase this kit but instead of 20 ft. cable, I want 30 ft. of cable and wonder if you can replace the 20 ft. with a 30 ft. cable?

Regarding marine kits, we always first recommend original marine kit listed at link below:   https://www.signalbooster.com/products/shakespeare-super-halo-3g-4g-lte-rv-marine-cellular-booster   The reason is that the kit at link above has been designed specifically for marine vessels. It comes with 40 ft. exterior antenna cable and 20 ft. interior antenna cable. Since it is made from scratch especially for marine vessels, it has all the bells and whistles for secure marine vessel installation including weatherized exterior components.   If you must get a longer cable for weBoost Drive Reach Marine or the weBoost Drive Reach Marine Extreme, you will need to buy additional specific length cable you need separately at link below: (Different length cables for weBoost Drive Reach Marine, RV, OTR Truck kits)   https://www.signalbooster.com/products/50-ohm-coaxial-cable-with-sma-male-and-n-male-connector   Thank you.

Is it possible to connect 2 separate indoor antennas (one for upstairs and one for downstairs) to one booster that connects to one antenna? Or if that is not possible, is it possible to connect two boosters with 2 indoor antennas to only one outdoor antenna. Or would we have to purchase 2 whole separate units with two outdoor antennas for upstairs and downstairs and would that create any conflicts? Moving the upstairs indoor antenna to help the downstairs benefit is not an option for us. Least amount of additional equipment the better without compromising the signal.

A second indoor antenna can be added with utilization of a splitter. When a second indoor antenna is added, it does divide the signal strength and creates signal loss. If signal is low already outside, this method of using two indoor antennas may not yield optimal performance.

I want to install your signal booster on a 23 foot boat. Since there is no way to separate the inside antenna from outside to meet your required distance to prevent distortion, do I really need the inside antenna?

With a small boat cell signal booster, you only need to achieve 3 feet of separation. Without knowing what type/style of boat you have, we cannot give suggestions or placement but you absolutely need included interior patch antenna that is used in conjunction with external antenna. Just outside antenna and booster will not provide any signal enhancement.

We purchased the weBoost Drive Reach Extreme Marine Cell Phone Booster from you for our boat and the coverage is working much better for everyone where the indoor antenna is located, but it will not reach anyone down below. Is there a way that all could benefit from this booster?

Yes, the Panel interior antenna you have is a directional antenna. Therefore, you can install it on ceiling covering space down below you need covered. People in room of antenna will benefit, and so will those below on lower level. You will have to co-ordinate where to install so most would benefit on both floors.

It looks like the marine antenna & mount is not gonna work for my application. Can I exchange for OTR antenna?

Yes, absolutely. Please note that you must return marine antenna for refund of marine antenna retail price within 60 days.

Meanwhile, you can order the correct antenna option you need online using respective link below:

Option 1: Shorter RV antenna (Adjusts 7.5 To 20.5 Inch).

Option 2: Longer Trucker antenna (Adjusts 7.5 To 40 Inches).

Both antennas are exactly the same except that the longer one (Option # 2: OTR or Trucker antenna) one has an extra mast extension for longer length.

Simply return marine antenna to address shown on our contact us page, along with your order number and the reason for return on a piece of paper (bought another antenna from us to switch out with marine antenna), and we will issue refund when we process your return. Thank you.

The WeBoost Drive Reach Extreme Marine Cell Phone Booster kit includes two part # 970019 SMA Female To SMB Plug Connector. Would I be able to buy a different collection of components but with the correct cables so that I could not need signal-losing connectors? Which cables would I need to buy?

Marine antenna part # 304420 included is supplied with a cable that adapts the marine antenna to SMA-Male connection. So, you would need adapter # 970019 to adapt it to SMB connector on the red cellular amplifier unit.

There are no cables available separately with SMB connector on it, so the adapter would be required. weBoost does not sell marine kits. Being their distributor, we have this marine kit we have put together for marine vessels. Rest assured that the signal loss incurred due to extra connector that you're concerned about, is minimal at only up to 0.5 dB.

Also, the marine antenna cable is detachable from antenna, whereas the magnetic antenna in standard Drive Reach kit is fixed to the antenna. Therefore, in future, when we have the separate cable crimped with SMB connector become available, you can replace it then on your marine antenna to bypass extra connector.

Is this unit 5G ready?

Yes, it is "5G Ready", per manufacturers statement. However, please note that "5G Ready" does not mean "5G". Let us explain:

Currently, as of November 17, 2020, none of the boosters that weBoost and WilsonPro make are true "5G" meaning they do not, and will not boost higher Millimeter Wave frequencies slated for 5G.

Please read the summary at bottom of page at https://www.weboost.com/5g that reads: (pasted below between dotted lines)

.........................................................................................................

Will weBoost boosters work with 5G?

Yes, our current weBoost product line will work in a 5G world. Carriers will continue to rely on the 4G LTE network to provide service for the majority of subscribers well into 2030 and beyond.

.........................................................................................................

Essentially, when they say "5G Ready", it means what is stated above - they will simply work in 5G world, to boost 4G signal. None of their boosters are "5G", as of today.

"5G Ready" in boosters also implies that where 5G network is not available (this includes places on map where 5G exists per the Carrier, but there's no service at a specific spot due to factors such as building materials, trees, etc.), the 5G device will automatically use default available 4G or LTE network which will, in turn, be enhanced by these boosters to provide better coverage if it is not already optimum.

In summary, the answer to your question is yes, this booster covers exact same frequencies that all other boosters listed at manufacturers website which state "5G Ready" beside them.

A reviewer commented that he was returning the product because he found that in fact it needs to be within 2 mile range of a cell tower to function. Can you please elaborate on this. Thanks. Also the less expensive model indicates that your inside antenna range 2-4’ and this model has greater range. But what IS the interior range of this model? Please don’t add me to a spam mail list. Thank you in advance for that.

It can work to boost inside signal up to 50 miles away from a cell tower. That information about 2 mile range requirement from cell tower is not correct. Maybe the cell tower that was within 2 miles belonged to another carrier's cell tower and reception was dropping because relevant carrier's cell tower was already up to 50 miles. The range of this interior antenna called "Panel directional antenna", is up to 5000 sq. ft. depending on strength of outside signal.

A 20 feet cable won’t reach the top of the mast on my boat. Do you sell a longer cable or is it possible to hook two together?

As you add cable on to the system, the signal loss increases. That would be problematic in areas of low signal. Having longer runs of 50Ohm RG 58 cable (which is what the system uses) would negate the effectiveness of the system. I can understand the need for longer runs, but in many cases the longer runs wouldn't be effective.

That being said, the following are the cables that can be purchased:

There's the 6 ft. cable: 951130
There's the 10 ft. cable: 951147
There's the 15 ft. cable: 955815

Since the cable that comes with the kit has SMA connectors already, all you would need is just an extension cable like listed above with SMA Male on one side and SMA Female on other - as already included in above cables.

You can add or connect any of above to the 20 ft. cable that comes with the kit for connectivity from exterior antenna to booster base. Please keep in mind that the booster needs -110 dB of signal on 4G or LTE network to boost at a minimum. Outside Marine Antenna has a gain of 5.1 dB and the RG 58 cable loses 2.4 dB per 10 ft. You reach 20 ft. and you have lost almost all the signal that was gained by the antenna, relying solely on the booster to amplify whatever little signal that is left. That is why we wouldn't recommend extension cables.
