Best Cell phone signal booster for truck

If you are a truck driver, it’s not surprising at all that from time to time you face signal issues, especially in remote and rural areas that are not properly covered by your carrier. However, it doesn’t mean that the only choice for you is to stay disconnected from the rest of the world while you are driving. Today there is an excellent option for you. You can install a special device called a signal booster for truck and forget about any problems with your mobile connection.

Though there are a lot of models of signal repeaters for other vehicles, the devices intended for trucks have a row of peculiarities. Is it possible to install traditional amplifiers for cars or boats in a truck? Though there may be some challenges with installation, it will be still possible. And a booster will also function. But we recommend considering the purchase of a special cell phone signal booster for truck which will guarantee 100% safety and efficiency of the use of this device.

In this article we are going to explain what makes a truck cell signal booster stand out from the row.

These amplifiers are developed for professional truck drivers to allow them to enjoy excellent voice and internet services when they are on the road.


Carriers that a cell signal booster for trucks can work with

The devices that you can find in our catalogue are compatible with all major operators in the United Kingdom including but not limited to O2, EE, Vodafone Mobile, Three, Tesco Mobile, Talk Mobile, Giffgaff, Asda, Talk Talk, etc.

As for the phone models that a signal booster for trucks can work with, there are practically no restrictions. But you should understand that if you use a phone that does not support the 4G (LTE) connection, a booster will not change the situation. Also please pay your attention to the fact that there are boosters to ensure better connection for one mobile device only but also there are models that can support multiple connections (up to 4).


How does a booster work?

With a signal booster truck drivers can forget about problems with calls, data exchange, watching video and listen to music online. But how is it possible?

The working principle of OTR boosters is very similar to the one of more common models of repeaters that are usually installed in houses and offices.

A cell signal booster for trucks has several key elements. First of all, each of them has an exterior antenna. It is very sensitive and powerful which allows it to catch mobile signals even when they are too weak to be caught by a smartphone or tablet.

In the cab of the truck a driver should install a booster box that will get the signal caught by the antenna and strengthen it. After the signal is amplified it will be transmitted by a cradle (if you have a cradle booster) or an interior antenna (if it is a wireless booster).

As a result you will have a stable connection without any interruption even while driving somewhere far away from the nearest cell tower of your operator.


OTR cell phone signal boosters and boosters for other vehicles: what’s the difference?

As we have already mentioned despite the fact that cell boosters for trucks are very similar to amplifiers intended for other types of vehicles including cars and boats, we recommend buying special devices for trucks.

The main issue that you may face is fixing an exterior antenna of a simple vehicle signal booster on a truck. Antennas of Over-The-Road cell signal boosters have some peculiarities that allow them to ensure the maximum boost of a cell signal.

Different truck models have different cab and mirror shapes, different mirror locations and sizes. As a result, they may require different approaches to antenna mounting. Some trucks have CB (citizen band) mounting spots for antennas, that’s why side exit adapters for boosters can be of great use. However, such adapters can’t be viewed as a universal solution. Truck cell boosters are designed in a way that allows drivers to change some elements (for example the length of the antenna) to ensure the highest efficiency of booster functioning.

Typical mobile signal boosters for other types of vehicles do not provide such flexibility.
