Hey hobbshauler.......I am a verizon air card person with a booster.
I use the regular air card, have an cellular booster with a cellular truckers antenna........I have used it in the middle of the mountains where cell service is weak for regular cell phones at best.....the great thing in I can boost my regular cell service with it also....so we are rarely out of service.
I currently use a smoothtalker booster. it is all hard wired together and is plain and simple.......my next system will be from
www.wilsonelectronics.com they have mobile (rv or car models) that are wireless to the air card and phone. this is good cause many phone manufacturers are no longer building antenna jack into their phones. Plus from what I've read the wilson is even more powerful than the smoothtalker........as we maintain a website also the faster speeds are more helpful.
technical support from verizon has been great when we run into a challenge......usually caused by us.......hahahahaha
happy trails
Don
