The Drive Reach OTR
First released in November 2020, the weBoost Drive Reach OTR is a connectivity game-changer for off-roading enthusiasts and truck drivers. This award-winning product is weBoost’s most powerful multi-user, in-vehicle cell signal booster for semi-trucks and overlanders. With its ruggedized, all-weather OTR Truck OmniDirectional Antenna, it boasts a maximum connection range and a 60 percent larger service range than other boosters on the market.
The Drive Reach OTR boosts voice and data with max Federal Communications Commission (FCC) allowed 50 dB system gain — enhancing all available network signals up to 32 times. Drivers experience fewer lost connections and dead zones, better audio quality, and faster data uploads and downloads with this premier signal booster.
More powerful than previous models, the Drive Reach OTR allows truck and off-road vehicle drivers to enjoy strong cell phone signal up to 74% further away from a cell tower. The versatile, powerful antenna provides new height configurations that weren’t possible in previous models, enabling the booster to avoid many common cell signal barriers found at lower levels. Together, this provides a huge improvement in cellular connectivity and speed across all wireless carriers— giving drivers peace of mind wherever the road takes them.
All components come in one package for easy DIY installation. The booster kit includes with parts to accommodate multiple installation options. Because weBoost is committed to the 5G movement, the Drive Reach OTR is also 5G compatible.
