Quick Summary of Best Signal Boosters For Vehicles (5 Devices To Kill Quarantine Fatigue)

“If avoiding other humans during the coronavirus crisis is what’s going to keep us safe, healthy, and alive, then being able to go outside, many concur, is what will help keep us sane.”

This recent quote from Sierra Club journalist Jackie Bryant shares a sentiment that many people are taking to heart. While hotels have suffered during the quarantine, campgrounds have not. National Parks, though only open to local residents as of this writing, generally remain as busy as is being allowed. Sales of cycling equipment, gardening supplies, and outdoor games have gone way up.

It would seem that being isolated is against human nature. But here’s the good news! Social distancing can just as easily been done outside our homes as inside. In fact, it’s much easier! The great outdoors has a lot more square footage than your apartment and you have a lot more options.

So…what does this mean for cell phone signal boosters?

As you ramp up your COVID-appropriate outdoor exploration during Spring and Summer, the need for signal boosters increases. Mountain biking, cabin time, overnighters in your RV at a KOA, and everything else you might be doing to avoid quarantine fatigue often require a signal booster. Particularly because, in order to do these things, it requires driving.

This is a perfect time to lay out the details on SureCall’s 5 cell phone signal boosters designed for automobile use. Let’s go over what they are, what they do, and other details that make them perfect for this precise moment in our lives.

One Quick Thing Before We Explain The Devices…

The best signal boosters for your vehicles may be different than someone else. Whether you have a sedan, SUV, truck, or RV matters, as does whether or not you’re primarily a single driver or a family driving together. We’ll give you all the information you need to choose the right one below.

Fusion2Go Max

Most Powerful Cell Phone Signal Booster for Vehicles

Specs at a glance:

Designed for vehicle use
Boosts 3G & 4G signal
Compatible with all North American carriers
U.S.-based customer support
3-year warranty
60-day money-back guarantee
FCC approved
Current price: $499.99 (Amazon)

Let’s start with the best. This is the most powerful signal booster on the market designed for automobile use. Why go with our heaviest hitter over some of our other choices for you spring and summer adventures? It depends on where your quarantine home base is and how much you value service speeds and cell signal. As well as where you’re going to get some fresh air.

If you spend most of your time in the city, and you drive mostly in the city, justifying the cost might be hard. But if you travel, work, or live in an area with a notoriously poor or spotty signal, that's a different story. Also, if you leave civilization on a regular basis during this Coronavirus event or otherwise, the Fusion2Go Max is a very good investment. It will make many aspects of your traveling extremely convenient.

Another thing. If you drive for a living—as in a courier, trucker, Uber driver, etc—getting this device is a great idea. And it’s an even greater idea if your driving job requires you to constantly send and receive large amounts of data. Or if you are have to constantly talk on the phone for work while driving for a living. If you depend on not dropping calls, fast data speeds, and need your phone’s Wi-Fi hotspot to stay strong on the road, this device is a good choice. The best choice, really.

And remember above when we said it matters if you drive a sedan, SUV, truck, or an RV? Not with the Fusion2Go Max. It’s perfectly operable in almost any kind of vehicle, providing a boosted signal for about a 4-5 foot radius.

Fusion2Go 3.0

Most Powerful Non-ERT Cell Phone Signal Booster for Vehicles

Specs at a glance:

Designed for vehicle use
Boosts 3G & 4G signal
Compatible with all North American carriers
Simple setup in minutes
U.S.-based customer support
3-year warranty
60-day money-back guarantee
FCC approved
Current price: $314.98 (Amazon)

Note: ERT stands for Extended Range Technology. It’s a unique technology patented by SureCall that amplifies cell signals outside the vehicle. Though the Fusion2Go 3.0 is not designed with this feature, it still packs a very big punch.

Before the previously mentioned Fusion2Go Max was introduced, SureCall’s Fusion2Go 3.0 was consistently rated as the top signal booster on the market. And it’s still one of our most popular products.

This device will help maintain data speeds and dropped calls. Let’s say you’re going camping with the family to get your minds off COVID-19. You have to drive up through the mountains or down a canyon to get to your destination, and you need to make calls along the way. The Fusion2Go 3.0 will make sure you don’t drop any of them.

The Fusion2Go is most definitely one of the best signal boosters for vehicles. It’s great for cars, trucks, and SUVS, but probably not the best option for RVs. We’ll discuss the RV option shortly.

N-Range 2.0

Most Powerful Single-User Vehicle Cell Signal Booster

Specs at a glance:

Designed for vehicle use
Designed for single-person use
Features patented ERT
Boosts 3G & 4G signal
Simple setup in minutes
Compatible with all North American carriers
U.S.-based customer support
3-year warranty
60-day money-back guarantee
FCC approved
Current price: $199.99 (Amazon)

Next on our list of best signal boosters for vehicles is the N-Range 2.0, featuring SureCall's patented Extended Range Technology (ERT). The two defining features of this booster is that it’s small and it’s designed for one person driving alone. If it’s predominantly you and you alone driving to the great outdoors to avoid going stir crazy during the quarantine, then this device may be perfect for you. Truck, SUV, car—it doesn’t matter.

It looks a little different than its signal booster counterparts, as well. It has a cradle design where your phone can rest so you don’t have to hold it while driving. The cradle also works to focus the signal directly to your phone while it’s docked.

Let’s say you happen to be driving with a passenger to a trailhead. Your phone is in the dock and his isn’t. Only your phone will receive the boosted signal. Your passenger’s phone won’t.

Once you take the N-Range 2.0 out of the box, it takes 2-3 minutes to install. That’s it. That is all the time it takes to start boosting your signal. And it’s significantly more affordable than some other options.

Fusion2Go 3.0 Fleet

Most Powerful Cell Phone Signal Booster for Fleets/Truckers

Specs at a glance:

Designed for vehicle use
Boosts 3G & 4G signal
Compatible with all North American carriers
Permanent antenna
U.S.-based customer support
3-year warranty
60-day money-back guarantee
FCC approved
Current price: $439.99

This model is designed specifically for fleet use, meaning truckers, law enforcement, public safety officials, and others. This device is probably the least relatable to our current quarantined lives. But it’s certainly worth mentioning because it’s absolutely one of the best signal boosters for vehicles. The design of this model is more sturdy. It can withstand more rugged conditions.

It's also permanently mounted. Because of this, it’s recommended to have it installed by a professional if you have no previous installation experience. There’s drilling involved. But once it's set up, the added lift from the NMO mounted antenna is definitely noticeable.

Fusion2Go 3.0 RV

Most Powerful Cell Phone Signal Booster for RVs/Trailers

Specs at a glance:

Designed for RV use
Boosts 3G & 4G signal
Compatible with all North American carriers
Permanent antenna
U.S.-based customer support
3-year warranty
60-day money-back guarantee
FCC approved
Current price: $449.95 (Amazon)

And finally, the Fusion2Go 3.0 RV designed specifically for use in an RV. That includes trailers, campers, and a variety of other recreational vehicles. Similar in many respects to the Fusion2Go 3.0 Fleet, this is a very sturdy model designed to withstand rugged terrain and inclement weather. It’s also well-equipped to accommodate multiple users inside the vehicle with multiple carriers.

A few nights away from home in an RV is a fantastic way to get away from the Corona madness and reset. And the great thing about bringing the Fusion2Go 3.0 RV along is that it doesn’t even have to be a vacation! You can turn your RV into a portable office. With this device, you’re able to make calls, send texts, browse the internet, and use your phone’s Wi-Fi hotspot. If your job allows you to work remotely, why not take the RV out and work in some real peace and quiet?

…Or bring the family along. You could always do that, too.

This booster, like the Fleet model, is permanently installed and requires a minimum amount of drilling.

Before We Conclude

It goes without saying that a cell phone signal booster will make safely leaving the house during COVID-19 easier. More enjoyable. Convenient. But in all seriousness, spending time outside has scientifically verified health benefits. And just in case this is something you didn’t already know:

If you’re not already, you really should be prioritizing this. The quarantine has taken a toll on our bodies and minds. (Aside from the effects experienced by those who are infected, of course.) It will continue to take an even greater one if you don’t make a point to get yourself outside. And we’re not just talking about exercise. We’re talking about physical and mental health. Spending regular time outside during quarantine will:

increase your Vitamin D levels which improve bone, kidney, and liver function, as well as boosts the immune system.
reduce stress by lowering your heart rate, elevating your mood, and decreasing the hormone cortisol. The natural aromatherapy also produces a calming effect.
promote a more active lifestyle. The more you get up and go out, the more motivated you’ll be to continue doing that.
help you sleep better by reseting your circadian rhythms.

And on top of all that, going outside with a signal booster will give you even more benefits. You’ll have fast data speeds and reliable cell signal in all the places you decide to go. What could be better than that?

Conclusion

Signal boosters aside, we know that most—if not all—of you have some degree of cabin fever at this point. Restaurants, bars, sports, and more are still closed. And let’s face it. Sitting at home streaming movies and TV shows for hours on end isn’t good for anyone’s mental or physical health. Let’s step away from the screens (including your computer filled with around-the-clock frightening headlines) and get outside. You can still maintain proper social distancing protocol outside the walls of your home.

You don’t even have to go far! In fact, in most cases, you probably shouldn’t considering the current environment. Explore nearby trails, hillsides, seasides, beaches, wilderness. Visit a regional open space area. Go camping. Or do something as simple as taking your dog for a walk or sitting in your backyard. Keep meeting social distancing recommendations, but do it outside as much as you can.

And get one of these 5 best signal boosters for vehicles for your quarantine adventures! You won’t regret it.
