We use a trucker's antenna (comparable & recommended by Wilson) mounted on a 35 pole from Lowe's connected to a Wilson 4Gx WiFi booster which then routes (wirelesses signal) to my cell phones an my Verizon Jetpack. Works great in almost all but the most remote locations. The line of site is greatly increased. And of course if you also had a directional antennae too then, "Bob's your uncle".

I used that "Trucker" antenna at first with my wilson booster because it was less expensive. I have since replaced it with a Yagi directional and it works much better now. 20 miles away to my closest tower and getting fair internet speeds for LTE. Good enough not great but the only way I think you would get better is with Hughsnet and I tried that and for the money I thought it sucked so I cut it off.

	It does not become a wifi hotspot. You need an aircard or a hotspot capable cell phone. An Apple would be my choice 😛

	Why use LTE Is there a question here somewhere? If you go WiFiRanger would that not take care of all issues?
