Can I Use a Cell Booster With a Nomad Modem?

Cellular boosters can cause interference and do not work well with Nomad modems. Our modems must receive direct signal from the nearest tower for a certain set of frequencies not normally amplified by cell boosters.

While your modem is trying to listen to what it needs to hear, a cell booster is amplifying and rebroadcasting a host of other frequencies that the modem can’t use. Essentially, the signals become “noise” for our modem. If there is a high enough noise level, the modem will degrade in speed or disconnect completely.

In RV parks, it is very common for other RVer’s to use cell boosters to boost their signal for cell service which could ultimately affect your own internet experience.
