The China-based electronics company Anntlent received FCC approval in 2017 and 2018 for two very similar 4G/LTE mobile boosters. This booster technology is sold in the US under the Anntlent name as well as various other brands including Anycall and Phonetone.
Although the cases and exterior controls may be different, these are all based on the same basic booster design. Additionally, these boosters can be found kitted with a variety of interior and exterior antenna and cabling combinations.

Cellular boosters can be quite useful for boosting the signal to a smartphone to get a more solid phone call. But when it comes to enhancing cellular data performance, things get more complicated.
Because of a technology called MIMO (multiple in multiple out) that is essential to LTE and 5G data, often times the internal antennas on a smartphone or hotspot don't benefit from an amplified signal. Boosters also only cover a handful of the frequency bands the carries use for data.
But a booster can play a role in a mobile internet arsenal - as they excel during times when you are really far from a tower, or where upload speeds are important (such as video broadcasting).
