Magnadyne is a mobile and marine electronics company. It offers the RV-Link system, which includes a common roof-top antenna as well as the option for Wi-Fi extending and LTE connectivity.
Magnadyne is encouraging RV manufacturers to pre-install the RV-Link antenna on the roof of new RVs with wiring for an interior Wi-Fi router.
The rooftop antenna has a place to add in a long-range Wi-Fi receiver hidden under the antenna's dome - and the antenna is pre-wired to an indoor location for mounting a matched indoor Wi-Fi router.
Magnadyne released the LTE upgrade kit in late May 2020 and AT&T's Connected Car website offers RV-Link specific cellular plans, which were not very attractive options for those looking for a home internet replacement, but since AT&T retired the RV Connected Car you can purchase these plans with any tablet, phone or hotspot that AT&T offers in their AT&T Prepaid Data Plans.
The LTE modem is a very basic category-4 device, but it does support all the primary frequency bands for AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile which does give it some flexibility.
The RV-Link system is primarily designed for RV manufacturer installation, but an aftermarket kit is also available.
The router can also distribute a 4G LTE connection from a smartphone or hotspot by using WiFi-as-WAN. There is no ability to do USB tethering capability with this system.
NOTE: This is newer but similar to Magnadyne's older MOBILEVISION MV100-TV system.
