The TerrainSuper cell booster by SolidRF, released in January 2020, is an interesting booster design intended for vehicles and small RV's. Unfortunately, SolidRF seems to have dropped the "TerrainSuper" product name and instead used the confusing "Portable Vehicle Cell Phone Signal Booster" on it's website.
Unique among boosters - the TerrainSuper has six antennas, one dedicated to each of the five bands it boosts.
As for the sixth antenna - that is dormant and reserved for future product versions, and we have details on what may be coming in the member section below.
A seventh internal antenna is also used for GPS signal amplification - a feature never previously seen in a cellular booster. However, the marketing for this booster no longer includes this feature, suggesting it may no longer be a usable feature.
The booster comes in a portable kit with a magnetic mount exterior booster unit with removable antennas, an interior antenna, cabling, and a 12V DC power supply.

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).
