FirstNet is a high-speed, nationwide wireless broadband network maintained by AT&T for public safety communications. This network has dedicated cellular frequencies for law enforcement, firefighters, ambulances, and other first responders and public safety agencies.

The Uniden UM50 FN cell phone signal booster helps you stay connected and experience fewer dropped calls, undelivered texts, and missed email messages at all times, including during emergencies. It amplifies FirstNet band 14 and AT&T band 12.

Powerful Signal’s UM50 FN system for large vehicles includes an RFI OTR whip antenna that provides 4.5 to 6.5 dBi of signal gain, sending up to 4½ times the signal to the booster so you can stay connected, experience fewer dropped calls and missed messages, and have more reliable access to navigation and other apps on your smartphone.

Stay connected farther from cell towers and experience fewer dropped calls, undelivered texts, and missed email messages. Data-driven navigation and other apps will perform better in remote areas with weak cell service and obstructions between your car and the cell tower.

Who is the Uniden UM50 FN for Large Vehicles for?

Police departments, sheriffs, and other law enforcement agency trucks and vehicles.
Fire trucks and ambulances.
Personal vehicles used by police chiefs, fire chiefs, and other key personnel who need improved FirstNet reception on the road.
First responder vehicles operating in remote locations with weak cell service (new communities, rural areas, etc.)

Installation

Installation of the Uniden UM50 FN can be completed in about 30 minutes.

Attach the stainless steel 3‑way mount to a rail or bracket in a location that will provide the whip antenna with the clearest 360° field of view. Secure the bull bar mount to the 3‑way mount with the threaded bolt.
Thread the cable connected to the whip antenna’s spring mount through the opening at the top of the bull bar mount. Secure the antenna to the bull bar mount with the jam nut.
Run the RG58 coax cable inside to the booster unit. If you run the cable through a door, thread it through and behind the doorway’s weatherstripping, securing the cable where needed to keep it from flailing in the wind. Connect the end of the cable to the booster. Do not pinch, kink, loop, or coil the cable.
Place the Uniden UM50 FN booster under a seat or in another location where it will have adequate ventilation.
Adhere the dash-mounted inside patch antenna as close as possible to where you keep your phone while driving. For example, if you dock your phone in a cradle on the dashboard, the server antenna should be mounted to the dashboard right behind the cradle. (The closer the server antenna is to the phone, the more likely you are to receive improved signal when outside reception is very weak.)
Run the inside antenna’s RG174 coax cable to the booster and complete the connection.
Plug in the booster using the DC socket power supply or the DC hardwire power supply.
