Please contact our friendly Customer Services Team support@maxview.co.uk 01553 811000 02 *Correct at time of press.(20/04/2025) Internet Connection on the Move Internet connection, especially whilst travelling, is often relied on for checking the weather, researching places to stay, visit and eat. Keeping up to date with family and friends through social media and emails to simply keeping the kids entertained on journeys and rainy days. The internet has fast become a necessity to our daily lives. Smartphones and other devices can provide access to these services but for many can prove unreliable for coverage and speeds required. People with Smart TV's at home often wish to transfer the same viewing experiences into their vehicle so when they are away from home they don't miss their favourite Netflix series, they can watch their favourite film on Prime video or can simply catch up on the weekly soaps or favourite TV programme at a convenient time via BBC iPlayer or ITV HUB. All subject to country and local contract. The Problem... Poor 4G/5G and WiFi signal on your travels? Internet connection on your adventure can often be disappointing and intermittent. Often the 4G/5G signal on your phone is weak or even non-existent as you venture further into remote and rural locations. Even with the campsite WiFi the bandwidth can become congested with many like-minded users. The result is a poor and slow connection and often just browsing the internet is a chore and streaming your favourite TV show is not even an option. 03 The Solution... Turns this Into this! Maxview Roam, a powerful mobile 4G/5G and WiFi solution... Most Maxview Roam variants use a powerful external roof mounted antenna and an internal powerful router. The solution is a reliable and secure WiFi hotspot for your vehicle. The Maxview solution is unique as the Roam helps you get better internet in two ways. 1. 4G/5G Signal The Roam is primarily designed and optimised to use 4G/5G mobile data in order to create a reliable WiFi hotspot. Using the powerful Roam Antenna, it can often pick up usable 4G, 5G signals where your phone can't. 2. WiFi Source Where a direct WiFi source is available, the Roam can also be used to connect to an existing WiFi hotspot. This secondary function ensures SIM card data is only used when necessary. Either way the Maxview Roam has you covered to maximise your internet connection on your adventure. Perfect for you! We have a range of Roam, Roam Combo and our new Roam Basecamp, to ensure we have the perfect system depending on your usage, application and budget. Whichever option you choose you will receive a free Broadband Go 5GB Data SIM Card, 2 year guarantee and full UK customer support.

This makes the 4x4 MIMO Antenna the perfect partner for the Roam 5G Router. Please note: The 4x4 MIMO Antenna comes with 4 x SMA Cables. Where, as a typical 2x2 MIMO Antenna comes complete with 2 SMA cables as standard. Please reference Images 1-3 on the opposite page. MIMO stands for Multiple-Input, Multiple-Output. Campervan Antenna Type Designed specifically with campervans and panel vans in mind, it has a much smaller footprint. This allows the Antenna not take up precious space on the roof of your vehicle, and will also fit in between or on the ridges of ridged style roofs. In addition it is ideal for pop top applications. Due the compact size the Campervan Antenna isn't available in a 4x4 MIMO option. Ridge roof example: Step 2. Choose your roof mounting method With the Roam range you have a choice of mounting options. Allowing you to have flexible positions to suit your vehicle and application. Direct installation to your vehicle roof Roam Bracket Fixing Bracket Kit Roam Campervan Bracket Fixing Kit Included as standard Self adhesive 3M pad and clamp provides a quick and easy permanent watertight through the roof installation. 4x4 MIMO Antenna Example: Available to buy separately Available to buy separately All models allows you the flexibility to mount your antenna anywhere on your roof and enter the cable at your preferred point using the supplied cable entry cover. Alternatively you may have an existing cable entry point you may like to utilise instead. The aluminium bracket is lightweight, strong and finished with a durable white, grey or black powder coating. Suitable for any flat roof the kit also includes extension cables for flexible mounting position.

The SIM Card is enabled for 5G with selected networks only, with more networks to follow. See opposite for further details. **5G technology is still being deployed across Europe, and is not yet available in all areas. If there is no 5G coverage at a given location, the Roam 5G will connect to a 4G network and still provide fast and reliable 107 mobile internet. Step 4. Choose a SIM Card package The Roam models are designed to work with any data service provider so you are free to use whatever network works best for you! You can use your provider if you already have one in place alternatively if you are choosing a network provider for your Roam it's worth considering coverage for intended travel alongside the best deals and usage. If you travel to Scotland, EE's coverage is regarded superior, whilst Vodafone proves popular for those travelling into Europe. The Three network is generally considered to offer competitive deals. Please check limitations of your network provider and Data SIM, especially when travelling abroad, the number of days abroad, usage, restrictions and roaming charges. It is always a good idea, when travelling abroad to carry a spare SIM which doesn't have a shelf life or expire if not used. Free 5GB loaded SIM Card with every Roam!* Maxview have partnered with Broadband Go to provide a free, multi-network SIM Card with your new Roam Mobile Internet product. The SIM can connect to EETM, 02TM, THREETM and VodafoneTM in the UK, as well as 90+ networks in Europe. This means that if the SIM cannot connect to a particular network, it will automatically switch to a different one, helping you stay connected wherever your adventure takes you. Your 5GB of FREE data is equivalent to 10 hours of TV streaming, 15 hours of video chat or 100 hours of music. BroadbandGo Benefits · Works in UK and Europe · Manage your account and usage in the BBGo app · No contracts Please Note: The Broadband Go SIM Card is provided with no obligation and no purchase necessary.

Easy Set Up Download the Free APP Maxview Roam App from the App Store. Get step-by-step instructions in the Roam App. Start connecting to the internet. New feature! What is MAXSPEED? Allows you to configure your router to maximise connection speed, or coverage at the press of a button. How does MAXSPEED work? Your router is able to connect to a cell tower using a number of different 'bands', covering various frequencies. Some of these bands are great for high speeds, but have limited range, others can travel a long way from a cell tower, but aren't as fast. MaxSpeed can choose which bands to use without having to get into complicated configuration settings of the router. If speed is important, set it to 'Speed' to ensure you are always connected to the fastest bands. If you are in a very rural location, or a busy place like a festival, set it back to 'Coverage' to use whichever bands are available. 11 Roam Basecamp (Portable) No roof mounting, no holes & no fixed location! Model Code BASE/50 Mast shown not included Our new Roam Basecamp is a flexible and versatile omni-directional 4G WiFI internet solution. Suitable for a range of different mobile applications, including motorhomes, caravans and campervans, especially where drilling a hole in the roof is not desirable. It is also ideal for use in fixed locations, such as home offices, mobile homes or lodges, or business applications such as a show vendors, fast food trailers etc. NEW! 4G CAT4 Max Speed 150Mbps Supplied with a Router from our Maxview Roam System, which is tried and tested with 5 years on the market. This is fully enclosed inside a compact but powerful weatherproof antenna assembly and can be easily accessed to change the data SIM card provider. As the router is located in the antenna assembly, there is no signal loss due to long cable runs, optimising 4G and WiFi reception. 12 It includes a secure universal fast slide-in, rust resistant fixing bracket. This allows the system to be temporarily mounted to walls, poles, tripods or any other suitable, secure method onto your vehicle or any other suitable applications. (Reference Maxview's accessories on page 14 and 15). Cabling can be fed simply into the vehicle through an open window, door, or roof light. Only a single cable is required to the antenna, using Power over Ethernet (PoE) to power the router, meaning there are no limitations on cable length. The PoE adaptor also features an additional port for connecting a wired device such as a laptop or TV. Router is pre-fitted and secure inside waterproof antenna enclosure. Pre-fitted with a fast slide-in, stainless steel mounting bracket for pole or wall mounting applications. Includes Pole Clamps for pole mounting.
