The product portfolio is anchored by three flagship antennas — The Long Ranger (a +28 dB parabolic log-periodic for extreme rural range), The Arrow 5G (a +12 dBi LPDA), and The Crossbow 5G (a cross-polarized 2x2 MIMO antenna) — supported by The Quicksilver Yagi line, The Blade/Blade XL vehicle antennas, the Bolton Blazer router series, and complete booster kits such as Bolton Victory (home) and Bolton Velocity Trucker XL (vehicle). All major SKUs are 5G-capable and cover 617-6000 MHz, with verified interoperability across Peplink, NETGEAR, and OptConnect cellular routers and weBoost, SureCall, and Cel-Fi booster platforms.

The company runs a hybrid go-to-market combining direct e-commerce (boltontechnical.com plus phone sales), a 'Partner Up' channel program recruiting distributors, installers, integrators, and retailers, an Amazon marketplace presence, and professional installation services via Bolton Install Pros. International operations are conducted through branded regional entities in South Africa and Ghana serving 12+ additional African countries, with export sales to Canada and Australia. Pricing is unit-based with MSRP ranging from approximately $7.95 (barrel connectors) to $249.99 (premium LPDA antennas) and up to roughly $350+ for complete kits, governed by a MAP policy in effect since January 1, 2021.

Core offering

Bolton Technical manufactures and sells RF (radio frequency) accessories — cellular signal boosters, cellular routers, antennas, coaxial cables, connectors/adapters, splitters, mounts, and lightning surge protectors — designed to improve cellular connectivity for homes, businesses, and vehicles. The product line includes proprietary flagship antennas (The Long Ranger, The Arrow 5G, The Crossbow 5G) alongside complete signal booster kits (Bolton Victory, Bolton Velocity) and is sold primarily through direct e-commerce supplemented by a network of authorized distributors, installers, and regional subsidiaries.

Product overview

Bolton Technical is a manufacturer and direct-to-consumer seller of RF (radio frequency) accessories focused on improving cellular signal for homes, businesses, and vehicles. Its product portfolio is organized around two core product lines — cell phone signal boosters (including home kits like the Bolton Victory and vehicle systems like the Bolton Velocity Trucker XL) and cellular routers (Bolton Blazer series) — supported by a broad accessory ecosystem. The antenna lineup is the backbone of the catalog, led by three flagship named products: The Long Ranger (ultra-high gain +28 dB parabolic log periodic for extreme rural range over 10 miles), The Arrow 5G (LPDA directional with +12 dBi gain covering 617-3800 MHz), and The Crossbow 5G (2x2 MIMO cross-polarized antenna available in SMA Male and N-Female versions). Supporting antenna products include The Quicksilver 5G and Quicksilver 4G (Yagi directional, +11 dBi), The Rondo 5G (low-profile ceiling dome), The Cowboy 5G (indoor dome), Blade and Blade XL (5G OTR vehicle antennas), plus LoRaWAN, NMO, and Beacon specialty antennas. Accessories encompass coaxial cables (pre-cut and custom), connectors and adapters (N, F, QMA, SMA, SMB terminations with 0.1 dB attenuation), splitters and couplers (2/3/4-way, -6/-10/-15 dB), lightning surge protectors (50 Ohm N-Female and 75 Ohm F-Female versions), and a full range of vehicle and building antenna mounts. All products are sold through the boltontechnical.com e-commerce site, with bulk/partnership pricing available for integrators, resellers, and distributors.
