My boss has aircard service I think through verizon. It offers 188Kbps I believe. However, where he's trying to use it, he has one bar. Will this affect the bandwidth?

Yes. The lower the signal strength, the more dropped packets there will be. These packets need to be resent, lowering the effective throughput.
