This robust, outdoor high gain antenna comes with a 7m cable terminated in a SMA (m) connector. It has a gain of 9.5 dBi and covers the 824-1000 MHz and 1700-2170 MHz frequency bands. It is just over 300mm long, has a UV treated plastic radome cover and packs a real punch, performance is nearly identical to it's 11dBi big brother but costs substantially less.
Using this antenna to improve data reception: To improve your HSDPA/3G/GPRS/EDGE reception, you will also need to purchase an adapter for your specific 3G card or 3G USB device. We have adapters available for HUAWEI, NOVATEL, OPTION and SIERRA WIRELESS cards, as well as the HUAWEI USB device, please contact us should you require more information regarding the correct cable.
An improved signal will provide you with higher data rates as your signal to noise ratio is increased, thus a better transfer rate can be achieved.
Because the antenna is mounted outside in a fixed position this will also result in a more stable signal.
Please bear in mind that the HSDPA/3G/GPRS/EDGE data rate will also be affected by the number of subscribers on line at a particular time, so you may have great throughput in the mornings and late evenings and during the day this may drop.
Using this antenna to improve cellular voice reception: This antenna can also be used in conjunction with our Generic Adapter to improve voice reception. The adapter is placed against the phone, and it couples to the internal antenna to absorb the signal. This will also improve your signal if you use your phone as a normal modem.
Cellular Antennas and your health: While antennas do transmit and receive electromagnetic waves, they do not amplify the signal, but merely focus the signal. Using an antenna, which is mounted outside, actually moves the radiation away from where people reside and thus minimise any possible effects radiation could have. A cellphone used during a normal call, when placed against ones ear, exposes you to far more radiation than an antenna a few meters away from you.
