FAQ
What frequency ranges does this antenna cover?
This antenna covers three frequency ranges: 698 MHz to 960 MHz for lower cellular bands, 1710 MHz to 3800 MHz for higher cellular and optional Wi-Fi bands, and 1562 MHz for GPS/GNSS signals. This multi-band support allows it to handle 2G, 3G, 4G cellular networks, GPS positioning, and wireless data applications in a single unit.
What is the antenna gain and why is it important?
The antenna has a gain of 26 dB, which measures how effectively it amplifies signals in a specific direction. A higher gain like 26 dB improves signal strength and range, reducing dropout and enhancing performance in areas with weak coverage. This is crucial for reliable cellular, GPS, and Wi-Fi connections in challenging environments.
How does the omni-directional design benefit installation?
The omni-directional design radiates and receives signals equally in all horizontal directions, providing 360-degree coverage. This eliminates the need for precise antenna alignment during setup, making installation faster and more flexible. It ensures consistent signal reception regardless of orientation, ideal for broad-area coverage in networks.
What connector type is used and is it compatible with standard cables?
This antenna uses an SMA connector, a common interface in networking and RF applications. SMA connectors are widely compatible with coaxial cables and devices, offering secure connections that minimize signal loss. This standard ensures easy integration with existing cabling infrastructure without requiring adapters.
