Omni-Directional Design: The antenna is typically omni-directional, meaning it receives and transmits signals from all directions (360°) simultaneously. This makes it easy to install as it does not require precise aiming toward a specific cell tower .
Multi-Band 4G/LTE Coverage: It supports a broad frequency range to cover global cellular bands. Common coverage includes 690-960 MHz (for lower bands like LTE 700/800/900) and 1710-2700 MHz (for higher bands like LTE 1800/2100/2600) . This ensures compatibility with most major 4G networks.
3 dBi Typical Gain: Many compact models in this category feature a 3 dBi gain . This provides a modest boost over a device's internal antenna, which is often sufficient for improving reception in areas with moderate signal strength.
3-Metre RG58U Cable: The antenna is supplied with a 3-metre coaxial cable, commonly of the RG58U type . While 3 meters is manageable, RG58U is a thin cable with relatively high signal loss at cellular frequencies, so this length is at the upper end of what is generally recommended for this cable type .
SMA Male Connector: The connection is typically an SMA male connector, which is standard for many 4G routers and modems. Some kits may include adapters for other connector types .
Weatherproof for Outdoor Use: Designed for mounting outdoors (on walls or poles), these antennas usually have an IP65 rating, meaning they are protected against dust and water spray from any direction .
