Recommendations when choosing an external 3G 4G LTE antenna

SHARE WITH FRIENDS:

Currently, the supply of various 4G LTE modem routers in the modem and router market is growing day by day. Most users hope that the internet speed on a 4G network will be faster than 3G. However, due to the fact that 4G network coverage is mainly in the city center, 4G internet speeds are observed to be very low in many regions. Users can use 4G signal boosting antennas without waiting for the mobile operator to take any action on the unsatisfactory signal problem.

Before choosing an antenna, the user must determine whether there is a special place on his modem / router for connecting an external antenna, its number and type. For example, if a user has a 4G LTE Huawei E3272 USB modem from Ucell mobile operator, he can see that there are 2 external antenna connectors on its side. You can then see from the table of external antenna connectors of these modems / routers that the Huawei E3272 external antenna connector is mounted as CRC9 and you need to get an antenna with 2 such connectors to use the external antenna. The fact that the number of connectors is 2 indicates that the modem works on MIMO technology.

Another noteworthy issue is the location of the antenna, the distance between the antenna and the 3G / 4G modem / router. The distance between the antenna mount and the router location determines the cable length. For example, if the Huawei E3272 modem is located close to the window and the antenna is mounted on the edge of the roof of the house, a 5-10 meter cable will suffice. Some think that the longer the cable, the easier it will be to install. However, the longer the cable, the lower the antenna signal amplification. Therefore, you should try to keep the antenna cable as short as possible. If it is not possible to shorten the cable, it is recommended to get a high-quality, low-loss cable.

The good news is that Flytech.uz has a service where the cable length can be tailored to the customer's requirements.
