Poynting 4G-XPOL-A0001 Cross Polarised 4G Omni LTE Antenna

Product Information

OK then, what I’ll do now is review one item at a time, and then do an overall review of the complete 4G mobile broadband set up. If you decide to go the above route, teaming an external antenna with a good quality 4G router will give the best chance of success. Omni vs Directional So here I’ll share my five Windows 10 data saving tips: to make your data go further when you’re on the road. 1. Turn on metered connection Q6: Last question about MIMO, which one of the below would tell me if I am at my optimal MIMO position? Generally, up to 20 times speed increases are possible between bottom and top when combining increased signal with decorrelated MIMO antennas. Signal strength only increases with a single antenna or two antennas without much decorrelation can give about 10 times speed improvement. FOR 3G/HSPA RSSI:

Network operator flexibility - as the antennas is wideband, a new antenna is not needed per network operator - works on most networks Located on the front of the device is a small display screen (approx 33mm x 33mm) and also the power on button. As mentioned above, most routers use SMA connectors. However, don’t worry if find an antenna you like the look but it has a different style of connectors to that of your router, as SMA to TS9 convertors are available. Recommendations I don’t want to permanently mount the antenna to the campervan for 2 reasons. I would also like to use it in our caravan.

Key Application Areas

Once you’ve successfully connected to the WIFI network you should then see ‘Wi-Fi’ (as opposed to 2G, 3G or 4G) and the networks SSID on the home screen. I’m really getting a good opportunity to thoroughly test out this 4G mobile campervan WiFi gear. We are now staying on the Lizard peninsula which is the most southerly point in the UK. Last time we stayed here ( Silver Sands) I couldn’t get a signal on my Vodafone mobile and not much has changed there. No phone signal, and no 4G. The Poynting Cross Polarised 4G LTE Antenna provides an innovative and future proof solution for 4G / 3G and 2G networks. It is a unique window, wall or pole mountable, dual polarised, full LTE band omnidirectional antenna. Incorporating two separately fed ultra wideband elements in a single housing, the antenna is equipped to provide client side MiMo and diversity support for the networks of today and tomorrow. Gain is min. 4 dBi across all bands: 790-960, 1710-2170, 2300-2400 and 2500-2700 MHz Bands. Incorporating two separately fed ultra wideband elements in a single housing, the antenna is equipped to provide client side MiMo and diversity support for the networks of today and tomorrow. Gain is min. 2 dBi across all bands: 790 – 960, 1710 – 2170, 2300-2400 and 2500 – 2700 MHz Bands. If your mobile provider offers good 4G coverage in the area you’re visiting, then all you need is your mobile phone to get online. A MiFi device like the Huawei E5577C is unnecessary. If you want to use a laptop when you’re away, then just use your phone as a mobile hotspot.

The quality of the rest of the plastic construction is generally pretty good. As are the two 5 metre low loss cables coming out of the bottom. The XPOL-A0001 can be wall, pole or window mounted. I’ve fitted the 4 suction pads for window/bodywork mounting. The XPOL-1-5G is Poynting’s second generation “V2” of this very popular Cross Polarised (XPOL), cellular band, 2×2 MIMO antenna. The addition of a 4X4 MIMO derivative is also available for user specific needs. The antenna has been completely redesigned form the previous generation with an all new enclosure and antenna design. The antenna now includes the newer 3400 – 3800 MHz bands as well as the in demand lower 617 MHz band, which were not previously covered by our V1 and is suitable for 2G, 3G, 4G & 5G. This antenna performs exceptionally well in the following frequency bands: 617 – 960 MHz, 1700 – 2170 MHz, 2300 – 2700 MHz & 3400 – 3800 MHz, with a peak gain of 4 dBi across the frequency bands of operation. I'm trying to improve the performance (connection speed + latency) of my 4G LTE TP-Link MR600 router using Vodafone SIM and a Poynting 4G-XPOL-A0001 antenna. However, if your phone’s network coverage is poor (or not supposed to be available in the area, like I found with EE), then using a MiFi device like the Huawei E5577C connected to a good external antenna like the Poynting XPOL-A0001, can provide great results. Even with a poor signal, using the Huawei E5577C with the XPOL-A0001 antenna gave some impressive 4G broadband speeds. Network providers… A directional antenna only receives the signal from the direction it’s coming from. Whereas an omni-directional antenna receives the signal from every direction (360 degrees). So if you’re using a directional antenna you would need to know which direction the signal is coming from ( this smartphone app does exactly that). You then point the antenna in that direction. Directional antennas work best if you have a clear (unobstructed) line of sight of the mast.

One of the reasons that 4G is faster than 3G is because it allows combining two or more antennas to increase performance. I've read a little bit about RSRP, RSRQ, and SNR from here ( https://www.digi.com/support/knowledge-base/understanding-lte-signal-strength-values) but I can't get my head around the values I have with the antenna. My readings seem very similar and I'm not sure if I should be doing something differently. The most obvious way of getting online is by using a smartphone. However, if the signal in your area is poor or your mobile provider doesn’t cover the area you’re in, then the connection is likely to be patchy and unreliable at best – especially when inside a campervan. (Being in what is basically a metal box, is not the best place to be to get a good mobile signal; the signals strength is dramatically reduced, as most of the signal will be bouncing off the bodywork of the campervan.) What can be done to improve the mobile signal? Before I go any further and explore the other settings in the WiFi manager, I need to turn off the data connection. (This is necessary because all the time the Huawei E5577C is connected to EE, it will be eating into my data allowance.) But, if you disconnect the device from the laptop then you cannot access the WiFi manager. So what do you do?
