John uses the internet to research the places he is visiting He also needs to upload the many photos he takes to illustrate within his books.Using a MiFi device generally gave good performance, but getting a reliable connection in remote areas was difficult.
The Solution
The customer opted to implement a permanent antenna on the roof of his motorhome in order to get the best possible signal during his tours.After looking into a few options for suitable antennas, John decided to use theĀ Poynting MIMO-1-1 antenna.
This antenna is a rugged high-performance vehicle mounted antenna, capable of 2Ć2 MIMO on LTE. Another variant of this antenna, theĀ MIMO-1, which is a 5-in-1 antenna with 2x GSM/3G/LTE, 2x WiFi and a GPS, is also an option.
The external Poynting antenna is connected to a MiFi device which distributes WiFi within the motorhome.
