You will need two TS-9 (F) to SMA (F) pigtail cables. Furthermore, the video below demonstrates how the customer should connect the said router with our MIMO 3-14 antenna [video_popup url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IcKsmvzOl6c"...
To understand the difference you need to review the below 2 Parts.
Part 1: MIMO As A Method
Part 2: 4×4 MIMO On A Technology
We often get asked for suggestions of routers that will work with the Poynting 4x4 MIMO Antennas. Please find a list of routers that you can use with our antennas. This list was created June 2023 and will be updated from time to time.Below you will find a list of...
Which low profile Poynting antenna is suitable for my vehicle? “Oh, I’ve just installed one of your antennas on my caravan 2 months ago and now you have brought out a better one?”This was a question we got from one of our customers after releasing the MIMO-4 Antenna....
Boating and sailing are popular pastimes in the UK and owning a boat or yacht can be a way for people to enjoy these activities and explore the country’s waterways. Although you want to be able to get away from it all, while on your vessel, a good internet connection is always a good idea.
Have you considered getting an internet connection on your boat or yacht? Below is a list of items you will have to purchase to install LTE or 4G internet on your vessel.
Whether you own or are managing a charter yacht, fast internet is crucial. Guests will expect to have fast and reliable internet access while they are on board. This is particularly true if the yacht is being used for a business or corporate charter, as guests will likely need to stay connected to their work while on board. Additionally, guests may want to use the internet for personal use, such as for social media, streaming video, or making phone calls. Having fast internet on board will help to ensure that guests are satisfied with their experience and that they are able to stay connected while on the yacht.
At the end of November we conducted a webinar titled: ePoynt (ing) your Router, where we discussed Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) and Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) applications.
Question: What happens to the router or radio if you only terminate one antenna port with an antenna? I have been led to believe that this will cause (quite much) of the energy to be reflected - like an antenna with terrible VSWR and that this will harm the radio over...

This question is from a customer that has a 4×4 MIMO router with 2 external antenna connectors. Will connecting a 2×2 MIMO Antenna to the router give worse performance than not connecting any antenna?
Question: The customer that asked this has a HUAWEI B818-263 Router which is a 4x4 MIMO router with 2 external antenna connectors. He is worried that connecting a 2x2 MIMO Antenna to the router will give worse performance than not connecting any antenna. Answer: The...
FAQ: I’m considering the PUCK-2 or the MIMO-3-V2-12 on a camper? Can you tell me whats the difference between two antennas?
Question:I measure zero Ohm between the inner and outer of the coaxial cable, is there is a short circuit on the antenna? Answer:At Poynting we consider various safety aspects when designing the antennas. Some of our antennas are designed with DC shorts or a path to...
Improve your remote working experience using outdoor antennas The world is in the grip of COVID-19 and within weeks the way we do business have changed. Where remote working was a luxury for selected employees in technologically advanced companies, businesses had to...
Question: Can my external antenna cause my neighbours to lose their mobile voice signal? Answer: Simple answer is that there is no chance of interfering with your neighbours voice (or data) communications: The frequency bands used for voice calls and data transmission...
Question: We received this questions from a customer that wants to use 2 x LPDA-92 for MIMO. He asked: “Can I place these on a pole with one at the top and one below about 3 feet (90cm) apart? Would they or should they both be facing same tower and direction?” Answer:...
The polarisation of an antenna is the orientation of the radio wave (electric field) transmitted from the antenna. Antenna polarisation is often vertically polarised or horizontally polarised, but we also have polarisation at any other angle, e.g. ‘+’ (0, 90 degrees)...
Question: Why is my router performance worse AFTER I connected an external antenna? Written by Stephen Froneman. Here are some of the reasons you might be experiencing a worse performance after connecting an external antenna: Internal / External Antenna Selection:...
Question: I currently install 2500MHz for 5G technology, we are getting a lot of RSSI alarms. I use low PIM loads to find the issue. Issue always appears when installed on antenna, do you have any suggestions on what it can be? Answer: Two comments may help. Firstly...
To elaborate on the following question: Customers noted that in some cases the LTE antennas on the Mobile Network Operator’s tower is polarized +-45 degrees and sometimes vertically polarised (0 degrees). They wanted to know if they should match the polarization of...
Poynting has designed and patented their circular polarised MinePoynt “HELI” antenna, which was specifically developed for mining tunnels more than 20 years ago. This antenna was far ahead of its time, and the company has experienced exponential sales over the recent...
Provided that you are within the 3G/LTE signal range a suitable antenna will provide you with higher data rates as your signal to noise ratio is increased, thus a better transfer rate can be achieved.A high gain antenna mounted outside in a fixed position aligned with...
No. Line of sight (LOS) is always desirable but not a critical requirement to establishing good performance. Using a fixed outdoor Poynting antenna improves performance and reliability for 3G/4G LTE even though line of site is not available. Check your service...
We recently had the following questions from a customer and thought it might be useful for other people installing an LTE or 3G antenna at your house or office for fixed broadband. “I hope you can assist me. I have an XPOL-0006 antenna that I need to install. From the...
The following question was raised by a customer of ours regarding the correlation coefficient of a spatially separated vs. a cross polarised antenna. Although the question is very specific we feel it will help customers with the general concept of spatially separated...
We often receive questions regarding the orientation of the uni-directional antenna (aka directional antenna) such as our XPOL-2 or LPDA-92 antennas. This is sometimes a simple task to achieve, but can also become complicated as there are so many aspects which...
We recently had these questions about spatial separation and cross polarization on our YouTube channel: Question: So, is larger spatial separation needed in addition to cross polarization, or does cross polarization alone provide adequate de-correlation? Also, what is...
