From past experience with many happy clients and successful installations, we can confidently say that mounting a permanently fixed outdoor external antenna solves most problems. The question of antenna gain is not always well understood as atmospheric conditions such...
Your local antenna supplier will be able to assist you, but consider the following when choosing your Poynting antenna:If you have a very poor signal in a rural area of far from a base station and you are able to mount the antenna outside, choose a directional antenna...
A slow connection directly influences your online experience. Generally, the outdoor signal is about -20db stronger than the signal indoors. Indoor performance is therefore greatly compromised. By mounting a fixed external antenna and coupling it via the cable to the...
Most routers and modems have antenna connectors that you can connect directly to a Poynting antenna. In the videos below we show you how to connect your antenna to your router.How to connect a Poynting antenna directly to a router. In this case it is the Poynting...
There are a multitude of websites and online measurement tools that can track the speed of your connection.Test the speed before installing the antenna and then again after you have connected to the new antenna. That way you will be able to calculate the improvement...
Our antennas do not contain active electronics that require power and are not susceptible or vulnerable to typical lightning damage. Simply attach the connector at the end of the cable to the router and the antenna is ready for use.Lightning protection can be added at...
People sometimes want to paint antennas to camouflage them. Our antennas can be painted as long as you paint it with a paint that contains no metal. Latex paints should work well as do most common spray paints that adhere to plastic. Most paints won’t stick very well...
The antenna offers the opportunity to receive the signal from an outdoor environment which is not prone to the multi-path fading experienced in an indoor environment.There is a 10-20 dB advantage when receiving the signal in an outdoor open space environment as...
Most of the antennas manufactured by Poynting are shipped with a connector or bracket that allows you to fasten the antenna to a wall – by drilling holes and fixing the connector to the antenna and the wall or by fitting it to a pole, with a U-clamp that connects...
A fixed external antenna installed outdoors, connected via a cable to an indoor 3G/4G router will provide excellent indoor Wi-Fi performance. In a typical 3G/4G LTE installation the router shall allow up to 32 users to simultaneously connect to the internet via a...
Extending the range of Wi-Fi coverage in a house can be done in two ways: Firstly, by plugging in a range extender at more or less the place where the wi-fi signal disappears. The benefit of a range extender is that it does not require any cabling, but it does have a...
To find the best solution to increase throughput and signal speed with an antenna several dimensions should be considered. Indoor / outdoor: If you can mount it, a suitable outdoor antenna can deliver much better performance Directional (panel, LPDA) or...
There is always debate on if and how which type of electromagnetic fields are influencing the health condition of humans. So far, there is no scientific evidence that the frequencies and signal strengths typically used in 3G/LTE have any negative influence. With...
Are LTE antennas backward compatible with different GSM network protocols such as 3G?Yes, all our antennas are backwards compatible with 4G, 3G, 2G (edge) and GPRS protocols. Some models even cover the ISM or unlicensed bands used by Wi-Fi.Have a look at this antenna...
