You know what? The Somerset West Cellphone tower for The Mall. its a mall in western cape. i went there with my Huawei B525 router and got STRONG Signal without antennas according to the Huawei Band tool. RSRP -75 dBm RSRQ -10 dBm RSSI -51 dBm SINR 30 dBm The bandwidth is 51,200 Kbps "Fifty One Thousand 200" Killobits per second. 6.4 MB/Second on Vodacom LTE.
Its a good video but there are a bit of grey areas. Were they connecting to the same tower, what is the mimo and CA capabilities of the Phone and the unit you are using to name a few.
Hi Dilhan - we cannot get hold of Matthias to answer your questions, but our tech support says this: The major point about this test is the indoor/outdoor Antenna issue. The Phone is located inside the Vehicle whilst the Router now has the ability to connect to Signals from Towers outside the Vehicle due to the Outside Antenna. As per our calculation in our Webinars and Videos, the Signal Loss is anywhere between 16dB - 20dB (that's 40x to 100x) from outside-to-inside and, that is for 'bricks/mortar/glass' of a Building, inside a Vehicle where the 'shell' is mostly metal, the Signal loss will even be more.
It looks like you had the MIMO-1 previously. It would be interesting to know if the new antenna is a significant improvement? And are you sure this version of the Mimo-3 uses the vehicle as a ground plane? I saw earlier versions that had a metal nut and spigot; this version with a plastic connection onto a non-metal roof, I guess this is no longer the case?
Took my Poynting MIMO to my Motorhome dealer as I didn’t want to risk my warranty fitting it myself as the Motorhome is only 3 month old. The dealer refused to fit it because of the flimsy plastic spigot and the poor sealing. The technician also stated that he didn’t feel it was a good idea drilling 6 holes in the roof. He also told me what I suspected that it would only be comparable with a campervan such as a VW Transporter with a thin steel roof and not a Motorhome with a 70mm cavity. Be warned.
Hello, my frind and myself did an install on an new Adria Caravan. Adria did support a do it yourself installation. For the mouniting of the unit drilling one hole for cabling and mounting is more then sufficient. Please have a look at this video: ua-cam.com/video/RlWruIarWaM/v-deo.html. I trust this will take away some of your doubts.
Very very good in a rural Area!

is it possible with this antenna to scan the environment to find free wifi? what is the difference between this antenna and a Mikrotik Metal-2SHPn?
I am thinking about the best position for the antenna, on the side like this example or better in the middle?
Spoiler alert for the big panned camera reveal...he has a motorhome!

what router i need to connect this antenna?

can give you Seriously Fast speeds in outlying areas if the Cellphone tower is close to you :)
