Poynting XPOL-2-5G-10 Directiona Antenna

I recently started using a new Telstra Smart WiFi modem (Gen 3) which comes with a 4G LTE sim as a backup network when NBN goes down. Without this antenna, the mobile Internet registers as poor (zero to two bars). i experienced the pain of 2Mbps download speeds for a day with frequent drop out as we live in a telstra blackspot area.I wall mounted the antenna initially but ended up mounting it on an antenna mast just under the eaves (my available cable length prevented me from trying roof mount options). It took a few hours of experimentation to point it in the best direction. The modem still says I have a poor to fair connection (which is better than no connection to poor). I now see two bars of strength instead of one. The connection stability and speed has now been greatly improved as I can achieve a stable connection between 20 to 22 Mbps which is close to the maximum supported on the Telstra 4G backup sim card.I initially had it wall mounted but have since mounted it on a small wall attached TV antenna pole so I can rotate it enough to achieve the optimal speed. I also experimented with Up/Down variation by bending the attachment bracket slightly. I was surprised how directional this antenna is, if I even stray more than about 5 degrees from the LTE access tower I see a sharp drop off of in speed and stability.I tested it for over an hour streaming 4K netflix content to two TVs without any lag or glitches.Something I found useful for determining where to point it is to first identify which tower your modem naturally connects to without any antenna and make note of the MMC, MNC, LAC/TAC and Cell ID codes for that transmitter. Put the values into the "Cell Location Finder" android app to see on a map where the cell tower or smart street light is and position the antenna in that direction.

We are in remote rural area with very slow broadband available, so we rely on 4g mobile signal. Our house has thick stone walls so no signal inside, limited signal outside at ground level. We spent some time finding the best position for the antenna at roof level, and are now receiving 50 - 70 mbps, the fastest we've had here. Very pleased!

Nach intensivster Vorbereitung & Recherche ist die Entscheidung für diese Antenne an einer Fritzbox 6850 5G getroffen. Die Fritzbox wird von fts-henning.de noch umgebaut um 2 externe Antennen anschließen zu können. Der Mast steht in 2700m Entfernung und wurde mit der Android App "Cell Mapper" ausgemessen & lokalisiert. Bei einem Ersten Test an einem anderen Standort schwankte die Qualität mit der noch nicht umgebauten 6850 ohne die Poynting zwischen -115 & -140 db - mit externer Antenne stabile -105 db. Die Antenne ist also noch nicht montiert - und die Bewertung wird aktualisiert!

Cumple con las espectativas

Was only getting two or three bars jumping from one to the other fit this antenna now a solid four bars 24/7, found out where the nearest mast was went on Google Earth drew a line from the mast to the Cabin two miles knew exactly where to point the antenna brilliant
