Proxicast 4G / LTE / 5G Cross-Polarized (MIMO) 7-10 dBi High-Gain Fixed-Mount Outdoor Directional Panel Antenna (ANT-129-001)

Worked perfect for me with the mofi4500. I’m 10+ miles away from nearest tower And I live on an island. Our only source of internet is 1.5mb/s Verizon dsl service. I was barely getting signal with the stock paddle antennas on the mofi And it’ll drop signal a lot, but the speeds were significantly better compared to island internet. I put this proxicast antenna up in my attic facing the general direction of the cell tower that’s 10+ miles away And now it’s keeping the signal steadily. It hasn’t dropped signal once and now I’m able to get consistent internet speeds of around 10mb/s download with sometimes hitting 20mb/s download speeds during off peak hours. Doesn’t sound like much but for someone on mainland with cable internet but in my situation using that slow dsl speeds the last 6 years, it’s been a blast to be able to stream hd content without buffering. I’m sure I could get even better speeds if I put it outside, up higher(lots of trees and houses around me blocking a clear line of sight), and played around to get better signal. But for right now I am super happy with this product to let me enjoy some speeds I didn’t think I could get way out here in the middle of no where on an island. Definitely would recommend.

I purchased this for use in a rural area for a log house with a metal roof that is about 2 miles from the nearest LTE tower but it is not line if sight due to terrain and forest (I live in the Pacific Northwest - lots of big fir trees). I paired this antenna with a MOFI4500-4GXeLTE-SIM7-COMBO 4G/LTE Router connected by 25' of paired coax. Without the Proxicast connected to the router I was getting signal strength in the -110 dB range inside the house and about -103 dB outside at first floor level. With the Proxicast attached and mounted about 10' up, the signal strength improved to -95 dB range after spending time to get it pointed at the tower. With that relatively small change I was able to get a much more stable connection and substantively faster upload and download speeds. With the MOFI4500 inside by a window and using the stock antenna, I ran tests with speedtest.net and was getting download speeds of between 9 and 10 Mbs and upload speeds of between 1 and 2 Mbs. This was OK for emails etc but not for video calls or movie streaming. After setting up the Proxicast and getting it pointed optimally, I was getting download speeds on the 45-50 Mbs range and upload speeds between 10 and 15 Mbs.

I'm on ATT 5G and this antenna covers the low and middle frequencies available to me out here in the middle of nowhere.AT&T n5, n77, n260 850MHz (low), 3.7GHz (mid), 39GHz (mmW)This is going to be a "highly" technical review here.Out here in the boonies, we don't get too gud a signal. According to them fancy signal apps I am 2-3 miles from the nearest tower, which would be great if I had a clear line of sight. However, being backwoods and isolationists (whew, look at them big words!) we are surrounded by trees. Big ones, densely packed so that if one fell, it'd be like dominos!Ok ok enough with the banter.I just upgraded from a MOFI Sim4 to a Netgear Nighthawk M6 Pro. Ya know what my old antennas weren't rated for? 5G.So I figured why not, ima snag this here antenna and throw it up on the pole my triangle ones were mounted on. One antenna, two cords, so I reckon this has MIMO capabilities as per the listing.I know my router had quite a bit to do with the boost in speeds, however I was still getting around 20mbps download tops with the old triangle ones. Installed this, fiddled with the direction (TLAR) and now i'm getting 50mbps.For the technical minded:Before this antenna (old ones):RSRP (strength) = -115dbRSRQ (quality) = -12db to -15dbAfter:RSRP (strength) = -95db to -105dbRSRQ (quality) = -10db to -12dbDoesn't seem like a huge improvement, but lemme tell ya, those small gains make a BIG difference in practical usage.Only time will tell how "weatherproof" this one is, my last Triangle ones were full of water when I took them down. They were supposedly weatherproof too.Came in factory packaging, included mounting hardware (angle bracket, two u-bolt style clamps with teeth plate, and associated nuts n bolts) and was simple to install.I'm thinking I should shorten my 25' LMR200 cable as i've got a good bit of it coiled up just before the antenna, I could probably go with 15' and get even better results.IF you're still here, thanks for reading, TLDR: Give it a shot. It'll probably help. Build quality is good, and seems to work.

Bought it for sim router hotspot,Installed on the roof and compared to the indoor router with stock antennas it increased the internet speed up to 3 times! I had like 2mb/s data and when connected to this antenna I got 7.8mb/s pretty happy with it,I hope this thing lasts long so I can enjoy good internet!(I think you should have at least some kind of weak signal in your area in order to use this,if there is no any signal coming maybe nothing will help at all, so consider this)
