5G Antennas

4 5G Antennas:

  • Main - Right Back

  • MIMO - Right Front

  • Aux - Left Back

  • MIMO2 - Left Front

Best Practice - To improve the speed and reliability of the Cellular communication link, attach all four Cellular antennas.

Notes:

  • You must attach all provided WiFi antennas to the appliance.

  • The Quantum Spark appliance supports the use of Cellular antennas from other vendors. If you use an adapter from the RP-SMA to the desired connector, this can cause additional signal loss and attenuation.

  • Many mobile carriers require a minimum Total Radiated Power (TRP), which requires an efficient antenna. Make sure the product outputs sufficient power to meet the TRP minimum but does not exceed the FCC and IC EIRP limits.
