Hello everybody,
I have a customer who is using Vodafone RBI connection. The nearest tower is about 5km away, transmitting on 900 Mhz. There is also another one about 10 km away, transmitting on both 700 and 900 Mhz. He has very marginal cellphone coverage that works in specific spots of his farm.
His connection was ok in winter, getting about 2.5 Mbps down and 1 up. With the trees having more leaves now, it deteriorated so it barely works most of the time. Speedtest shows about 1 Mbps down and 0.1 up, with pings increased from 80 to 300+.
The antenna he is using is this - https://www.gowifi.co.nz/700-directional/ant-100.html
Wondering if there are better options... Cellutronics website shows that 700 Mhz 4G coverage is better. We tried this antenna (
https://www.gowifi.co.nz/700-directional/ant-205.html) in winter and his speed was actually less than with the 3G only antenna.
Cellutronics also sells an exactly the same looking antenna here (https://www.cellutronics.co.nz/shop/directional-log-periodic-antenna-ay15) but they claim theirs is 15db. Has anyone tried it?
