CradlePoint Antenna Ordering and Installation Guide!

CradlePoint has tested and certiﬁed that the following antennas provide the best mobile broadband performance with CradlePoint

embedded and integrated modem products. These antennas work with all AER, ARC, and COR models that include an integrated

modem, but in some cases may not be optimized for all frequency bands for a particular model (see individual antenna specs). !

In most cases a single antenna connected to the main (primary) antenna port will provide sufﬁcient gain. To see “true” 4G speeds

on LTE – or better performance – 2 external antennas may be used (e.g., 2 antennas may provide 15 Mbps throughput and 1

antenna may only provide 8 Mbps throughput).!

cradlepoint.com Antenna Main and Auxiliary Ports In most cases a single antenna connected to the main antenna port will provide sufficient gain. To see “full” 4G speeds on LTE or for enhanced performance on any modem, 2 external antennas may be used. Extra care must be taken while attaching the cable to the modem. Be careful not to over-torque the SMA connector on the modem. Finger tight is sufficient (the maximum torque spec is 7kgf-cm).
