CradlePoint Antenna Ordering and Installation Guide

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

performance with CradlePoint embedded and integrated modem products.

Low loss coax cable with the N Male to SMA Male connectors OR an N Male to SMA Male adapter

is REQUIRED to attach these antennas to CradlePoint products. The cable and accessories can be

purchased at http://www.jefatech.com/category/cradlepoint. Antennas all come with N Female

connectors with about 8” of cable. CradlePoint ARC and COR products have SMA Female connectors.

See the next page for details.

We recommend the following packages for each product for best results. 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. (eg. 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 and the maximum torque spec is 7kgf-cm.

cradlepoint.com Multi-Band Omni-Directional Antenna How It Works CradlePoint’s Dual-Band Omni-Directional Antenna will collect the cell tower signal and send it through the cable to the integrated or embedded CradlePoint modem and router. When the modem transmits, the signal is transferred directly to the antenna and broadcasted back to the cell tower.
