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.

Thank you for purchasing a CradlePoint Antenna

Please read all instructions before installing your antenna, and check the parts supplied against those listed in this guide.

CradlePoint’s weatherproof, fiberglass-encased antenna is omni-directional and ideal for many exterior building locations,

such as homes, offices, stores and warehouses.

The innovative design results in high efficiency and low signal loss, which means more signal to your router’s modem. This

multi-band, high-performance, omni-directional antenna supports multiple frequencies (Specifications below). It is backed by

CradlePoint’s 30-day money-back guarantee and 1-year limited warranty.

Determine Your Mounting Location

The antenna should be mounted high on the building with no obstructions. There is a compromise between installing the

antenna as high as possible and keeping the cable run short to reduce signal loss. (The longer your cable, the greater the

signal loss will be.) For cable runs of less than 20 feet (recommended), CradlePoint recommends JefaTech LL400 cable with

N Male, SMA Male connectors (Not sold by CradlePoint). CradlePoint has tested 20 and 50 foot cables from JefaTech and

suggests using this configuration. Using less expensive (often higher loss) cables or using extra adapters with other cables

may result in significantly reduced performance.

Make sure your mounting location is as far away as possible from other antennas and upright objects such as flagpoles. Be

careful not to kink or crush the antenna cable or bend it tightly during installation. This can lead to poor performance and

signal loss. It is important to mount the antenna vertically; mounting horizontally or at an angle will significantly degrade

performance.

When two antennas are used, there must be at least 1’ (12 inches) separation between edges of two antennas. This

spacing will provide enough spatial diversity in outdoor environment for MIMO/diversity operation.
