Magnetic base antenna with contact with SMA male

A broadband magnetic base antenna with 7dBi gain that is easy to place on e.g. a windowpane. Provides good amplification on all 3G and 4G networks. This magnetic base fits all 3G and 4G networks in use today.

Conditions for good reception
Place the magnetic base outdoors, on a flat and magnetic surface. In many cases, the window sill is a good location. If you live in a villa with an upper floor, put it as high as you can. This creates the best conditions for the antenna to get good reception. It is also good if it is on the same side of the house that faces the base station, if you are unsure, try to find the best location.

Suitable for modems and routers with SMA connector such as Huawei E5186 or B593 .

The antenna is 450mm long including magnetic base.

Frequency range	700-900/1800-2100/2400-2700 MHz (see explanation of frequency band below)
Gain	7 dBi
Impedance	50 Ohm
VSWR	2.0:1
Cable	RG174, 4.8m
Magnetic foot	60 mm with strong magnet

Tips for extra good reception, if your modem has double antenna inputs, you can advantageously use 2 antennas to maximize reception. Place the antennas about 1m apart.

Frequency bands
When choosing an antenna, pay attention to which frequency bands the antenna supports.
The following frequencies are used today in mobile broadband:

450 MHZ - Net1 (CDMA450) not compatible with GSM, 3G-UMTS or 4G-LTE
800 MHz - 4G/LTE outside the big cities. Provides long range.
900 MHz - Primarily 2G/GSM but expansion is underway for 3G and 4G. Provides long range.
1800 MHz - 2G/GSM. In the future (2013-2014) expansion of 4G on this band will occur
2170 MHz - 3G in all of Sweden normally up to 3 km range.
2600 MHz - 4G/LTE in Large cities /City. Extremely short range. Often less than 500m.

Explanation of frequency bands

When choosing an antenna, pay attention to which frequency bands the antenna supports. Depending on which operator and where the antenna will be used, the frequency bands vary. Larger cities use 2600MHz while smaller towns use 800/900MHz with some support bands in between such as 1800/2100MHz.

A higher frequency band gives a higher speed but also has a shorter range. The same applies to the antenna, if you have a base station that transmits on 2600MHz, your antenna, antenna cable and the location of the antenna become more important than on a lower frequency band. Explanation of signal loss we will go through soon. Higher frequency bands also mean shorter range from the base station.

450MHz (coverage band) also known as the Net1 band is the frequency band that covers the most area in Sweden. Therefore, Net1 is known to be able to have reception where other operators don´t have a chance, but with low download and upload speeds. The reason why this band is called Net1 is because that the company Net1 has exclusive rights to this frequency band.

800MHz (coverage band) is used by all common operators, excluding Net1. The low frequency band means that 800MHz covers a lot of space. Therefore, the band is used outside big cities or smaller towns. 800MHz is the most used frequency band around Europe.

900MHz (coverage band) is the band that Tele2 and Telenor initially used as coverage band. 900MHz is a more unusual LTE band and in the beginning the band caused some problems when the clients (mobile phones etc.) could not connect to 900MHz. Today, the mobile phone manufacturers have adapted the mobile phones to be able to communicate on 900MHz.

1800MHz (capacity band) is the latest frequency band launched. All operators today use this band in metropolitan centers (apart from Net1).

2600MHz (capacity band) is a very well-used frequency band all over Europe. 2600MHz is the highest frequency band used for LTE, this means that the band also has the shortest range compared to 800/900MHz. Due to the high capacity, the band is used in metropolitan environments where many base stations are required to cover as much surface as possible and have as high a capacity as possible.
