Other Antenna Selections
	WMM-7-27: 3G/ 4G Multiband Outdoor MIMO Diversity Antenna (2.5dBi) Note: Covers: 698-960 MHz, 1710-2700 MHz (LTE Band13, Cellular, PCS, AWS, WiFi, WiMax) this is a dual-antenna for MIMO diversity. Contains two cables connectors one for the Primary Antenna Port and one for auxiliary antenna port. note that this is a low-gain antenna (unity gain) and as such should be used where the outdoor signal is relatively strong. note that this comes with a 16FT cable (we will provide appropriate connectors). If you need longer runs just add cable from dropdown list. select your modem pigtail below (we will include dual pigtails when you add pigtails together with this antenna)
	VA25-16-NF: 2.5 - 2.7 GHz 16 dBi Yagi Antenna. Use as primary or secondary antenna when a low-profile is desired/required.
	HG2609U: 2.5 - 2.7 GHz WiMax 8.5 dBi Omni Antenna Replaces the 12dBi omni when not as much gain is needed and when a shorter antenna is required. This is 20" long vs 45" for the 12dBi.
	RFWAT2P5GDNF: 2.3 GHz - 2.7 GHz 24dBi WiMax Grid Antenna Used primarily to overcome cable losses for long cable runs ~100ft+
	301124: 1800-1990 MHz 13dBi 3G PCS Yagi Antenna 3G Only.
	295-PW: 9dBi Multi-Band Omni-Directional Cellular Antenna 3G Only.
Contact us to replace with other WiMax band antennas For other Cellular band (850MHz/1900MHz/AWS) antennas see out cellular-antenna selection page. For 4G LTE pigtails & antennas see our LTE page.
LMR-400 Low Loss Cable
Attenuation at 2.7GHz	~7.1dB/100ft 10ft cable - 0.7dB loss 20ft cable - 1.4dB loss 30ft cable - 2.1dB loss 50ft cable - 3.5dB loss 100ft cable - 7.1dB loss (contact us for LMR-600 cable for runs > 100ft)
Average Power Handling Max	320 W

Included Components:

Antenna (select 4G 18dBi Panel or 4G 12dBi Omni or 3G/4G 8dBi LPDA antenna) ⁱ
LMR-400 Low Loss Coaxial Cable (select length or contact us for LMR-600 cable for runs > 100ft)
Pigtail specific to modem option selected below ⁱⁱ
Appropriate adapter to allow pigtail selected to mate to coaxial cable. Often N-Female/FME-Female connector since most pigtails have FME-Male port and coaxial cable has N-Male port.
Optional lightning protection & jumper cable (STRONGLY RECOMMENDED if mounting antenna outdoors)

i) NOTE: To boost both 3G and 4G for the Sierra 250U select the 8dBi LPDA antenna. If interested only in boosing 4G select the higher gain 18dBi panel antenna (Note that we no longer carry the 16dBi standalone panel antenna).

ii) NOTE: kit includes a single antenna. To install two external antennas you need to select Quantity=2 (learn when you can get away with one antenna in this article). The Sierra 250U needs a special pigtail when using two external antennas which we will provide when we see two kits on the same order. If you need to order the 2nd antenna later but want to have the dual-pigtail added to this order just select the "Sierra 250U 3G/4G Modem Dual Pigtail" option on the drop-down list below otherwise if you are ordering Quantity=2 then leave the default Sierra 250U pigtail and we will include the dual pigtail.

USB & CPE Modems Supported (select your modem from drop-down list below)
	Port Type	WiMax Modem
	Hirose MS-147	Clear 4G USB Modem (PXU-1900) Sprint 4G USB U1901

	Sierra Modems	Sierra 250U 3G/4G Modem (Series S) - Uses TS9 Connector Sierra Aircard 802s (Sprint Overdrive Pro)

	SMA-Jack (Female)	Select SMA-Plug (Male) from drop-down Myungmin MWC2520 Seowon Intech SWC-5100 Zyxel MAX-206M2 Cradlepoint MC100W CLEAR Hub Express

	U.FL ⁱⁱⁱ	Gemtek WIXB-175 (Clear Series G Modem) Gemtek WIXBR-117 (Clear Modem with WiFi) ZTE TU25 USB Modem Used by several Mini PCI Express Modules for example: Franklin Wireless M600W Intel® Centrino® Advanced-N + WiMAX 6250 Intel 5150 WiMax Beceem BCSM250 (Used in Sierra Wireless AC W801 - Spring Overdrive) Several laptops with embedded modules use this Note that the U.FL is NOT designed for frequent matings.

	Franklin U600	Franklin U600 (select between 3G only pigtail, 4G only pigtail or dual pigtail for 3G/4G. For 3G select LPDA antenna above or order other 3G-only cellular antennas separately)

	Samsung SWC-E100	Samsung SWC-E100 TS9 Connector

	CRC9	Huawei BM622

	Murata SWD	Motorola CPEi 725 Motorola CPEi 25150 Not currently Stocked. Learn more or Contact us for update.

	No Port - Inductive Coupler	Franklin U300 ^iv

You may order additional pigtails separately.

iii) NOTE: No external antenna port. Requires drilling hole through case which voids warranty. U.FL NOT designed for frequent matings. See forums for more.

iv) NOTE: Doesn't have an external antenna port so relies on a passive inductive coupler. Works well ONLY when outdoor signal is very strong and best suited for cases where building/ enclosure construction is shielding an otherwise good outside signal. Doesnt work well for the Franklin U301!

icon_exclamation It is the users responsibility to ensure that any client antennas used don't cause the radiated power to exceed regulatory limits. Remember that too much directional gain is just as bad as too little. For help in RF link budget analysis please ask. These antennas are not intended to extend coverage outside official coverage zone but rather for improving in-building coverage as discussed in this article.
