Proxicast 4G/5G External Magnetic Antenna - 7 dBi Loaded Coil - SMA + TS9

These are really quite outstanding for the price for a 2x2 MIMO setup. I just replaced an older pair of LTE-only Proxicast models with these and I have them mounted on our camper about 5 feet apart, using [EZlifego[ASIN:B07YB1ZXG6]] two-sided tape and then I use silicone caulk around the base and 3M adhesive cable ties for the wires that I run through the existing solar entry gland. With the old antennas (that have the same bases) I have had no problem with highway speeds, rain, snow, or anything - that tape is really impressive. I have also used a pair of the old antennas at freeway speeds on my Jeep magnetically - again I used the EZLifego tape to adhere 2 inch pieces of metal strapping to the roof and then popped the antennas on the metal with their magnets and that worked great. I don't doubt that people have been less successful on other surfaces, particularly curved ones, but it worked great for me. In terms of performance, I'm using a Nighthawk M6 Pro and the camper has an aluminum frame, so the frame tends to attenuates the signal. In my first test, without the antennas the Nighthawk got an RSRP of -107, and with the antennas that improved to -96. SINR also improved. Most of the expensive 2x2 MIMO antennas ($200+) put both tiny antennas in a small housing, but 5G does way better when the antennas are further apart and it can better aggregate the signals. That test was an urban setting, so lots of crowded spectrum and multipath all over, and I managed to get almost 400mbps down on a speed test - this was with an LTE PCC on B66 and an SCC on N77 for 5G on Verizon. And my AT&T badged M6 Pro can't even receive B13! These are a very good product for the money. Also, I like that the antennas screw into the base so they can be easily removed when putting a cover over your camper or car - that is an improvement over the old models. Another improvement is that they terminate with SMA connectors and include TS-9 adapters. The older models were TS-9 only. Yes, the wires are thin so the 10 foot length should not be extended and the expensive antennas will have much better cable for longer runs, but if you can live with 10 feet this is a great value. Have I said that?

Good product per son.helps with dead spots here in AZ.

UPDATE: Complete pieces of junk. After 10-15 minutes of highway driving, one fell apart (magnet and bottom sticker stayed on roof, antenna went flying, pulled over and it was dangling from the coax cable. Pushed the magnet back in and tried again in case it was a fluke and then a few minutes later, the other antenna did the same thing. Very, very poor construction. Coax shield isn't even soldered to ground magnet, it's just wedged between the plastic base and the magnet. Avoid these at all costs and get something better. Initial impression is good. Fairly good construction, signal strength at my house is as expected. Will be working at an event that is in a very poor 4G/5G coverage area this weekend so I'll know more later. But I'm hopeful, these have to be better than the two paddle antennas that I've got now.

Before this we would get 0-2 bars signal. After positioning it on our roof at the distance and turning it as they specified we get constant 2 bars of signal. I wish the connection to the modem would screw in instead of sliding in but that's not there fault its just how it's made. Sometimes out cats accidentally knock the connection out of the modem but again it's just the way it's made. When are cats aren't laying on our modem the connection stay in perfectly.

This external magnetic antenna is well made and performs as expected. The magnetic base holds securely, the cable feels solid, and the connectors fit properly. I’ve had no issues with performance, and it’s been a simple, reliable upgrade for improving signal where needed. Installation was straightforward and hassle-free. Nothing fancy, just a quality antenna that works.

My review is for the Proxicast "4G/5G External Magnetic Antenna - 7 dBi Loaded Coil - SMA + TS9". I purchased this pair of mini antennas for my GL.inet MUDI7 4G/5G cellular Hotspot. I'm using this Hotspot on T-Mobile and after hooking them up, my gain increased from 2 bars to 4 bars, when placing the antennas at least 24" apart on the table. It's unscientific but makes the point at least on initial impressions. The bases are lighter than I hoped but for the money I am very pleased.

One of the two ts9-sma adapter provided is somehow mis-machined and becomes too loose. Otherwise this provides ok signal.

Works but only picks up n25. Could only get N41 for a split second. Tried for hours. My internal antenna is better.

Great antenna for improving cell signal

Ces antennes fonctionnent très bien et je peux constater une amélioration significative du signal. Toutefois, les connecteurs TS9 fournis sont problématiques. De mon côté, impossible de les insérer. J’ai dû en acheter d’autres pour connecter mon routeur. Donc, si vous avez le choix, n’achetez que les antennes et acheter vos connecteurs TS9 ailleurs. Vous épargnerez…
