Poynting Antennas and Wilson Antennas

I’m posting this here mostly for my own future reference:

I’ve been using tri-band antennas from Wilson Antennas, but unfortunately they don’t actually work in the places where you need the antennas because, well they’re made for the US-based frequencies (e.g. 1900, rather than 1800)

Jeff Wishnie from Inveneo points out this antenna for boosting signal strength:

This high gain, wide band, directional antenna covers the GSM900 and GSM1800 / UMTS bands. The kit contains the antenna with 7 m cable and the Universal Cellphone Adapter packaged into a sturdy box with detail instructions on installation and use. This antenna covers the 900 and 1800 MHz band which is used in built up areas.

Features:

* Broadband
* Covers various international cellular bands.
* Robust and weatherproof.

This antenna can be bought with the applicable cables for the different cards. Versions are available for:

* Vodacom OPTION Card
* Vodacom NOVATEL Card
* Vodacom HUAWEI Card
* MTN Sierra Wireless Card
* MTN HUAWEI Card
* Cell C NOVATEL Card
