Looking for one that has at least 2 leads for LTE, 1 for WiFi and the 1 for the GPS. The higher gain, the better. Application- center punch roof mount to the in-car Cradlepoint. Looking for WiFi coverage up to about a 200' radius around the car. The stock Cradlepoint antennas are great in-car and locally, but I sometimes go further afield. Also, better gain on LTE (AT&T) would be a good thing. |

I do not believe any of the connectors are reverse polarity on a Cradlepoint so watch out for that.. The ones we install are all SMA. What is the model number of your Cradlepoint? https://www.tessco.com/product/lte-mimo ... ant-550990 |

That one has reverse polarity connectors on the WIFI connections.. You will need to get them changed. Unless by chance that Cradlepoint has changed to RP connections on their WIFI antenna connectors.. |

I'll look at it when it gets here next week. |

The one he ordered should work fine -- the Cradlepoint uses RSMA for its wifi connection. A better-spec option: https://www.digikey.com/product-detail/ ... ND/6602463 https://media.digikey.com/pdf/Data%20Sh ... 9273CE.pdf You also get a 430-520 UHF PL-259 connection for extra fun! (e.g. you add a rubber duck of your choosing) |

The datasheet for Wil's model says the w-ifi port is RSMA -- but since there are 57 versions of Wil's model -- he'll have to confirm... which model he has exactly... The LTE Main/Aux are SMA as is the GPS. The Wi-Fi is RSMA per the datasheet. |

Screw it Im going back to bed.. I still blame no coffee today. Ive put in dozens of these into buses and seriously do not remember them having reverse polarity SMA connectors on them. Ill have one of these in hand to install for a customer tomorrow. https://cradlepoint.com/sites/default/f ... 0119-b.pdf shows I need my eyes checked I suppose. |
