The fact that the outdoor version is directional kind of limits its adoption in mobile usage, doesn't it? Most similar products have omnidirectional antenna. Can't imagine you would rotate it by hand on a boat towards the land while on passage

I think it’s going to be targeting mostly stationary HA redundant uplinks. Backup for primary uplink or low usage primary link. In those scenarios pointing at your nearest antenna fixed is much better than an omnidirectional antenna.

This product targets businesses where they will mount it in a fixed position and target a specific tower so they get the best throughput.

Did you read through the press release?

They clearly mention mobile use and show it on the animation as well. Which is why I am surprised.

Not GP but I’m trying to figure out what you’re insinuating.

> For tougher environments or deployments with poor indoor cellular coverage, the outdoor model maintains the same high performance cellular connectivity with improved antenna performance in a durable IP67 rated enclosure. It is built for rooftop installs, off site locations, and mobile deployments where reliability is critical. Just like its indoor counterpart, you can also connect it via any PoE port, anywhere on your network, greatly simplifying cabling requirements.

And the first image they show of the outdoor model is it installed in a fixed location on a rooftop.

The video shows it on a moving vehicle

>>botto+62
In their promotional video they call out mobile applications and they showing a car driving with it on top of it.

>>cromka+(OP)
The spec sheet mentions 6 antennas and implies only 2 are directional:

(6) Embedded cellular antennas, including (2) high-gain for downlink: peak 9 dBi, 85°x85°

Typically these modems are 4x4 mimo so it must have some method for switching the 2 directional with 2 of the omnis in it based on which ones is needed.

Your quote lists mobile deployments, their bullet point also says:

>Built for rooftops, remote sites, and vehicle based setups

They are insinuating if you actually read their press release then you would not state it was targeted only at stationary deployments.

Based on the spec sheet 2 out of its 6 antennas are directional, this is probably a 4x4 modem so it must have some way to switch 2 antenna from directional to omni.

Interesting, thanks!
