Boost your 5G performance using an outdoor antenna

In many 5G router installations, a quality 5G outdoor antenna can dramatically improve the system performance. Improved signal reception  from an outdoor antenna can lead to higher download performance and better signal stability leading to fewer dropouts.

How can an outdoor antenna do this? In simple terms, when the 5G router/antenna installation is indoors, the 5G signals received can be attenuated by the building, walls, roof, windows, especially in modern construction using efficient insulation techniques, this leads to poor 5G network reception at the router. Also, using a 5G outdoor antenna to deliver a stronger, clearer signal to improve stability has positive effects on not just download speeds, but latency and throughput stability too.

Outdoor antennas can also reduce interference issues and improve the signal-to-noise ratio which leads to a more reliable connection which is desirable for video and streaming applications.

For 5G signals at higher frequency bands, these are often higher speed services, but at higher frequencies losses are more common so using an outdoor 5G antenna can extend the reach of higher bands allowing the user to take advantage of them.

Connex offers a range of 5G outdoor antennas such as the LMO6138, the LPO-Max and the SMP-5G.
