Excellent thread, expounding on some of the stuff that had been broached on other threads.
Specific question: Someone may be able to answer this without me having to look up specs laboriously.
We talked previously about the little Netgear-branded MIMO that, in Avanti’s opinion, is not a very effective choice. I don’t know how it compares to other products because it’s the only MIMO I currently own.
At my off-grid location, we had previously experimented with a wide-band directional, with zilch results. Come to find out from one of my off-grid neighbors that we were aiming at the wrong tower. Counterintuitively, the better tower is farther away in a different direction. Aimed at that one and voila - some connectivity.
Still not good enough, though. Both of my off-grid neighbors are electrical engineers. One of them maintains that, if I could replace that directional with a vertical collinear array, I’d get better results.
Is there such a device that could be used in this application - portable, small, that I could put up a mast? Do any of the devices mentioned here fit that description?
Story-boarded pic of the same question. I’m trying to integrate an iPad Pro into my professional toolkit, practicing its range of capabilities on stuff like this (it’s not as easy as it looks to produce semi-elegant visuals... this one looks like a 3rd grader drew it):
