Designing the proper RF Gain Structure

Please answer the following. A Peplink sale is contingent on it. Thanks

Peplink ANT-100-LTE-4-G-N technical data: http://download.peplink.com/resources/pepwave-ant-100-lte4-g-n.pdf

Please provide product datasheet and availability of the Peplink Pepwave PUMA 401 antenna. It does not appear to be on your website. Thanks

Happy to read this whole post. It’s going to take some time to assimilate all this.

And @CarlosRiveraUTS , welcome to GeekWorld !

Thanks, now that’s the kind of product data that should be readily available on the website. For poor SINR = 1 and -88dBm RSSI do you have a high antenna gain (+10dBi) 2x and/or 4x MiMo Panel? Right now I am looking at PCTel https://www.pctel.com/antenna-product/venu-dual-polarization-4g-lte-mimo-directional-panel-antenna/ or this one file:///C:/Users/carlos.rivera/Downloads/Y42700WB-2X-Tech-Sheet.pdf (once we receive real technical data for it) for this job. We plan on running additional Belden 9913 with Gilbert Engineering or equivalent quality N connectors.

If my math serves me correctly I estimate

-88dBm receive Level at VZE LTE Bands.

+8dB for the 2x MiMo antenna (we’ll take the Puma and install on our service truck to see how it performs)

-8dB for 130’ of cable attenuation and connector insertion loss

Resulting in -88dBm at the Router. I would like to get the signal level in 70-80 dBm range albeit 2x MiMo should provide for better throughput speeds if channel aggregation can be accomplished from the Towers at Robins Air Force Base.

Thanks
