Fullband antennas

Fullband 4G and 5G antennas for industrial routers

Fullband is our own antenna range, created by Nick Appleby to suit the industrial routers UK installers actually use. From compact pucks to 4x4 MIMO 5G domes, the range is stocked in the UK, almost every model uses SMA connectors, and we supply the cable and bracket you need.

The Fullband range

2x2 MIMO outdoor

Two-port outdoor antennas for most 4G routers and many 5G ones: omni for town and unknown mast direction, cross-polarised or colinear for more gain.

Single and directional

One antenna per router port: high-gain colinear and directional options for weak-signal sites, and the GXS606 in four cable lengths.

Vehicles, cabinets and multi-element

Pucks and combination antennas that carry cellular, Wi-Fi and GPS through one mounting hole.

Antenna basics

Antennas move the signal, not boost it

An antenna cannot create signal. It lets you receive where the signal is better, outside a metal cabinet, on a wall or above the roofline, and carries it to the router.

Match the ports

Routers have two or four cellular ports (2x2 or 4x4 MIMO). Connect one antenna element to each. Leaving a port empty costs speed.

Position beats height

Try a few spots with the router's signal readings before fixing anything. A clear view towards the mast matters more than a few extra metres of height.

Read RSRP and SINR

RSRP is signal strength; SINR is signal quality. A better SINR usually means more speed, even when RSRP barely changes. Bars on a screen tell you little.

Lower frequencies travel further and through walls; higher ones carry more data over shorter distances. A wideband antenna covers them all, so the router can use whichever its network offers.

Fullband questions

Does an external antenna boost the signal?

No antenna creates signal. A Fullband antenna lets you put the receiving element where the signal is better, such as outside a cabinet, on a wall or above a roofline, and carries it to where the router sits. That usually improves speed and stability a lot.

Which Fullband antenna fits my router?

Match the number of cellular ports on the router: two for 2x2 MIMO, four for 4x4. Most routers use SMA connectors, which all our Fullband antennas use, apart from the N-type FBXPMIMO. Tell us the router and we will confirm.

Omni or directional?

Omni-directional antennas pick up from every direction and suit towns and sites where you do not know where the mast is. Directional antennas are aimed at one mast and give more gain on weak rural sites.

How long can the cable be?

Keep it as short as practical. Every metre of coax loses signal, more at 5G frequencies. For long runs use FBR195 low-loss cable, or move the router to the antenna and run Ethernet back.

Who designs Fullband antennas?

Fullband was created by Nick Appleby alongside the Proroute router range, to give UK installers antennas that suit industrial routers. The range is stocked and supported by The Router Store.
