[Shop-talk] mobile hotspot signal strength

[john niolon]

Well Brad... you were spot on.   Put the antenna up about 15b (5b above
the trailer) even fabricated a ground plane under it... and it absolutely no
difference in signal strength or dBm readout...   thatbs a hundred bucks in
the wind...

suggestions ???

thanks

John,

I think you're using the same jetpack I am.  I also have an external antenna
and if I remember right at most I would see one bar increase and possibly no
bar increase.  Been a while since I looked at it.

When I get home I'll check what the status is on mine and let you know.

Also, my Verizon 4g isn't super fast but it is faster than satellite by a fair
margin.  At least near Richmond Kentucky which is where I'm at.

Brad

  Ib m trying to set up a verizon 4620i jetpack for remote internet access...
  signal seems poor   2 bars and very slow access...

  Ib m also trying an omnidirectional antenna to boost the signal... supposed
  to be a 9 db gain antenna

  when I connect antenna I see no increase in bars and looking at the display
on
  the jetpack I see no change
  in the RSSI    it is at 32%  and b 114 dBi

  surely an outside antenna should increase my signal

  can someone explaoin the 32%   % of what  ??

  and is b 114 dBi good or bad... would b 125dBi  be better or worse... I
  donb t understand the nomenclature I guess


  thanks
  john
