Product Description
Proxicast 3G/4G/LTE Universal Wide Band 5 dBi Omni-Directional Paddle Antenna
The Proxicast Flat Swivel Antenna is a high-efficiency mid-gain 3G/4G/GPS omnidirectional antenna. The "rubber-duck" style antenna is an 7.7 inch (196 mm) omni-directional antenna that provides 5 dBi of gain and supports all 2G, 3G and 4G/LTE/xLTE/AWS frequency bands (698-2700 MHz) used by U.S. and Canadian cellular carriers such as Verizon Wireless, AT&T Wireless, T-Mobile, Rogers, Bell Mobility and Telus as well as most other cellular operators worldwide.
This antenna also covers the GPS frequency (1575 MHz) and can be used as a passive GPS antenna or as a multiplexed cellular + GPS antenna.
The polycarbonate antenna swivels 90 degrees and rotates 360 degrees for optimal positioning and maximum signal reception and has an integrated SMA male plug connector and ground-plane. This antenna is a smart choice for mobile or stationary applications where extra gain is required.
Compatible with all SMA-based equipment including modems and routers from Cisco, Cradlepoint, Digi, Pepwave, Proxicast, Sierra Wireless, Sixnet/Red Lion and many others.
NOT for use with Wi-Fi (RP-SMA) devices
Note: LTE devices should use 2 identical antennas for best results.

Learn more how customers reviews work on AmazonCustomers say
Customers like the quality, value, and performance of the antenna. For example, they mention it's well-made, works well, and is not bad for the money. That said, opinions are mixed on signal reception.
AI-generated from the text of customer reviews
Customers like the performance of the antenna. They say it works well on a ZTE MF279 modem, and as a replacement for a broken Mofi4500 antenna. Some customers also mention that it has excellent reception.
"...it fit and worked perfectly and delivery was quick." Read more
"They work well, in and of themselves...." Read more
"...these hooked to a MC400 Cradlepoint modem and they do work just fine for my application...." Read more
"...See Verizon, your product doesn’t work EVERYWHERE." Read more
Customers are satisfied with the quality of the antenna. They mention that it is well-made, and it immediately boosted to a solid three bars.
"...These antennas immediately boosted to a solid three bars. Note these are NOT intended for use as transmission antennas on standard wifi routers...." Read more
"...After attaching the dual antennas, solid 4 bars. Very Pleased!" Read more
"Didn't see any difference when connected or not connected. Seem to be well made." Read more
"No too shabby...." Read more
Customers appreciate the value of the antenna. They mention it's not bad for the money.
"...I'm also a good ways from tower in rural area. Not bad for the money. Will still probably keep searching for bar number four ...why not" Read more
"...These do the trick just fine for that purpose. They are inexpensive and do their job...." Read more
"Wow... we went from 1 bar to full signalWell worth the money. We live very rural and this solved the problem!" Read more
"Good price..." Read more
Customers are mixed about the signal reception of the antenna. Some mention that it improves signal reception, while others say that it didn't improve signal strength. Some say that the signal strength stayed the same, while other say that their reception signal is stable at three to four full bars.
"...A low upload will cause serious lag issues. It also seems to be a more steady signal with out all the jitter...." Read more
"...Also note signal strength can vary intermittently so it takes a while to get a feel on how you are doing...." Read more
"Installed these on a ATT wireless internet box. Always have a solid signal but the tower is pretty close too. No complaints...." Read more
"...It was working fairly decent on its own, but the signal was very wonky and unstable, so I decided to get this to see if they help. They did...." Read more
Customers are dissatisfied with the speed of the antenna. They mention that it has a low upload speed that causes serious lag issues. However, some customers also say that it does not impact down and up speeds.
"...It really helped over all with upload. A low upload will cause serious lag issues. It also seems to be a more steady signal with out all the jitter...." Read more
"...This obviously does not impact down and up speeds but I never see the signal bars dropping or going below 3." Read more
"Decreased speed..." Read more

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Initial signal strengths before adding the antennas were -109--> -115 dBm with download speeds 10.9 to 19.7 Mbps (using ATT internet speed test). Upload speeds a miserable 0.5 to 3.0 Mbps at best
With paddle antennas installed signal strength consistently improved with much less variation despite weather changes (cloudy rainy days tended before to give better signal; bright sunny days much worse signal strength).
Although initially had immediately a dramatic increase with -84 to 86 dBm strength far exceeding my expectations (imagine my glee of excitement); by the next day and subsequently only achieved -105 to - 106 dBm. Cannot explain why but currently researching. This was my initial expectation given the 5 dbi gain stated.
Download speeds improved some 20 to 28 Mbps but upload speeds definitely improved & more consistent at 3 to 5 Mbps (important if you are using outdoor Blink cameras to monitor your property). Occasionally even belter for both.
A few tips:
1)- used the OpenSignal app (free to download) to locate the direction of the cell tower
2)- the ATT AWI device sits flat on a small child's table at the window that faces the cell tower, & through trial and error determined the back of the device pointed at the tower gave best signal strength with the internal antennas before installing the Proxicast antennas.
3)- the Proxicast technical page states that most cell towers have vertical polarity so recommends keeping the antennas upright, so when I installed the antennas did so keeping the AWI router in same exact location/orientation.
4)-- testing internet speeds will depend in part on network congestion and time of day. (Sundays had slower speeds and Mondays in midmorning better results). Use the signal strength meter on AWI router page to determine how well you are doing. Also note signal strength can vary intermittently so it takes a while to get a feel on how you are doing.
Overall given my expectations initially product works as advertised, and saved me drilling holes in the walls to run an outdoor antenna ( which I would expect would work even better-- but our needs are met) Definitely would recommend purchasing and trying as long as you have realistic expectations.... & and contain your excitement if you get a huge improvement initially the first day until you see how things settle out...;)
I think they cost a bit too much personally, as I honestly did expect a little MORE speed? But I should alse just be grateful I can get 15-20 Mbps down in rural America. So until Elon Musk gets his Gigabyte satellite Internet up and functional, this will definitely tide me over.
I just upgraded to these new Proxicast paddle antennas from the Panorama desktop MiMo antenna I was using to try and increase the strength of the signal to the local tower and my upload speed doubled while the DL speed jumped up a bit more than I was already getting when at peak speeds (from what I understand, most home internet plans have a cap of 10Mbps upload so this was a bit of a win for me because I tend to upload large files at times due to my business).
These are 5dBi (the Panorama is 4.5dBi) and I have some 9dBi antennas coming. I'm hoping those will be able to push me over the 30Mbps down mark because I really want to be able to stream content in 4K, which requires a minimum of 25Mbps. If not, these will definitely do. Still ten times better than I was getting before the service switch.
The main thing with these is that you have to play around with the angle and placement for optimal performance but once you have that dialed in you should be very happy with your increased speeds.

I tried it for a week and found that it may have actually hurt the reception because calls were being forwarded to the voice mailbox instead of coming through. I took it back off and did a power cycle and the device went back to going between 2 and 3 bars.
If you're looking to add this to a Verizon T2000, do not use this, as it looks like the T2000 may disable the internal antenna (which seems to get better reception) and limit the reception to whatever external antenna you may use. (I am assuming this as the instructions in the manual state when you add an external antenna you are supposed to turn it on and then back on [power cycle] for the device to detect it)
