Flex 4G gives you the possibility to change the antenna specification from a local store.
To understand the difference of antenna gains we have summarized below few differences.
Antenna Gain
When selecting an antenna for your product, it’s essential to consider gain, range, and coverage patterns.
Here’s how different antenna options compare:
5 dBi Antenna
- Gain: Moderate
- Range: Best for small to medium areas, such as apartments or small offices
- Coverage: Wider coverage area but lower signal focus—ideal for general use and close-range devices
10 dBi Antenna
- Gain: Higher than 5 dBi
- Range: Suitable for medium-sized homes or offices
- Coverage: More focused signal, improving performance at longer distances but slightly narrowing the coverage area
15 dBi Antenna
- Gain: High
- Range: Designed for large spaces like warehouses or outdoor areas
- Coverage: Very focused signal for long-range connections, but may not cover nearby areas as effectively
Key Considerations
- Interference: Higher gain antennas can pick up more interference, which may impact performance
- Placement: Proper positioning is crucial, especially for higher gain antennas, to optimize coverage
- Use Case: Choose based on your needs—lower gain for general use, higher gain for long-range or point-to-point connections
Quick Summary
- 5 dBi: Best for small areas, wider coverage
- 10 dBi: Ideal for medium spaces, balanced focus and range
- 15 dBi: Perfect for large areas, long-range, highly focused signal
