5G-XPOL-A0002-10m Poynting Directional antenna for GSM/3G/4G/5G review
Rural or fringe-coverage homes with a 4G/5G router or CPE that has two external SMA antenna ports, aimed at a known nearby mast.

This is a serious passive antenna for improving reception into a compatible router, not a plug-and-play phone booster. Done properly — aimed at the right mast, matched to a 2x2 MIMO device — it noticeably lifts signal and speed in weak-coverage spots.

- High 11 dBi gain across UK 2G-5G bands (617 MHz-3.8 GHz)
- IP65-rated for permanent outdoor/mast mounting
- Respected industrial-grade brand used in fixed-wireless installs
- Only works with a 2x2 MIMO router/CPE that has dual SMA ports — not compatible with a phone or a simple repeater kit
- Directional: works best pointed toward the mast with some line of sight, though its beamwidth is fairly forgiving rather than needing pinpoint aiming
Who shouldn't buy this
you just want better phone signal at home with no technical setup — try Wi-Fi calling first (free, works on every major UK network), or a licence-exempt plug-and-play repeater kit instead of a router antenna. It's also not the right length if a shorter run would reach your router: 10m of cable loses noticeably more signal at 5G frequencies than 5m does, eating into the very n78 gain you're buying this for — the 5m version (or the no-cable N-type variant with your own short, low-loss lead) is cheaper and performs better if your cable run allows it.
