Picking Modem/dongle that Has External Antenna Port is a Great decision

BY

Still now, many people buy usb modem because it is the simplest as well as inexpensive way to access internet on computer. People use this generally when they do not have any extra option or live in rural area. It is also the easiest medium to get internet wireless but getting good speed in rural area is difficult. 
Actually, this post is the second part of my previous post in which I had written on ‘How to choose fast 3g modem and in this post we will talk about modem/mifi hotspot that comes with external antenna port and its possibility. Let me tell in brief.


How to get the most out of your dongle?  Some guidelines before use.
Besides dongle, everybody is concerned a lot about speed. You must have the experience of slow internet or signal problem have you?  Do you know that speed increases when you get good signal?  Now when we are in fourth generation era and most people use 4g network. So, what is the way to improve signal when there is limited option.  The cheapest and affordable solution that I would recommend is to go for the dongle that must have external antenna port. I have two dongles in which one has this option and its performance is good when I attach external antenna to it.  

Generally, usb wireless modem has already equipped with internal antenna but if you have a dongle with external antenna port, you can attach an external antenna and you will have option to enhance good signal.  However, you should use a full kit like network booster and antenna to get the best out of your network.  Booster boosts the available signal and hence improves speed but if you want to use only antenna then will it work?
I say yes in some extent because antenna catches and sends the signal and booster only amplifies so, antenna is the most important. You can go only with antenna. You can attach the right antenna then place the antenna at the top of your house or building where you get the most signal and you are done. In conclusion, you could use only antenna if you do not want to spend extra money but together with booster is better. 


Picking  the right one
Different isp network operates their services on different frequency bands so, to get most out of your network; you need to find the right dongle that matches the frequency band of your service provider to get good speed. For instance, If you want to use the particular network which serve 4g on lte  Band 3(1800Mhz)  then your dongle should also support that particular band.

Explore various techniques which are used by network operators to determine a phone’s location and discussion of experimental methods.       In this second part, you would also regenerate ideas from different techniques . You would find possibilities ,some experiments and methods that I have performed. The post is so simple and focused that it will be easier for audiences, who have little or no technical background. Let’s proceed.   Exploring the process and ideas   Locating the exact location with accuracy is a difficult task. There are various factors involved in the process which I discussed earlier. (You may read it in the first part to know the foundation.). The other reason is the map of cell towers, which are largely undisclosed in public by the network carrier due to privacy concern. But there are some methods you can implement. Though the process is largely used by network operators to determine a phone’s location, you can get the general ideas, con...

This is a related post of “ How to choose the best antenna for airtel jio etc”. You can read it if you wish and then you can come to this current post which is the second part but it is specially focused on directional antenna.    The main objective of the post is to provide you more ideas on directional antenna like how greater front to back ratio(F/B) impacts on the performance in antenna, its definition and the simple ways to check this ratio to evaluate the performance.   Here we have used Question and Answer session to grasp more ideas on the topics. So, let’s begin. Q- What is front to back ratio of Directional Antenna? Ans-Directional antenna is designed to radiate most of its power from main/front lobe to forward direction rather than rear direction to get most of the signal from front direction. It is designed in such a way to get signal from a specific direction, it means you can use it to optimize signal from specific directions according to your choice. ...

Have you ever wondered that what is baseband version in your phone all about? Those who do not know that where this is located, can go to setting and then type about phone in the setting search box or type it directly. There you would find it. Hope you got right?     Now the question is, what is it? What is its duty/role in phone? What are its characteristic, function and what it can do? Everything I will discuss through this post so, stay tuned. The term baseband version that you find in your mobile by going in setting, is written in some letters and numbers. It is a firmware version or you can say it as software which is responsible for your device wireless communication.  It means, it takes control of wireless communication to establish a connection between a cell tower and a device to perform different tasks like calling, video calling, messaging, data and other wireless activity etc.   Let’s get in to it to grasp deep knowledge of the topic.
