There are 3 different types of 3G antenna available. Determining which one you need depends on several factors, but to give you a rough idea on which one you need;
- The Clip antenna is best suited for mobile users that use their laptops while they’re out and about in areas with generally good coverage
- The High Gain antenna is best suited for those who get 2-3 bars of 3G signal and want a stronger, faster connection
- The Outdoor Antenna is best suited for those who get 3G signal outside and poor signal inside or those that live on the edge of an area of coverage
