Overview
This Quectel external 4G antenna covers main 4G LTE bands and is compatible with 3G/2G/LPWA bands

as well. The external antenna is barely influenced by the internal environment of devices, giving a much

better performance in efficiency, radiation and gain whilst providing an optimized solution for a customer

product. Quectel also offers flexible installation with custom cable length and connector options.
