Over 98% of Australia’s population is covered by Telstra’s Next G network. It is a network that is capable of reaching up to the speed of 21MB/s, which makes it undeniably a high-speed network. With this speed, it also means that users can enjoy so many features such as videocalling, Whereismaps, email, News, Weather, Foxtel by mobile, superior coverage, as well as data services such as high-speed internet. With this, you will be able to access to all Next G services just like email, as well as all the free to browse areas on your Next G mobile phone which are not available to other 3G networks.
Next G 850MHz network is being used by a lot of modems such as the Telstra Mobile Broadband modems, BigPond wireless modems and of course the Next G handsets. The spectrum of 850 MHz provides a superior coverage of External antennas which then enables additional coverage for Next G mobile phones. If you are using a mobile phone, Telstra Mobile Broadband modem and BigPond wireless modem in rural areas or areas along major highways or if you are in the middle of nowhere, then this is essential for you.
SME or FME are the standard fitting terminations of most antennas; more so, there are several different antenna connections that are used by different mobile phones and wireless internet cards. In order to connect the patch lead to the standard fitting of the antennas, there should first be a patch lead.
Signal strength is being maximized by the range of Next G antennas regardless of one’s location may you be inside a boat, your home or riding in a moving vehicle. The range of Next G antenna uses different gain, size, as well as different types of antennas starting from the temporary portable antenna to the permanent bulbar, roof mount and all the way to the windscreen options.
The size of an antenna is generally proportional to its gain and is measured in decibels, DB. Of course, if the gain of the antenna is higher, its signal will also be greater. There are different gains for different situations just like what are noted below:
Low gain – Metropolitan city and major regional areas (0 – 3 dB): The increase of signal strength in areas with coverage is the primary focus and use of these antennas. Also, they are portable and they are able to transmit in all directions with equal signals. Moreover, hilly areas can also benefit from these antennas.
Medium gain – Regional use (3 – 5 dB): These antennas are being used in the receptions in buildings, as well as in areas that are far from network coverage. The same with the previous antennas, these also transmit signal in omni directional which means they transmit equally in all directions.
High gain – Rural and Remote areas (6.5 – 7.5 dB): Low signal areas, home and vehicle applications are the common use of these types of antennas. With the size of the high gain antennas, these are capable of transmitting signals equally in all direction, as well as in putting significant increases in the signal range.
