With many more people working from home offices, the demand for stable, reliable, and fast Internet Services have skyrocketed.
These services are provided mostly by MNO’s (Mobile Network Operator). These services based on Radio Frequency (RF) technologies, are quick and easy to ‘roll out’. In its most basic form, the home office owner simply buys a ‘Wireless Package’ consisting normally of a ‘free-to-use’ Wireless Router (the ‘Radio’ connection) and a ‘data contract’ from the WISP (Wireless Internet Service Provider) and, quite frankly, hopes for the best as far as Internet connection speed, stability and overall performance is concerned.
The Router deployed by WISPs have a built-in Transceiver (Radio) with, mostly, built-in Antennas. These Routers, with their built-in Antennas, have primarily been designed for markets where the deployment of Base Stations is dense.
in other words, the user can be reasonably sure to have several Base Stations Towers in close vicinity of the premises providing a good quality Radio signal.
Many users have been sorely disappointed once they have the router up and running. The poor signal quality due to relying on internal antennas alone can result in poor overall performance.
