With this system, you have a lot of configuration options - but good ones. Your antenna choices matter. These are the different settings and applications to consider when choosing your kit.
Use cases for choosing an indoor antenna
Dome antennas work best mounted to the ceiling of the space where you need signal. The dome sends signal downward omnidirectionally. This works best in large areas; preferably in the middle of the ceiling. If you are installing this in a large home, cabin, or office, you’ll want to install it in a family room or meeting/conference room where there would be fewer structures blocking your signal.
Panel antenna installations provide a lot of flexibility with the indoor antenna configuration. You can mount a panel to a wall, in a hallway, or you also mount it to your ceiling using the mounting bracket that is included with the kit. Regardless of your antenna choice, you should mount it in a location with the fewest amount of structural obstacles like walls, metal beams, thick glass, or cement.
Bonus tip: If you need a two-antenna system that requires a panel antenna for the first antenna and a dome for the second, choose a single antenna kit and order an antenna expansion kit for the second with a dome. That expansion kit comes with a splitter, cable, and extra antenna. You can configure this however you like.
Use cases for choosing an outdoor antenna
Yagi antennas are directional so your antenna positioning matters when you’re mounting it to the outside of your space. Our yagi antenna will perform well in rural and suburban locations where your home or office may be a few miles from the nearest cell tower - off the beaten path. These antennas can still be effective even if your tower is several miles away.
Omni antennas are well omnidirectional so your antenna positioning matters slightly less when you’re mounting it to the outside of your space. Our omni antenna will perform well in urban and some suburban locations where your nearest cell tower is close by. The omni antenna can receive and boost the signal from multiple towers, but it is important to ensure that you still mount the omni where your signal is strongest.
We have tested these products in a wide variety of conditions, and the Fusion5s 2.0 will boost signal from towers that are up to 10 miles away, but we recognize that not all conditions are created equal, so these results may vary.
