Review: Perfect complement to Celfi Go X signal booster on Verizon in very rural area. (Updated 06AUG2023) - It is worth mentioning that I live very rural in the agricultural deep south US. Cell towers with Verizon antennas are 4.9 and 6.9 miles from me. There is no wired internet in my area, the latency on the satellite internet is very high, I was on the waiting list for Starlink for a year before this solved my problem. Inside my house I have zero bars on Samsung Galaxy phones. Outside I can occasionally get enough service for a voice call and SMS, but MMS and the internet was largely unusable except under ideal conditions. I am a techy and I approach things in a logical manner to troubleshoot and tune. I have been working with this setup for over a year and I am quite comfortable with it. I installed my Celfi Go X system with the included plastic covered Yagi antenna and I was able to successfully hit the tower without a good line of sight. There are some far away trees on the horizon that make it tricky to hit this tower at 4.9 miles. After running the system the same way and tuning things in to get the best carrier frequency I ultimately found that while my signal strength was good, my signal quality was so low that operation became unstable. Signal quality is king. Testing proved that I could get better internet throughput when I used a carrier frequency with higher quality even with little to no signal strength. Armed with the above I present the Celfi Go app dashboard as evidence. The first 3 images are snapshots of the old antenna showing the fluctuations in strength and quality. This did allow for a good amount of online gaming when paired with my Cudy LT500 router and Verizon SIM card. (Update: Ditched the CUDY LT 500 for a Taktikal 1600 to allow for some nerd level customization. I still use the CUDY but for running cameras not facing the internet.) The most annoying thing with the fluctuations was the constant disconnecting and reconnecting of the phones switching frequencies. The Cudy router allowed me to select and lock onto a band and channel. The final image with signal quality in the 80% range is with the Long Ranger installed. This translates into a reliable 14 mbps down and 4 mbps up. (Update: Depending on time of day I have hit peaks of 25 mbps with 19 mbps sustained. I can download many GB games in just a few hours.) It seldom deviates from this even in nasty rainy weather. This allows for VOIP, video calling, Netflix, desertcart Prime Video and gaming with no buffering or excessive lag. My kids do homeschooling without issue and we have made our neighbors jealous with our ability to rent movies online and watch them instantly in 4k. Needless to say, movie night is at our house. As far as the installation goes, I have this antenna mounted above my roofline on a metal pipe. There are some trees in the way, but they are off in the distance by about a mile. Once beyond them it is relatively clear to the tower. For $200 you cannot go wrong adding this to your system, but you need to be patient. The farther the tower the more sensitive direction is. I have roughly 8 degrees of movement before the signal is affected. I spun it to hit a farther tower as an experiment and it is tighter, around 5 degrees of movement before signal is affected. The important part is that I can hit another tower if I want to or need to. I ran for about a month on another tower at 751 mhz and it was solid and reliable until some network changes took place. I suddenly started having quality issues. I spun back to my original tower and everything was back to normal with 80% quality. I will update this as necessary. Update 06AUG2023! Had an issue with a cable that had a bad crimp. I do not think it came with the antenna though so no product issues there. I ordered a new one and everything got back to normal. This antenna does catch a little bit of wind so I have had it get spun on my antenna holder I made. I would recommend that you mount this to something pretty stout. Also, lightning took out a local tower. The generator failed so the tower was just out. I was able to re-aim it and hit the farther 7 mile tower with ease and continue on as normal. This really is a killer antenna. If you cannot hit what you need to with this I am not sure where to go from here. Bonus points, I have seen this exact antenna being used in Florida that appears to be a point to point communication system having to do with weigh stations or agriculture inspection stations at the state lines. It is nice to know this is a commercial level antenna .
Review: Perfect for hitting a specific tower at long distance. - I have been using this dish for about 8 months now for my primary internet connection. Some details about my situation: I live in a remote area where the nearest cell tower is about 5 miles away. My booster is a cell fi go X. My carrier is Verizon. I have mounted the dish on the side of my house high up near the roof line. Note: parabolic antenna is really suited to the application I mention above, you have one particular tower you are trying to hit at great distance. This antenna will pretty much not pick up any other towers in the area. If you want general directionality at a lesser distance a yagi style antenna is better. If you want to pick up all signals in an area of pretty good coverage (maybe a metal roof scenario) you will want an Omni directional antenna. Ok, so how does it work: to put in perspective, without any booster I get just about 1 bar, and almost no internet data and frequent dropped calls. With the yagi that my booster came with I was getting up to 2-3 bars but crucially data remained at a max of 10 mb down and only 1 up. With this parabolic antenna I now get a pretty solid 30 mega down and up to 6 up. Calls are much clearer with only the occasional drop. The thing I am most impressed with is that it has been pretty stable, you can expect some variability in cell signal and with weather. But this was much more stable than the yagi. Tips for installation. You will need to hit the tower pretty dead on and have it just about perfectly level. Being off just a few degrees will dramatically effect performance. In my case just between some trees I can actually see the tower so I know I am right on target. If you have really dense tree cover this antenna may not boost as much. One tip about the booster, this may be specific to cel fi go. It sweeps a bunch of different bands and frequencies, you can specify up front which band and frequencies to disable, if you look up what your tower uses it can save you a lot of time trying to figure out if you are connecting. Trust me you are going to be moving it slightly scanning, moving it scanning again. Another pro tip. I’ll often switch airplane mode on and off when I get home to make sure I’m tuned in to my booster perfectly. When you are out and about your phone may jump to some other frequencies and toggling that forces it to sweep for the strong signal again. At the end of the day I was able to get this combo of booster and antenna configured such that I have a usable internet connection through my cell hotspot of around 30mb down and 6mb up, contrasted to my max through dsl of 10/1 (wonderful American internet). It also makes phone calls easier to hear and rarely drops.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can greater than 10mi be achieved with line of site? more specifically would i be able to use this to capture noaa or goes satellites?**
A: This is a good question.  Short answers - 1) yes, you can achieve a reception distance greater than 10 miles if conditions are right, 2) no, this antenna won't work well - if at all - for satellite reception.

Long answer,  in general, the range of this or any directional antenna is generally limited by several factors.

First, you need a clear line of sight between the transmitting and receive antennas.  Trees or other obstructions will greatly reduce the received signal strength.

Second, the transmitted signal power much be strong enough so that by the time the signal arrives at the receiving antenna, it is able to overcome the propagation loss between the antennas, the losses inherent in the transmission line from the receiving antenna and the receiver, and the system thermal noise and the receiver's internal noise.

The higher the gain of the antenna, the more easily it will overcome these various losses.  Because the Bolton Long Ranger antenna is a high gain antenna, it usually works very well for the job it was designed to do.  However, you also need to take into account the polarization and directional pattern of the antenna.

The Bolton Long Ranger has a directional and polarization pattern that is designed to match the signals used for cell phone service.  As such, the directional pattern is very narrow in the horizontal direction while being quite broad in the vertical direction.

Antennas for satellite receotion are usually circular in shape which means they will have a circular or spot beam pattern, much like a flashlight.  Using an antenna with a non-circular pattern such as the Bolton Long Ranger will result in the antenna "looking" as areas of the sky where the satellite is not present.  This effectively reduces the size and gain of the antenna since not all the area of the antenna is "seeing" the satellite.  Additionally, the parts of the antenna that are looking at empty space will pick up galactic noise (or possibly signals from other satellites) which will degrade the desired signal.

Hope this helps..

**Q: Is this compatible with the cradlepoint ibr900?**
A: It will work with this device but you will need a connector.

**Q: Does of come with router? Does it work with any type of router? What type of extension cable will I need?**
A: The antenna does not come with a router. It works with most US carriers. It is a 50 ohm antenna so you need the ultra low loss 400 coax. I am using the antenna along with a wilson m2m boaster to pull in a signal from a  cell tower 10 miles away. Works great!

**Q: Will this go into monitor mode for kali linux ?**
A: the Bolton Technical Long Ranger is an antenna. It does not "go into" any mode. Your network card is what goes into monitor mode. Kali never knows the antenna is there, so there's not really a question of compatibility from Kali to the antenna. It's compatibility from Kali to your network card. If your network card supports the frequencies the antenna supports and Kali supports your network card, it will work.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ great antenna
*by S***U on March 4, 2021*

We live in rural Maryland. Our metal roof combined with cell phone tower being more than 5 miles away completely prevented us from using our cellphones in our house. We had a standard yagi antenna connected to a Proutone/weboost cell repeater. It worked ok. We could mostly get acceptable cell signals in some parts of our house. No 3G, or 4G. could not send text messsages with pictures or emogies. After installing, and properly aiming this antenna we now get great 2G, good 3G, and some 4G service in most places in our house. The antenna is very large, but light weight. I installed it on an under eve mount with and antenna extender to get it well above my roof. The connector is "N" type. You will need to see what connector is on your repeater. Mine was "SMA". In my case i got one with a Male N type on one end, and a male SMA on the other end. Below is what i used for instillation: -Ambient Weather EZ-HD-PTP Heavy Duty Mast to Mast Mounting Kit -DirecTV Under Eave Mount 2" O.D. SlimeLine SLMTUE -Solid Signal Heavy Duty Grade 1.25 Inch TV Antenna Mast (SSMAST) -XRDS -RF KMR400 SMA to N Cable 25ft, N-Male to SMA-Male Connector Low Loss Extension Cable 50 Ohm SMA Cable for 3G/4G/5G/LTE/ADS-B/Ham/GPS/WiFi/RF Radio to Antenna Use (Not for TV) -White silicone caulk.
