Panels get mounted where the wire is, not where the signal is. When a communicator lands in a metal can in a basement utility room and the cellular bars will not hold, this antenna moves the radio 18 feet away to a spot that actually has coverage, without relocating the panel or re-pulling anything.
Built for the alarm installer
The MMCX connector snaps on by hand, so swapping the stock antenna takes seconds and no tools. The 18-foot cable is fixed to the antenna, which means one part number instead of an antenna plus a separate extension, and no connector in the middle of the run to work loose. The omnidirectional pattern keeps roughly 3 dB of gain in every direction, so you do not have to aim it at a tower to get the benefit.
Mount it vertically for best results, run it up out of the can, and verify signal at the panel before you close up. This is an indoor antenna, so keep it inside the conditioned envelope rather than running it into an attic or outside wall cavity.
Key features
- Fixes weak signal without moving the panel, which saves a second truck roll on a job that is otherwise finished
- Snap-on MMCX connector swaps in by hand, no tools and no crimping
- 18-foot fixed cable in one piece, so there is no inline connector to fail
- Omnidirectional pattern means no aiming and no site survey to get the gain
- Works on LTE and 3G bands across Alarm.com cellular and dual-path communicators
System requirements
Requires an Alarm.com cellular or dual-path communicator with an MMCX antenna connector. Indoor use only, and vertical mounting is recommended for best performance.
