Yes you can either have 2 of the RUTC50's WiFi ports connecting to indoor antennas and the 1 remaining going to an external antenna, or you can do it the other way around and have 1 used for internal and the other 2 used for external. If you would like to discuss this further by all means contact tech - [email protected] / 01482 644938

Might be worth a call to tech support and they can talk you through it 01482 644938

Yes, you can do that by connecting the Teltonika IoT gateway into the Mikrotik's WAN port.

Well, yes.

Well, yes.

A Poynting XPOL-1 Antenna may be best if you are not wanting to be putting holes in your caravan. The XPOL-1 can be mounted with suction cups and stuck on a window once you're parked up, view it here: www.solwise.co.uk/5G-XPOL-1 If you need anymore presale advice feel free to get in contact with our Support team: [email protected] / 01482 644938

"Unity gain" is just another way of saying 0dB gain, so a 3dB gain antenna would radiate a more powerful signal within it's effective window. The 1/4 and 5/8 wavelength references are about the trcks used to ensure that the antenna accepts the power from the transmitter rather than reflecting it it back up the wire whilst at the same time forming a suitable radiating pattern that gets the signal to it's recipients.

@@SolwiseMD I realize what unity gain is, but how can a omni-directional antenna actually have gain? Unless it is just referenced to a 1/4 wave antenna as having 0db gain. Antennas are passive devices, so how can they have gain? This video demonstrates a directional antenna where the total rf is being 'focused" in an ever increasingly narrow 'beam'.

Hi, both the RUTX50 and RUTC50 are compatible with 7-in-1 antennas such as the Poynting MIMO-4-17 & MIMO-3-17, the RUTC50 however would have 1 remaining WiFi connector on the router left unused due to both of the mentioned above antennas only having 2 WiFi cables, you could however use a “rubber duck” antenna provided with the router for this remaining connector. All router connectors on the RUTX50 would be used and match up perfectly with the above Poynting antennas. The Poynting MIMO-4-19 is a 9-in-1 antenna that would connect to all connectors on the RUTC50, but this would have the opposite problem of having an antenna cable left unused due to the MIMO-4-19 having 4 WiFi cables but the RUTC50 router having only 3 WiFi connectors. Dependent on how and where you wish to mount your antenna, you could consider a QuWireless QuSpot in which the router is placed inside the antenna enclosure. The AC50S antenna is made to house the RUTC50 and the AX50S is made to house the RUTX50. These antennas are made specifically for particular Teltonika Routers and would connect to all connectors on that router.

Look forward to seeing that Patrick, nice to hear from you.🙂

That really was the purpose of this video, to give you all the information as to whether it was worth the extra cost to you. Only you can decide that ;-)

Indeed, excellent point. I have the RUTX50 and the wifi isn't too great compared to other 802.1ac routers, so if you need high performance wifi or need IPSEC on the box the RUTC50 MIGHT be worth the money, but if not , usually the 5G reception is the limiting factor. I get up to 700mbps on my RUTX50 using it as a simple router and I think the CPU can go higher. I might try bridge some day but since my mobile provider doesn't allow inbound sessions I'd rather use Teltonika's RMS function if needed. 5G wise, it's an absolutely great device. [EDIT] I use the 5G Combo MIMO antenna (PR1KC640) from Teltonika , it's much cheaper than the poyntings and works fine

The 7 in 1 has 4 x LTE connections and 2 x WiFi connections. As you say, for proper wifi6 the C50 needs 3 wifi antenna. You could just use 2 of the wifi connections on the router but that would knock the speed back since it would now operate as a 2x2 instead of a 3x3. However, even as 2x2 it would still have the potential to go damn fast! Assuming the other end of the wifi is good enough!

@@louisebarrett5813 You can always use one of the factory delivered wifi antenna's as third antenna if the physical setup supports it.

They come with a couple of different spigot mounts or if you need something more you can use an M4 bolt, the bolts are not included though.

If Your caravanroof is thicker than 7cm no, but usual they are thiner so no problem

It certainly is good value for money and to be honest it is likely good enough for what the vast majority of folks need. I am hopeful that should the idea of an external device prove success for Teltonika then they will invest in units with gigabit ports and the new wifi and cat levels. Sales of this unit have been very steady for us so we are keeping our fingers crossed.

Identifying Orientation: I'm not sure there is a generic answer to this question, antennas come in all shapes and sizes. If it is not obvious try searching for an arrow somewhere on the antenna, otherwise consult the manual. Selecting Orientation: If the link is point-to-point then the two antennas should be aimed at each other. For point-to-multipoint then the central antenna should be omnidirectional and each endpoint shoul be aimed at that. Hope that helps.

It's 2m on all the MIMO-4 antennas.

@@solwise thank you

Can the antenna be surface (van roof mounted - adhesive / magnet and have the cable exit at its base side so the cables can be run along the roof 1m and then enter the can through an existing duct?

You are welcome to give our tech support guys a call, they may be able to help you troubleshoot it - 01482 672872. Depending on how long you have had it you may be able to return to BBB for a refund.

Checking the diameter and also creating the amount the customer requested

500m on the reel but customer only wanted 200m 🙂

I think you may be asking if the two connections to an antenna are joined together. This is a bit off-topic but I'll try to give you an answer. On some antennas when you test the connections with a multimeter it may seem that the connections are shorted toether when you test it with a multimeter which uses an dc current to make the test. However if you do the same test using an ac signal in the frequency range of the antenna you should get a very different result. This would be because you would be measuring the impedance of the antenna not the resistance. Imagine the antenna as an inductor. 0 ohms at DC but some other value at AC. Hope this helps.

We sure did, they do look the same. If you just want a simple 'ping' that says 'I am here' then go for the plain beacon. If you want a 'ping' that says 'I am here AND this is how hot it is, and this is how humid it is and I've just been moved and a magnet just tripped me' then you go for the sensor beacon. If you're still not sure do give us a ring

Generally you will find the sensitivity of a receiver expressed in dBm anyway so the question is somewhat moot. If a receiver says in can receive 10Mbps at -90dBm, then -80dBm of signal should work just fine. However, since you ask, -80dBm is the same as -8Bm, or eight zeros (noughts) to the right, so 1x10^-8, I think that makes -80dBm = 0.000 000 01 mW (is that 10pW picoWatts?)

@@SolwiseMD I don't know,i am italian and had some difficult to understand for the language too!!

Can anyone help with this issue in Italian?

@@SolwiseMD I was meaning to the end of the video,when there is the example that a transmit start to 100 mW (20dbm) and to the end i will find -80 dbm.I was trying to understand how many mW i will find,maybe like you say i will find 10 pW.Wait if someone explain or agree.Thanks.

@@guevaradelaserna85 -80dBm = 1mW/100,000,000 it's a very small number!
