WWAN External Antenna for CF-53
Posted: Thu Jan 15, 2015 7:59 am
Hello,
I have several CF-53 Toughbook's equipped with Gobi 3000 chips. The air cards are activated with AT&T and work great while outside or when docked in the vehicles. The vehicles have Havis docks equipped with dual high gain antennas and there are no connection issues. I am finding that the internal antennas in the Toughbook's do not work that well when inside buildings, which is a requirement. I have been trying to find an external antenna that will use the antenna port on the back of the Toughbook's without needing a docking station. Basically they want to be able to carry around an antenna that might have a 10 - 20 ft cord where they can put the antenna outside the building (hanging out the window or door) and then connect it to their Toughbook so they will have an internet connection.
I have searched high and low for a connector that will fit the back of the Toughbook but have had no luck. Outside of the docks I cannot find any antennas that will connect directly to the Toughbook's.
I welcome any insight or assistance.
Thanks!
