A Guide to Choosing an External Antenna on Telstra's Next G
Network
Telstra's Next G network covers over 98% of the Australia
population. It is a high-speed network that is currently capable of speeds of
up to 21MB/s. This means that we can enjoy video calling, email, Whereis maps, News,
Weather, Foxtel by mobile, data services such as high-speed internet as well as
superior coverage. Unlike other 3G networks where you can get Next G reception
you will have access to all Next G services such as email and all the free to
browse sections on your Next G mobile phone.

BigPond wireless modems, Telstra Mobile Broadband modems and
Next G handsets all operate on the Next G 850MHz network. The 850 MHz spectrum
provides superior in building coverage .
External antennas provide significant additional coverage
for Next G mobile phones. This is important if you are using your mobile phone,
BigPond wireless modem or Telstra Mobile Broadband modem in rural and remote
areas or along major highways.
Most antennas have a standard fitting termination either SME
or FME and different mobile phones and wireless internet cards have different
antenna connections. A patch lead is required to connect the mobile phone to
the antennas standard fitting.
The range of Next G antennas help to maximise signal
strength regardless of whether you are in your vehicle, boat or home. Our Next
G antenna range incorporates different size, gain and different types of
antennas, from temporary portable antenna solutions to permanent bullbar, roof
mount and through windscreen options.

Generally an antenna's size is proportional to its gain and
is measured in decibels, dB. The higher the gain of the antenna, the greater
the signal range will be. Different gains are required for different situations
as noted below:
Low gain - Metropolitan city and major regional areas (0 - 3
dB) These antennas are used to increase signal strength in good coverage areas
and are portable and transmit equally in all directions. These antennas also
work well in hilly areas.
Medium gain - Regional use (3 - 5 dB) Use these antennas to
increase in building reception and in areas on the fringe of network coverage. These
antennas transmit are omni directional i.e. they transmit equally in all
directions.
High gain - Rural and Remote areas (6.5 - 7.5 dB). Used in
low signal areas for home and vehicle applications. The size of our high gain
antennas provides omni directional signal strength gain and significant
increases in signal range.
Larger ultra high gain antennas, yagis, are also available. These
are used to achieve maximum signal strength for wireless broadband modems. They
are usually mounted on buildings or high on fixed structures. These antennas
transmit in a fixed direction and so must be installed properly so that they
are transmitting in the correct direction.

It is recommend that your antenna be installed your a car, boat
or house roof as this provides height and stops the roof itself from blocking
the signal. Just having an antenna outside of a home, boat or car can result in
an increase of around 10 times in signal strength resulting in significantly
improved performance.
Telstra has awarded several mobile phone handsets within the
Next G range the blue tick. These blue tick mobile phones are recommended for
rural and remote use and in areas where there is low signal strength as they
provide superior reception in these areas.
