Good Evening,
I have a question regarding the use of the Sprint Novatel U720 and an external booster antenna (referenced in the link below)
http://3gstore.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=63&products_id=273
I am using the U720 in an inner office (no windows and about 500 ft to nearest exterior wall)and I typically get Rev. A with 2-3 bars, but the signal will flux and sometimes drop to 1x RTT with only 1-2 bars of service.
My question is, does anyone think that the booster antenna would make a difference in the office area or would it only really benefit me if I was outside of a building and the antenna had open air to work in?
Thanks |

Hmm, I am in exactly the same boat. I'm wondering, did you buy that antenna, and did it help? |
