Hello all,
I am new here, you have a great forum.
Getting all my facts and hatching a plan for my home wireless router.
I like the setup of a USB enclosure with a 4x4 MiMo modem.
Looking at either T-mobile or Verizon as carrier.
That is an investment of four outdoor antenna.
Would like to buy gear that has some life to it.
I read that future proof antenna that cover all the bands of 4G and 5G are 600MHz to 6000MHz.
There appear to be very few of these. Many are still 700-2700.
So is 6 to 6 a real thing? I have found a paddle, Yagi, and Omni that say they are.
Are there some good options that include T-Mobile band71 right now?
Thank you
Future proof with 6 to 6 antenna?

Re: Future proof with 6 to 6 antenna?
My design for my system has advanced.
Most parts/pieces on order except for the outdoor antenna.
I have sourced some paddle antennas supporting 600 - 6000 MHz for initial testing.
Supporting the low end of B71 (600) and the high end of B46 (5200) both appear to be sound requirements. Testing will flush out more details.
The only remaining issue is which Outdoor sub6 ultra wide band antenna.
The only two directional antenna I know about are:
SISO Bolton grid parabolic, but if I run 4x4 MIMO, the house will look like an aircraft carrier.
SISO RFMAX Yagi RY-4-14-SNF
People say good things about Bolton. Has anyone tried the RFMAX?
Does anyone know of any other options?

Re: Future proof with 6 to 6 antenna?
I would use caution on a do every thing antenna, sure they sound nice and I understand the investment and future proofing.
But you will get a "Jack of all trades, master of none” antenna. There are always Pro’s & Con’s to any design.
See pointing new wideband directional antenna, MAKE sure you get the NEW Version V3

Re: Future proof with 6 to 6 antenna?
I am a fan of Poynting, they are transparent and apply sound engineering.
They have a global focus and their web site does not detail the unique US frequency bands of B71 and B46 but they got this new US antenna out the door.
I am hopeful that they have one more upgrade to do, which is add the LTE-LAA B46 band.
