Piggyback Off LTE Antennas

Post by phspman »

Let’s say I have two big antennas for LTE. One is Aux and One Is 4G and they go to a CradlePoint modem with AT&T. Is it possible to split the two lines from the antennas and connect to a WE826 modem with Sprint?

If so, what components would I need?

I think you would get TONS of crosstalk and noise. BUT in theory, if each modem were locked to the two different carriers and different bands so that the other wasn't using the same frequency at all ... MAYBE. If you feel like being adventurous go for it. You would need a Y cable or T adapter. SMA "T" or a antenna jumper cable that is two cables into one. Depends on the connectors you have and need to connect to.

Yea, that's what I'm thinking on the interference part. Looking into UHF/VHF signals and it looks like I would need a diplexer for each antenna. I wonder if a sattelite/antenna diplexer would work.
