Hi, Do you have any Antenna for my Clear 4G wireless? Normally the 3G come with only 1 wire connect to the antenna but this 4G need 2 separate wires . I also need 50ft cable extension so I can put the antenna outside.

Yes we have several antennas that can work with this.
Here is an outdoor directional panel antenna kit: http://www.rfwel.com/shop/?target=pr...roduct_id=1935. Depending on your situation one antenna will work just fine (put it in the primary antenna slot which is “ANT1” in the image shown here http://www.rfwel.com/4g-data/index.php#pxu1900 (PXU1900 modem).
We have other styles of antennas here: http://www.rfwel.com/4g-data/wimax-a...wimax_antennas with different gain and spec’s. For example if you don’t want to have to orient your antenna to direction of tower you can use an omnidirectional antenna such as: http://www.rfwel.com/shop/?target=pr...roduct_id=1877. But note this has lower gain that the panel above.
Let me know if you have additional questions clarifications.KF7RCQ

For my Clear 4G WiMax PXU1900 modem, I already bought 4 kind of antenna from you + all the kits.
- 18dBi WiMax Outdoor Panel Antenna (Directional)
- 12dBi WiMax Outoor Omni Antenna (Omni-Directional)
- 2.5 - 2.7 GHz 16 dBi Yagi Antenna
- 2.3 GHz - 2.7 GHz 24dBi WiMax Grid Antenna
I also have another USB modem from Verizon 4G LTE Pantech UML290. Can I use those antenna with my 4G LTE Pantech UML290 ?

Verizon Pantech UML290 External antennas & pigtail
No. Verizon LTE operates in the 700MHz band whereas WiMax operates in the 2.6GHz band so these antennas are not compatible with LTE. Here are LTE antennas: http://www.rfwel.com/shop/700-MHz
Here is the pigtail you need for the Pantech UML290: http://www.rfwel.com/shop/Cellular-d...-Pigtails.html
The cables and lightning protection you got for the WiMax kits may be used for LTE just fine.KF7RCQ

Which Band?
1. So, Verizon is only 700MHz? Is that true for the OTHER LTE's ?
2. I thought that Clear operated in a range 2400-2700 MHz.
3. How can you tell which tower you are pointing to with the different modems.
4.VOiP plays havoc on the wireless networks because ( at least mine) is not a steady D/L U/L speed. D/L can range from 0.7 to 2.5 in a ten minute span taking 15 measurments. Is there a tweak.? Most don't recommend wireless and/or only support cable or DSL.
5. Why is the MAC adrress more restrictive than your Login? You should be able to use ANY modem for clear with your account.

4G Antenna
1. The Video I was refering to was in Instructables.com http://www.instructables.com/id/Addi...-Motorola-CPE/
You had to join (I thought) to see the whole progression, but it is on YouTube.
2. Thanks for Explaining LTE, it really helped.
3. I got a 2.4GHz Grid antenna months ago to use for Clear (wrongly advised), but the intructions were vague. I was not getting anything. Upon reviewing phoyos, I found PART of the problem...my reflector is perpendicular rather than parallel to the grid. Secondly, of course, Clear's band (as you explained), doesn't go down that low.
4. I asked you about the Muranta probe for the M modem....a U.FL connection won't work as it does for the G Modem? Also, one person ( a fan of the GEMTEK Modems)said that the connectors for the M modem had a waxy buildup that had to be scraped off to be used.
5. So, with the proper antenna(s) [comming]. I have a 20ft LMR 400 cable with N connectors. Then to get it in the house...I'm using RP-SMA connections. No FMEs, MCX, MMCX, does this matter? Also, I've even seen some with F connectors and using RG58 or RG6 cables????
6. Sorry for so many Questions...I thought this would be a simple as hooking up a TV antennae.
7. So, for optimum performance I need 2 (two) antennas for each modem. And (if directional) pointed at different towers in range?
8. Between the Home modems (either opinion or intellect ), which of the two modems is better (and why) the M or G .
****** After spending an hour trying to post this my modem is roaming???? I hope I don't loose this...I try to switch to the slower 3G USB modem****
[QUOTE=thuor;1959]There are not that many LTE deployments in the U.S. What frequency band carriers deploy on will pretty much depend on what bands they have available to them to operate on. AT&T has LTEband13 700MHz licenses as well as AWS 1700/2100 (and will pick up more AWS if merger with T-Mobile goes through). Clear recently confirmed they will lay LTE over their existing Wimax so this will go on their 2.5-2.7GHz band. If lightsquared has their way with the FCC they will deploy LTE on L1 band frequencies ~1.5GHz for MSS/ATC (mobile satellite service/ ancillary terrestrial component -- however potential interference with GPS might derail this efforts). So a simple answer is there's no simple answer as to where carriers will deploy LTE and in reality it doesnt matter. Lower frequencies are better for indoor coverage though.
Clear WiMax operates at 2.5-2.7 GHz. 2.4GHz ISM frequency band is for WiFi.
