I'm living in northern Baja California, Mexico, about 100 miles below the border from San Diego. Tel Cel put up a cell tower on a hill about 3 miles away. I signed up for a data plan and got their Nokia CS-10 modem. Data signal is weak & erratic. Tel Cel uses 850 MHz / 2100 MHz. Does your company sell a more sophisticated Internet stick? I would like to purchase a roof top antenna and need at least 30' of cable.

You are limited primarily by a low signal strength. Consider replacing the USB stick with one that has an external antenna port such as the Sierra Wireless USB308. Then add a 9dBi multiband cellular antenna and low-loss LMR-400 cable. STRONGLY recommend a coax lightning protection device.

Do you have a recommended universal modem that will give reasonable performance and has an external ANTENNA JACK for AT&T, T-Mobile in the US, Telcel & Movistar in Mexico?
