While the many satellite options continue to reduce in price, high gain directional antennae still offer a cost-effective option and redundancy to get our data home. Our very remote stations provide us special challenges to avoid intermittent cellular communication – particularly during poor weather.
A passive, high gain directional antenna on a lonely remote ridge remains a beautiful thing, in this case, it significantly improved the cellular signal strength from 16% to 48% of full strength.
The site also has satellite connectivity, and the client & Mote can choose how to receive the data rain hail or shine at very low connectivity costs.
