Recommended External Antenna for the Charlie IoT Kit

EAD WTR6138 - 5G/4G/LTE Terminal Antenna

The WTR6138 is a 5G/4G/LTE terminal mount antenna mounted via its SMA connector. Ideal for 5G/4G/LTE routers and modems, the WTR138 offers reliable performance across the 617-3800 MHz bands. Housed in a tough nylon sheath, the antenna is robust whilst the hinged based means that the WTR6138 can be fixed in a vertical or horizontal position.
