We love having a bit of a play with our products so see if we can improve and learn. In this video we take an old satellite TV dish and mount a Poynting XPOL-2 v3 (variant 2 with N-Type Connectors) in-front of the dish.
Our tests uses a Huawei B818 modem inside our little tin foil house to weaken the signal.
Results are astonishing, with the RSRP improving from a respectable -99dBm to a phenomenal -72dBm.
The throughput is also better, with the download marginally improving but the upload speeds doubled.
