The Mikrotek mANT LTE50 is an indoor/outdoor omnidirectional antenna with a 5 dBi gain that supports MIMO.
It comes with two female SMA connectors on the antenna unit - cables must be purchased separately.
This antenna itself is a small form factor similar to the Netgear MIMO but, unlike the Netgear, is omnidirectional.

Cellular antennas can be a vital part of your signal enhancing strategy to get a better signal, and thus better cellular data performance. They come in many shapes, sizes and varieties.
They can be used directly connected to your mobile hotspots or cellular embedded routers, or they might connect to your cellular booster. They come in omni-directional vs directional, single vs MIMO, and might support different frequency bands. They come in combination antennas with Wi-Fi and GPS.
But most importantly, is your installation options on your RV or boat.
So before choosing an antenna, be sure to understand all of these variables - and keep in mind that there likely isn't a single 'one size fits all' solution here. You may need to make compromises, or even have speciality antennas for challenging signal areas.
