The Taoglas TG.66 Antenna is a new small paddle antenna. It covers the full 600 MHz to 6000 MHz spectrum in a form factor about the size of your thumb.
The standard Peplink Cellular Paddle antennas ACW-234 & ACW-234 loosely cover 600 MHz to 6000 MHz range with a peak of 3 dBi in the mid range frequencies and lower gains from 1-2 dBi in the upper and lower frequency ranges. In our testing the Peplink Paddles perform very well and sometimes outperform antennas with long cable losses.
It is our expectation that this antenna would improve on the default paddle antennas provided in cellular routers.

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.
We recommend starting with our Guide to Selecting Antennas, and then moving on to our other guides addressing related topics:
