Proxicast's fixed location MIMO antenna with 2 female-N connectors works for signal enhancing a cellular device with two antenna ports. It is a directional antenna, meaning it will require pointing at each stop.
MIMO (Multiple In Multiple Out) is the use of more than one antenna to increase signal performance. All LTE devices internally have at least two antennas to take advantage of this technology. This antenna is designed with two antennas inside it's panel case, and then had two plugs that can go directly into a device with TS-9 ports (typically used on mobile hotspots like JetPacks and MiFis).
The antenna incorporates two separately fed ultra wideband elements in a single housing which focus radio energy into a 75 degree beam. The elements are set at 45 degree angles to provide cross-polarized MIMO connectivity for LTE radio equipment.
The antenna’s compact, light-weight rugged housing, heavy duty mounting hardware and corrosion-resistant materials make it ideal for outdoor applications. It can be pole or wall mounted.
With appropriate adapter cables (not included), this antenna is compatible with cellular modems, hotspots and 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.
