5G Antennas
Many industrial 5G routers, inlcuding the H685, RUTX50, R5020 and RUTC50 come supplied with elbow joint, blade / paddle style 5G antennas which screw directly to the router and are designed to be used when the router is located indoors where there is a 5G service.
Becuase of the frequencies used by 5G networks, the signal is not very good at penetrating walls so in many cases, for optimum 5G connectivity many installers will use their 5G router in conjunction with an Outdoor 5G Antenna.
