Coverage And Results

The Crossbow antenna is engineered to reach cell towers up to 7–10 km away, depending on terrain, tower output, and line-of-sight conditions. With its ultra-directional design and narrow 45° horizontal beamwidth, it delivers a tightly focused signal for maximum performance. This precision makes it especially effective in rural or fringe areas where signal is weak or scattered. When connected to a 4G/5G router or paired with a compatible signal booster, the Crossbow provides a significant boost in download/upload speeds and network stability — making it ideal for remote homes, farms, business sites, and lodges that rely on fast and consistent cellular data.

Product Information For Crossbow 5G - Perfect Antenna for Routers

Crossbow 5G Directional Antenna – Precision Signal for Cell Signal Boosters, Routers & More

Need stronger, faster data speeds from your LTE or 5G router? The Crossbow 5G Directional Antenna is engineered to target and capture the cleanest possible signal, delivering peak performance for your cellular data devices - whether you're at home, on the farm, or running a business off-grid.

Why choose the Crossbow? This high-gain, ultra-directional antenna zeroes in on distant or faint signals with laser-like precision. Its narrow beamwidth ensures minimal interference and maximum signal quality, making it ideal for remote and low-signal locations. With up to 11 dBi gain across wide 4G and 5G frequency bands (617–4000 MHz), the Crossbow enhances your router’s ability to latch onto the nearest cell tower, ensuring more reliable connectivity and faster downloads - even in tough signal environments.

Key benefits: Unlike omni antennas that scatter their focus, the Crossbow directs its power toward the tower, improving throughput, lowering latency, and enabling stronger upload/download speeds. Install it outdoors on a mast or pole and aim it directly at your nearest cellular tower for optimal results - perfect for rural homes, holiday properties, and backup connectivity at offices. Compatible with 4G/5G routers and modems that use SMA or N-Type connections. Covers both current LTE and emerging 5G bands - so you get a signal solution that performs today and is ready for tomorrow. Built to withstand South Africa’s varied weather conditions, from coastal winds to Karoo heat.

Installation note: The Crossbow requires directional aiming to get the most out of its capabilities. While it takes a bit more setup than plug-and-play omnis, the performance difference is substantial - especially if you’re located in areas where signal strength is weak or erratic.

If you're serious about upgrading your data experience and need a high-performance antenna to feed your 4G/5G router the signal it deserves, the Crossbow 5G Directional Antenna hits the target every time.

Product FAQ

1 What devices is the Crossbow antenna compatible with?

The Crossbow is compatible with most 4G LTE and 5G routers, modems, and hotspots that have external antenna ports - including brands like Teltonika, Pepwave, Huawei, MoFi, Netgear Nighthawk, and others. It connects via N-Type Female connectors and may require an adapter depending on your device.

2 Does the Crossbow antenna support 5G?

Yes. The Crossbow supports a wide frequency range (617–4000 MHz), covering both 4G LTE and Sub-6 GHz 5G bands used by South African carriers like Vodacom, MTN, Cell C, and Telkom.

3 How do I aim the Crossbow for the best signal?

Being a directional antenna, the Crossbow must be aimed precisely at the nearest or strongest cell tower. You can use mobile apps (like Network Cell Info Lite or OpenSignal) to find tower locations and then fine-tune alignment based on signal strength readings on your router.

4 Can I use the Crossbow antenna indoors?

No. The Crossbow is designed for outdoor use only. It should be mounted on a pole, mast, or rooftop for line-of-sight to the tower. Indoor placement will significantly reduce its performance.

5 What kind of cable should I use with the Crossbow?

We recommend using low-loss coaxial cable (like Bolton400 or LMR400) to preserve signal strength over distance. For most installations, keep cable length as short as possible to avoid loss.
