Next time you re out-and-about look around you - every day thousands of Australians use external antennas to enjoy fast, uninterrupted wireless broadband internet. If you re in a rural, hilly, low signal area, or you can t get a good signal indoors there s no need to tear your hair out over slow mobile broadband crashing or dropping out half way - an external antenna is often all you need.

Most antenna cables terminate with a standard connection, most commonly a female FME connector. To plug an antenna into your phone or wireless modem, you need a short cable that acts as a conversion from the FME connector to the device-specific connector that will plug into the antenna port on your device.

The Sierra Wireless 3G Aircard 753S device uses a technology called Dual Carrier HSPA+. While this does not require the use of two antennas, the second antenna port is a "persity receive" external antenna port designed to stabilise and improve download speeds by capturing additional radio waves.

Thanks to Verizon sblowout at CES, we ve already been treated to a couple of LTE-friendly mobile hotspots from the likes of Samsung and Novatel Wireless, butSierra Wirelessis joining the crowd here at Mobile World Congress. The outfit has just revealed its two newest mobile hotpots, the AirCard 754S and 753S. The former supports dual-carrier LTE, while the latter handles dual-carrier HSPA+, enabling up to five WiFi devices to surf on either of the fastest two mobile superhighways. We re told that the 753S can hit downlink rates as high as 42Mbps (and upload rates near 5.76Mbps) on a DC-HSPA+ network, while the 754S can reach 100Mbps (down) / 50Mbps (up) while operating on an LTE network. Both of these are right around the size of a deck of cards, and no software installation is required to get em working. There s also an integrated LCD that provides a look at WiFi access information, battery life, network signal strength, and the number of devices connected, with audible alerts and a web admin interface available as well. The duo is expected to ship at some point during 2011 s second quarter, but there s no news yet on which (if any) carriers will be picking them up.

Moving right along, Canada s own Telus will be offering yet another new one from Sierra Wireless this March: the AirCard 319U USB modem, a device werecently spottedin the FCC s database. This one promises download speeds of up to 42Mbps and upload speeds approaching 5.76Mbps, with a swiveling design that allows the body of the modem to be tucked up against the side of the notebook and protects it from being damaged by accidental bumps. The LTE-friendly AirCard 320U is the USB version of the 754S hotspot shown above, with an articulating and pivoting hinge that works with the widest possible variety of USB port placements, and if all goes well, it ll ship during Q2 2011 for an undisclosed rate. Sierra plans on having Mac and PC support for the whole lot, and we ll be digging for details surrounding price and availability.
