The choice between external and internal 4G antennas affects the performance and functionality of our wireless devices. Without an integrated antenna, we cannot consider a device as wireless, which raises the question: “Why?” The answer is simple. Without an antenna, the device cannot communicate. These antennas can be located either inside or outside the device. Selecting the right antenna can be a challenging process. This article provides an overview of both antennas, covering their design, signal reception quality, installation process, performance in different environments, use cases, and maintenance. These factors are critical in the selection of a 4G antenna. Basic Differences The main difference between internal antennas and external antennas is the placement. Internal 4G antennas are located inside the device and are usually not visible to users. The internal antenna integrates seamlessly into the device, resulting in a unified design. It results in a compact and smaller appearance for the device. However, it may slightly impact signal reception. On
