    • NOTE: Antenna spec sheets will call out if a ground plane is included or if needed and the minimum size. Refer to https://customer.cradlepoint.com/s/article/Modem-Signal-Strength-and-Signal-Quality to determine if the signal strength is sufficient. NOTE: Antenna types may be mixed and matched so long as they all have sufficient reception and do not exceed FCC regulations (i.e.
