The antennae are not directional. I got it for a trip to england for Janet's mum's 90th birthday. It is there for emergency use but I may instead enhance the FB2700 by plugging a USB 3G ‘dongle’ failover device into it. The Solwise will then be available for any of Janet's guests to borrow and use in their hut for a charge if they are really desperate for some internet. But the problem is how to charge them for it. Another application is for when I next get stuck in hospital, as I have found that you cannot get any signal unless you can park some kit in a window, and I have done exactly that before, parking a phone in a window and using 802.11n to bridge to my iPad in my hospital bed. The device has two optional upgrade antennae on extension cables to get more gain, also non-directional. I should see if I can find a directional antenna for an FB2700 dongle, but the interface specs of these devices are fairly chaotic and a lot of them do not work with a Firebrick because it would have to cope with so very many different types of interface architecture. Since I have an absolutely perfect clear line of sight from the office window to the basestation, I am hoping for good results.
