Blackhawk 'Fatboy' Omni High Gain Antenna

Ideal For

• Caravan and RV mobile internet setups
• Rural and regional homes
• Fixed wireless broadband users
• Cel-Fi mobile signal booster systems
• Boats and marine installations (protected mounting)
• Remote work / off-grid connectivity setups

Improve Weak Mobile Reception Anywhere You Need It

The Blackhawk Omni High Gain Antenna is designed to strengthen mobile signal reception for 4G and 5G devices in areas where coverage is weak, inconsistent, or unstable.

It is commonly used to improve performance for:

• Mobile broadband modems
• Caravan and RV internet setups
• Remote and regional properties
• Fixed wireless installations
• Cel-Fi signal booster systems
• Stronger, more stable mobile data signal
• Improved 4G/5G reception across all major networks
• Reliable performance in weak coverage areas
• Easy omni-directional installation (no aiming required)

What You Can Expect

When installed correctly, this antenna can help:

• Improve signal strength at your modem or router
• Stabilise connection drops in weak coverage areas
• Increase usable 4G/5G bandwidth in fringe zones
• Reduce network fluctuation in moving or remote setups
• Improve performance for data-heavy applications

No Aiming Required

Unlike directional antennas, this omni design:

• Receives signal from all directions horizontally
• Is easier to install and configure
• Works well in environments where towers are multiple or unclear

This makes it ideal for:

• caravans
• mobile setups
• temporary installs
• multi-tower coverage areas

More Gain Does Not Mean More Power Everywhere

A common misconception is that higher gain antennas “boost” signal everywhere.

In reality:

• Antennas reshape signal reception
• Higher gain focuses performance horizontally
• Installation height and location still matter

This antenna is designed to balance coverage width + usable signal improvement in weak areas.

Operating on all 4G/5G* frequencies in Australia and abroad, this high grade antenna can be used in a range of residential, commercial, and industrial mobile broadband applications on any mobile network. This is the ideal omni directional external antenna for Cel-Fi repeater systems.

The Blackhawk Wideband Omni Antenna provides an ideal solution for 4G/5G* voice and data applications. Blackhawk wideband omni directional antennas provide high gain across the full cellular band 700 to 2700 MHz regardless of mounting direction, allowing quick and easy installation with no technical know-how required.

The true wideband performance has been achieved through a clever engineering design utilising multi-sized collinear radiators and microwave-grade combiners, demonstrating consistently high gain with exceptional azimuthal stability.

• 6 dBi gain across lower bands 698-960 MHz
• 6 dBi gain across upper bands 1710-2700 MHz
• Ruggedised construction for Australian conditions
• UV-stable PVC construction
• Stainless steel L-bracket included
• Integrated N Female connector
• Optional 6m or 10m flexible PT240 LSHF cable pre-fitted with an SMA male connector.

You typically upgrade when:

• Your modem struggles indoors but works slightly better near windows
• Signal drops in certain rooms or areas
• You’re in a fringe coverage zone (not fully rural, not city strong signal)
• You need more stable upload/download performance
• You’re relying on mobile data as your primary internet connection
• Designed for Australian 4G/5G networks
• Wideband 698–2700 MHz compatibility
• Rugged outdoor construction
• Suitable for residential and mobile installations
• Used in professional mobile broadband setups

Will this work with my modem?

Yes, if your modem supports external antenna inputs and operates on 4G/5G frequencies (most do in Australia).

Will it work if I have no signal at all?

No antenna can create signal where none exists. It can only improve existing coverage.

Do I need to aim it?

No. This is an omni-directional antenna.

Is this suitable for rural areas?

Yes, especially for fringe or moderate coverage zones.
