There should be a lot of useful information

from helium-guides.

Just a rough guide that just re-details the connectors on the hotspots and explains the primary methods of connection.

Primarily 3 different possible combinations which are:

Both units - Included antenna screws directly into hotspot.

Then optional / other alternatives are:

Indoor unit - the 3 glass fiber ones we sell can be connected to the indoor unit with an RP-SMA to N Type cable. (Included with antenna)

Outdoor unit - The 3 glass fiber ones we sell can be connected directly to the unit, or with an N Type extension (sold seperately)

Looking good @salmanfarisvp ,

Only thing would be to add a diagram to show the outdoor hotspt directly connecting to the antenna too.

Sure, Which antenna? The 3dBi one?

from helium-guides.

Yeah, connects directly into the hotspot as well and via cable.

Done.
