2 antenna on one pole?

[wiredgeorge]

I am in the process of installing a HiBoost 4G 2.0 RV Traveler cell booster. Outside antenna toes to booster amp to inside antenna.

I also have a King WiFi Swift Omnidirectional WiFi Antenna and WiFi Router and Range Extender. Also has an outdoor antenna with coax to go into the camper to the WiFi router.

I have a telescoping pole that is about 2' long that extends to about 4' to clear stuff on the roof. MY QUESTIION (finally) since I will likely be using one system or the other at a time, does it make sense to mount both antennas on the same mast? If I did use both, would there be interference? The cell phone frequencies (4G LTE) and WiFi are different.

If you understand these things, give me some tips! Thanks wg

There shouldn’t be any interference at all. Consider my AT&T MiFi hotspot; it is 4g and provides WiFi to any devices that connect to it. In my company car where I used the MiFi with the WeBoost inches away, still no issues. I say go for it! I am thinking of doing the same as you so we can take extended trips and I can work from the road if needed.

The Hiboost tech told me the same thing as they eventually got back to me. The outside antenna and inside antenna radiate in a donut pattern (according to the tech) and have to be situated on different horizontal planes. Since I am having a hard time finding an extended WiFi coax cable, I may stick the antenna above the current penetration I made for a coax for my Dish TV set up which I dumped due to cost. I have a Roku and that provides a lot more entertainment anyway and can either use 4G LTE from the one system or the Wifi from the campground system.

Since we have 8 dogs (plus one we are baby sitting till July) and 3 cats, we don't go far and I know all the campgrounds as far as 4G LTE and WiFi signals. Watching TV is why I go camping as I love to sit in my recliner and veg just like at home.
