Why do we need multi-polarized antennas for mining?

With both aboveground and underground mining, physical obstructions such as machinery and terrain can disrupt wireless paths and cause reflectivity, multi-path, absorption, and phasing. Multi-polarized antennas that reduce signal degradation and support consistent voice, data, and video communications are an important part of the solution.

Is higher antenna gain better for mining?

Would love to see some pics of people's antenna setups (and any tips to maximize mining power). Thanks! It’ll be the same ones as the Helium Hotspots. Higher Gain isn’t always better. If you’re in urban city environment you’ll do better with the 3dbi The higher gain you go the more narrow and focused the signal gets.

Can a miner be connected to an antenna?

Also, the earth operates as a great RF sink. If you live in a hilly location the RF signal will not penetrate through hills and valleys. When connecting your miner to an antenna, it’s important that you size your cable for the distance you require for proper antenna placement.
