Can anybody tell me for what band the IAT-10 is (most) effective (900/1800/1900). Just wondering if I should consider it.

"The general idea is yes. Ericsson has something called "high performance antenna IAT-10". Dr. A. Merrington has this to say about it:
"The details are for NPI (part of the Airstream network) in Michigan but I would guess its true for any service area and service provider.
If you are in an area with a reasonably good signal (a three or so on the T28 signal intensity meter), you will get a stronger signal. It will boost a 3 to a 5 (max). If you are in an area with a very weak signal (a one or so) you get a slightly better signal - a 1.5 (flashes between a 1 and a 2) to a 3. If you are in an area with no signal, it won't do a thing. I lived about half a mile beyong the signal limits from two towers and now, with the IAT-10, I get a weak signal in my yard. I still can't pull a signal into the buildings.
Is it worth buying? For me it was because, as a I said, I lived just outside the old service area, now I don't. The other thing I forgot to mention is that it seems to hold onto signals whilst driving in the car better with fewer dead spots. It offers an incremental improvement rather than a significant improvement but if that's all you need, then it'll work for you."

Thanks for the link Adamizer, but the site doesn't say anything about it's effective range.
I mean in my country there is pretty good coverage (99 % of the country is covered). Only inside buildings the reception can get weaker.
My mobile carrier works on 900/1800 (yet mostly on 900 MHz, 1800 is just for when it gets crowdy). So if the antenna only works well on 1800/1900 MHz it won't do me much good.

Oops,
You were posting when I was typing
Ignore the message above.
So i guess the antenna works for 1900 MHz (the testimonial was from USA).
Thanks Adamizer

TNX,
Cytech
After the weekend i'll go to my Ericsson service center and look in to it there. He's pretty well stocked so I think will have one left

as I wrote in the post I deleted....
since 900MHz is the "base" frequency of the GSM900/1800 network... it works well on all three frequencies... |
