I’m looking for recommendations for Really Good antennas with SMA connectors that are suitable for Sixfab devices, both for cellular and GPS.

This antenna on your site looks good for cellular:

> **[LTE/5G High Performance Antenna SMA - Sixfab](https://sixfab.com/product/lte-5g-sma-high-performance-blade-antenna/)**

> This is constructed with an ergonomic blade design to blend well to the outside of a device. It is a hinged swivel-mounted antenna designed to work with various orientations or in free space for ease of integration. Perform greatly for LTE-M and 5G...

Although I am not clear if I should use that for the diversity or main antenna, or have one of those for each. Do I really need both antennas?

I’m thinking this antenna looks good for GPS:

I’m also curious if the above antenna would work fine for cellular as well.

Hi @davidbonn ,

It can be used for both, but if you are going to use a single antenna, you should use it as the main antenna.  
The Linx ANT-LTE-MON-SMA-E antenna is optimized for LTE-M and NB-IoT. Our 5G High-performance antenna might work better for CAT4 high-speed LTE. The following antenna will work fine:

> **[TG.08 Cellular / GPS / GLONASS / Galileo / BeiDou Monopole Antenna Ø10\*72mm -...](https://www.taoglas.com/product/tg-08-cellulargpsglonass-beidou-monopole-antenna-2/)**
