Huawei CPE Pro 6 + Poynting XPOL-24 | Does an External Antenna Help?

Does an external antenna really improve long-range 5G performance, or is it just marketing?

In this video, we test the Huawei CPE Pro 6 together with the Poynting XPOL-24 in a challenging long-range 5G SA scenario.

Huawei claims up to 12 dBi antenna gain from the internal antennas of the CPE Pro 6. In this video, we put that claim to the test and compare:

Internal antennas vs external antenna

Direct TS9 adapters vs adapter cable

Signal values, speed, and real-world performance

Whether the external antenna actually provides meaningful gains

All tests are performed in 5G Standalone mode, using the same location, cell, and conditions.

If you are considering an external antenna for a Huawei 5G router, or testing long-range 5G connections yourself, this video will help you understand what to realistically expect.
