Why is there a need and in what cases is it necessary to amplify the Yota LTE / WiMAX signal?
WiMAX technology was actively discussed in our country in 2008, when the first commercial network under the Yota brand was put into operation. Since then, the demand for mobile Internet has been quite high. There is an active development of the network in Moscow, St. Petersburg, Krasnodar, Sochi and Ufa, but the network coverage is not yet complete and it is not always possible to provide a stable signal and high quality of communication.
There are places - "Dead Zones", where the signal level periodically disappears or it is too weak to provide uninterrupted and high-speed Internet access. The question arises: how to amplify the Yota LTE signal?
Indoors, the signal level is weaker than outdoors due to power loss when the radio wave passes through thick walls. Therefore, the easiest and most common way is to buy a USB extension cable and place the modem as close to the window as possible. It must be understood that this option will only allow a slight amplification of the Yota signal.
The most efficient and optimal option for amplifying an LTE signal is to connect external antennas for Yota, which allows you to get high-quality and fast Internet access.
In what cases is it necessary to amplify the Yota signal?
- If you are at a small distance from the base station and the modem does not see the Yota signal
- When the modem or router sees a weak signal but can connect
- If you need to increase the speed of your Internet connection
On the market you can find a huge number antennas for signal amplification Yota different parameters and manufacturers. These antennas are connected to the corresponding connector on the USB modem or to the LTE router. The router, as a rule, has a special connector for connecting an external antenna, but there is no such connector in modems.
In this case, you have to modify the modem socket by removing the protective film and attaching the so-called "pigtail" to it. Unfortunately this operation voids your modem warranty, but it allows you to increase the speed of receiving and sending data. We can offer you antennas for Yota, in which the modem itself is used as an antenna feed.
What antenna parameters affect Yota signal gain?
It must be understood that the antenna is a passive element, and there is no LTE amplifier in it. Amplification of the Yota signal is achieved only by changing the antenna pattern and more accurate focusing of the signal. A quantitative measure of the effectiveness of the antenna is the gain (KU). The more KU the antenna has, the narrower its radiation pattern and the more difficult it will be to direct such an antenna exactly at the base station. Moreover, the antenna will have to be adjusted in 2 planes: in the horizontal and in the vertical.
We present you the most powerful antenna for Yota - parabolic MIMO antenna HiTE Grid with 2x24 dBi gain and built-in modem. No more thinking about pigtails and expensive microwave cables! No signal loss in cable and connectors. You not only save your money, but also get a real chance to catch a signal where the modem simply “did not see” it before.
With our antenna, the signal will always be stable, and the data transfer rate will be much higher than in traditional kits with pigtails and cable! To date, a high-gain MIMO antenna is the most effective solution for connecting a country house or summer cottage to the Yota network!
Yota is a "newcomer" among mobile operators, founded four years ago. During the first year of its existence, Yota's subscriber base exceeded one million users. In 2018, as in the past, the company provides services under its own brand, but uses a cellular network and switches from another operator.
Benefits of the new Yota network
The new network has several advantages that distinguish it favorably from other operators. Let's look at the most significant advantages of the Iota network:
- unlimited Internet (100%) - there are no restrictions on traffic and speed, even when a certain limit is reached. You can watch many videos and movies in good quality from your smartphone or tablet;
- free calls within the network - you can now call your loved ones and friends without any restrictions;
- free messages - you can send SMS without restrictions throughout Russia;
- lack of federal roaming - now you can call from city to city completely free of charge, just connect a package with minutes;
- minutes for calls to numbers of other operators - you choose the number of minutes yourself.
Due to its features, the young Iota network is interesting for travelers, Internet surfers, businessmen with frequent business trips, and just all advanced people.
Network coverage
The coverage area of the young operator extends to almost all regions of Russia. But not all residents of our country can use the services of the Yota network today. Therefore, for the convenience of customers, this mobile operator offers to use the Iota network card. Using this map, you can find out the operating coverage area of the Yota Internet provider in a particular area.
Fans of modern smartphones and Internet users know that 3G differs from 4G in the way data is transmitted. In the Iota network, packet data and voice transmission in 3G standards is excellent. What can not be said about the 4G coverage area, the fourth generation of wireless communication currently has a small coverage area. But soon Yota representatives promise to solve this problem.
There may also be problems with purchasing a SIM card from a young operator. Today you can buy a SIM-card only in certain areas of our country. To find out in which settlements in Russia you can buy a SIM card, you need to visit the operator's website.
The popularity of the Iota network card
Already today, the mobile coverage area is spreading throughout our country from west to east. Residents of 65 major cities can easily use the network services. As for small towns, wireless Internet is best only in the Moscow and Leningrad regions.
To find out if your city is in the Internet distribution zone, you need to go to the official website of the operator. In a special section, you can see Yota coverage areas. The city you have chosen will immediately appear on Yandex.Map. Each city has its own color, which corresponds to the quality of the network coverage.
Yota operator has the following coverage maps:
- voice transmission and 2G - communication and Internet services in the 2G standard;
- Internet 3G - high-speed Internet in the 3G standard;
- Internet 4G - high-speed Internet LTE;
- possible coverage area - wireless network technologies are not yet available.
Where does Yota coverage work best?
So far, a young operator cannot guarantee 100% quality communication. Despite the fact that all base stations are operating normally, the quality of communication can vary dramatically. No one keeps official statistics on the operation of the new network, it can already be seen that wireless communication in St. Petersburg works even better than in Moscow.
A kind request to residents of the following cities: Moscow, St. Petersburg, Rostov, Vladimir, Kursk, Nizhny Novgorod, Astrakhan, Orenburg, Krasnoyarsk, Pyatigorsk, Tyumen, Ufa, Khabarovsk, Bryansk, Chelyabinsk, Krasnodar and Sochi, as well as other cities where he works new network operator Yota, leave a comment about the quality of communication in your region. Together we will improve the quality of the network.

Despite the fact that most operators promise stable 4G coverage, the declared speed of which corresponds to 100-300 Mbps, the map clearly shows that this coverage is available only in small areas, while the rest of the zones remain with an Internet speed of 10-30 Mbps per second.
A large area is occupied by LTE and 3G coverage, which occupy almost all areas on the map, but upon closer inspection, you can still notice "deaf" zones. The leader among LTE and 4G coverage today is Megafon, whose operators are doing everything possible not only for the maximum area of the distributed network, but also to maintain the declared speed and quality of communication.
In Yekaterinburg, Beeline has the densest and most confident coverage, it is in first place, followed by MTS, Yota and Tele2 in descending order. Despite this assessment, the networks of these operators are quite in demand and stable, with the exception of dead zones that reflect the signal or do not transmit it. For such cases, you will need an amplifier to improve the signal, which you can purchase on our website. Our experienced and professional managers will conduct a detailed consultation and help you choose the most appropriate operator in your case.

Many who have used or are using Yota unlimited Internet are faced with the problem of a weak signal, which leads to low data download speeds. This is, of course, frustrating and frustrating. It even happens that it seemed to be normal before, but now the signal is bad. What to do if the Iota signal is weak, and how to strengthen it?
Consider the causes of the problem and how to solve it.
What to do if the Iota signal is weak?
- Try to move the modem closer to the window, preferably in the direction of the Yota base station. This may require a USB extension cable. It is not recommended to use a USB extension more than 5 meters, in addition, cheap USB cables may not work with the modem at all.
- Try to move the modem to another room, to another floor. Thick walls, especially brick and reinforced concrete, hinder signal propagation.
- Use special . In this case, the panel antenna will help to catch and amplify the scattered signal, and the parabolic one will help you tune in to the base station at a great distance. It is recommended to use antennas with MIMO technology, as this allows you to catch the signal simultaneously in the horizontal and vertical planes.
Note that the antenna is a passive element, and there is no 4G LTE amplifier in it. Amplification of the Yota signal is achieved only by changing the antenna pattern and more accurate focusing of the signal. A quantitative measure of the effectiveness of the antenna is the gain (KU). The more KU the antenna has, the narrower its radiation pattern and the more difficult it will be to point such an antenna exactly at the base station. Moreover, it is necessary to tune the antenna in two planes: horizontally and vertically.

The quality of 4G Internet Yota in different cities of Russia
It's no secret that in different cities, the quality and speed of mobile Internet on a 4G network can vary greatly. Moreover, even within the same city, the Internet speed may be higher or lower depending on the connection location.
Therefore, even if your location on the map is within the coverage area of the 4G network, this does not give a 100% guarantee that the Internet speed will be at a high level when connected. This is due to the following factors:
- Firstly, the Yota coverage map does not take into account the features of the terrain and is modeled based on the line of sight of the signal from the base stations. Thus, the Iota coverage area marked on the map gives only a general idea of the network coverage area.
- Secondly, even in the zone of good reception of the 4G network, the Internet speed can be very low. Such a problem often occurs either due to overload of the nearest base station, or due to dense urban development.
- Thirdly, the distance from the base station matters. So, despite the fact that the base station is in direct line of sight, it is not always possible to connect and configure Iota Internet due to the long distance to the station.
Therefore, it is best to check the quality and speed of 4G Internet from Iota yourself. The operator willingly provides such an opportunity to its subscribers in the form of a 7-day trial period when purchasing a Yota modem. If during the operation of the device it turns out that the Yota network coverage in your area is of poor quality, and the Internet is slow, you can return the modem within this period and get your money back.
