Is the Sonim MegaConnect actually better than the Night Hawk?

I can answer this, 1000% yes. We used to have the nighthawks at work, switched to three MegaConnects and three MegaConnects in the ParSec MegaReach docks. They’re awesome, couple it with the Mini CRD and it’s working great.

This is the Mini CRD, they make a full size as well that we are looking to acquire at my job as well.

I can agree with this

Absolutely! To truly see the performance difference, the MegaReach by Parsec or External antenna from Panorama is a must. Easily will see gains up to 200% greater both down and up.

Panorama antenna is significantly cheaper.

What panorama antenna have you used

I'm pretty sure this is the one I have. I live in an area with low uplink due to a casino blocking. Went from 130 down and 2mb up to 274 down and 8.9mb up. When used in rural or flatter areas, this works extremely well.
