The antenna can certainly bring about an (albeit small) improvement, although I have a big question mark over the cost/benefit ratio.
Pay particular attention to the "fair use policy":
If you use over 60GB/month your speed will be throttled.
Digital Republic does not have this, but runs on the sunrise network.
I was able to do some research and it is indeed correct, this variant comes without a cable. According to the manufacturer's instructions, the antenna has "N-type (F) connectors" and if your router has SMA connectors, you can use the following cable:

This network antenna is compatible with Mikrotik routers with an N-Type connector, as it uses this type of connector. To use this antenna with a Mikrotik router, you need to check that the router has an N-Type antenna input, or get an appropriate adapter. If you buy both products, you'll get the antenna and the router, but you may need a suitable coaxial cable and possibly a connector adapter depending on the Mikrotik router's ports. No other specific equipment is required for a standard indoor or outdoor installation, as the IP65 protection of the antenna guarantees its robustness outdoors.

The antenna listed on digitec.ch with the reference A-XPOL-0002-V3-03 is a different version from the one with the identifier A-XPOL-0002-V3-02. Both are V3 generations of the same Poynting XPOL-2-5G series, but they differ in particular in the length and type of coaxial cable, as well as in weight and connector: the V3-02 version uses a 5m Twin HDF 195 cable with N-Type (F) connector and weighs around 1.43kg, while the V3-03 version has a 10m cable with SMA (M) connector and weighs around 1.73kg.
In short, they are not exactly the same antenna, but close variants of the same generation with different cable and connector specifications.

The antenna works with most MIMO 2x2-compatible routers, such as those from Huawei or D-Link, provided they have suitable SMA connectors.
To optimise the signal, point the antenna at the nearest base station, avoiding obstacles, and adjust the position to get the best possible throughput.
If you're in any doubt about exact compatibility, check the type of connector on your router.

yes, has nothing to do with the supplier. and covers the frequency bands for 4G and 5G/NR
The part has N-male or N-female connections, your modem possibly SMA-male or SMA-female. The antenna cables (you will need two) therefore require matching N connectors on one end and probably matching SMA connectors on the other. Choose the antenna cables in a thickness that matches the length. You can also use antenna cables with N connectors on both sides and then use a short, thin and only 50cm long intermediate antenna cable with two matching N connectors on one side and connectors matching the modem on the other side for the connection to the modem.

It's not a device, it's just a directional antenna. If you are in Switzerland, you can find the locations of the 5G masts on the geoportal: https://www.bakom.admin.ch/bakom...
The antenna must then be aligned +/- to this mobile phone mast on the outside of the building (even if you have no direct visual contact) and permanently mounted.
It definitely helps with bandwidth and stability. If you really don't have any line of sight and you only have reception at all due to reflections, I would recommend an outdoor omni antenna.
The other thing is that not all 5G routers are the same, there are many different frequency bands and routers that do MIMO multiplexing and those that do not. Certain routers can use up to 4 bands simultaneously, etc. But I'm not an expert on this either.
The MikroTik Routeur Chateau LTE 5G R16 Wifi ac 5 ports Gigabit can do pretty much everything :-)
Recommendation: ZTE Mc889 with T3000 in a set. I've had the best results with it.
the antenna has 2x SMA connectors, check if your router has these connectors, otherwise you need adapters e.g. to TS-9
Yes, this antenna is also available with a 5m cable, it is model A-XPOL-0002-V3-01

Depending on the version of this antenna (for available options see https://poynting.tech/antennas... ) it comes either with an attached 5m or 10m antenna cable, or with 2x N-type connectors. If you get a version with attached antenna cable, you'll have to buy two adapter plugs to match the TS9 connectors of the X5. If you get the version with 2x N-type connectors, it's up to you to either buy 2x coax cables with N-type connectors on one side and TS9 connectors on the other side for the X5 OR 2x coax cables with N-type connectors on one side and any type of connectors (N-type, SMA, etc) on the other side PLUS 2x adapter plugs to match the TS9 connectors of the X5.

it is a directional antenna (with cross polarisation)
no
The prices are different mainly due to different sources of supply, as we work with different suppliers and the purchasing conditions differ depending on the supplier. However, please note that these are also versions with different manufacturer numbers XPOL-2-5G-01
and XPOL-2-5G-02. These are listed as Product Options on the manufacturer's website at https://poynting.tech/antennas.... This item is A-XPOL-0002-V3-01, with 5m cable. The other version, A-XPOL-0002-V3-02, should not have a cable included, according to the manufacturer's website.
Buy a bigger cable? Knowing that it will degrade the SNR... otherwise opt for a different product for example from Mikrotik with the router integrated in the antenna to output directly in Ethernet instead of coax.
According to our information, this is 5 m.
If they have different frequencies, is it possible for you to determine via the router which frequencies it is aiming at?
It should also be noted that the router software usually chooses the better/stable "connection" and keeps changing if another one is better. This means that not only the signal values are important, it could also be that the antenna with the better signal has more connections and data throughput (use by other users), has more sources of interference, or has less bandwidth (Mhz). This causes the router to automatically aim for a "better" antenna.
If you can target the antenna through the frequency, you may then notice through a speed test that it is not better at all.
