Signal Reception Quality | Remote areas with weak signals | Industry Standard: 0.5dB noise figure ▶ Our Base: 0.3dB ▲ Our Advanced: 0.2dB (meets DVB-S2X specs) | ▲ Advanced reduces signal loss by 33% for clearer HD streams | Higher cost for advanced models; base may struggle in extreme interference |
Durability/Material | Outdoor installations | Industry Standard: Plastic (non-certified) ▶ Our Base: ABS plastic (UL94 V-0 rated) ▲ Our Advanced: Reinforced polycarbonate | Withstands -20°C to 60°C (-4°F to 140°F) ▲ Advanced resists UV degradation | Plastic may dent under heavy impact compared to metal alternatives |
Power Consumption | Solar-powered setups | Industry Standard: 8W ▶ Our Base: 5W ▲ Our Advanced: 3W (Energy Star® compliant) | ▲ Advanced reduces energy costs by 60% compared to base | Advanced requires specialized low-power firmware, limiting compatibility |
Compatibility/Plug Type | Custom installations | Industry Standard: Proprietary ▶ Our Base: Proprietary (FCC Part 15) ▲ Our Advanced: Universal F-type connector | ▲ Advanced integrates with 90% of existing antennas without adapters | Base may require custom cables for legacy systems |
Noise Level | Residential rooftops | Industry Standard: 40 dBA ▶ Our Base: 35 dBA ▲ Our Advanced: 30 dBA (quieter than refrigerator hum at 25 dBA) | ▲ Advanced avoids disturbing neighbors in quiet areas | Advanced’s fanless design may reduce heat dissipation |
Mounting Options | Rooftop installations | Industry Standard: Basic bracket ▶ Our Base: Adjustable pole mount ▲ Our Advanced: Wind-resistant tilt bracket | ▲ Advanced withstands 120 km/h (75 mph) winds ▲ Includes all mounting hardware | Base requires separate purchase of tilt adapters for angled roofs |
