Using Splitters for Mobile Phones and Datacards (Both USB and desktop type)

If you are getting good results with a single connection to your phone and data card, and it is certainly worth getting to that stage first, you might want to add a splitter to enable you to use more than one phone or datacard.

	You will need: 1)FME male to N adaptor   AD-N3FME3 2) 2 x N male to FME extension leads Such as N30FME80-200-700 or any: TWO OF THESE (link) 3) Broadband Splitter :      SP-24-01(link) (covers 800 - 2500MHz) which includes all mobile NextG, 2G and 3G frequency bands.
	You can also try splitting 3 ways or even 4 ways with these splitters. SP-24-02(link) SP-24-03(link) You'll also need extra output cables.
	The above pics show an implementation using  FME connectors. You might want to use SMA instead or a mixture of both. In which case you might need this adaptor  AD-A3N3 and these kind of output cables. N30A30-200

Telstra/Bigpond and other 850/900 MHz services

Optus (inc Exetel Optus), 3, Virgin, Vodafone, and Services Using both the 900 and 2100MHz bands

2100MHz Only(Virgin,Optus)
