Our company Cellular Path design and engineer self-optimizing cellular antenna rotators. Using either SISO or MIMO directional cellular antennas, our rotators complete a 360 degree scan and automatically point antennas with 100% accuracy towards the strongest cellular signal. Once implemented the antennas can then be optimized remotely via our free ios App. Use our app to create multiple locations, add multiple users and as many devices in the field as you operate. You can simultaneously scan for multiple carrier signal strength at each location, save the data and return at any stage to re-optimize your antenna to ensure the strongest cellular signal being provided to your cellular router or signal booster.

Cell Towers's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
