Product Details
The performance of traditional cellular router setups is often limited by building materials and surrounding terrain weakening incoming signals. The SOCA Bring Your Own Router 2x2 MIMO Panel Kit is purpose-built to change that, so you can get the most out of your current router for work or play.
It includes the Poynting 2x2 MIMO XPOL Panel antenna that mounts outside to maximize 5G/4G LTE signal capture. Directional and cross-polarized, the panel antenna strengthens communication with your provider's cell tower and increases throughput. This ensures your router receives the best signal possible to deliver a faster, more reliable internet connection, even in rural areas.
Featuring the innovative Smart SOCA by Cellular Path, setting up the Yagi antenna is easy. Forget finding your carrier’s cell tower and manually aiming. It auto-performs a multi-point 360° signal scan and precisely aligns the panel antenna. Setup and adjustments are managed through the Cellular Path app.
Smart SOCA requires an internet connection to communicate with Cellular Paths’s servers, enabling the transmission of collected RF data to the portal and reception of remote commands. It supports a WiFi or cellular connection with a SIM card. A Verizon SIM card with 1 year of complimentary service is included for the SOCA (optional use).
Whether for homes, cabins, offices, or stationary RVs, the SOCA Bring Your Own Router Kit is the ultimate solution for optimal Fixed Wireless Access. It can be seamlessly integrated with any cellular router with external antenna ports — including models from Cisco, Digi, TP-Link, Peplink, Teltonika, and Cradlepoint.
- Outdoor Antenna: Receives strongest 5G/4G LTE signals from desired carrier's cell tower.
- Smart SOCA: Scans signal and precisely self-aligns mounted directional antenna for maximum signal capture.
- SIM-Enabled Controller: Enables smart communication between the SOCA and the mobile app through a WiFi or cellular connection.
- Cellular Router: Converts cell signal into fast, reliable internet for connected devices.
- Cellular Path App: Guides setup, displays signal data, and allows effortless antenna recalibration.

Frequently Asked Questions
It includes all the necessary components needed to maximize your cellular router's performance using innovative, self-optimizing technology. The 2x2 MIMO Panel antenna improves signal capture and increases throughput. Walls, roofs, and surrounding terrain will no longer limit the signal reaching your router.
Paired with the Smart SOCA, you don't have to find the best tower or manually align the antenna. Controlled through an app, it scans your signal and self-aims the antenna with precision. This eliminates guesswork, saves you time, and helps you get faster, more stable internet, especially in rural or low-signal areas.
If your cellular router has external antenna ports, it is compatible with the SOCA Bring Your Own Router MIMO Panel Kt. The kit works with most cellular routers from brands like Cisco, Digi, Netgear, TP-Link, Peplink, Teltonika, and Cradlepoint.
The main difference is the type of outdoor antenna included in each kit:
- The Yagi is a SISO antenna with high gain up to 11 dBi and a narrow radiation beam to reach cell towers up to 5 miles (depends on signal conditions). It is ideal for locations where maximizing range is top priority.
- The Panel is a 2x2 MIMO antenna. It has a wider radiation beam than the Yagi and up to 11 dBi gain. Directional and cross-polarized, it will improve communication with cell towers and increase throughput for faster speeds and greater connection stability.
Both are great performers for rural or low-signal areas where users rely on cellular routers for their connectivity needs.
On average, the Smart SOCA completes a full scan and alignment in about 4 minutes.
During setup, the Smart SOCA scans for your selected carrier’s signal as well as all other available carriers in your area. It collects comprehensive cellular signal data and analyzes signal strength and quality to determine the best antenna position.
The Smart SOCA requires an internet connection to connect to Cellular Path’s servers. This allows it to transmit collected RF signal data and receive remote antenna alignment commands.
It can connect through a local WiFi network or use the cellular network with an active SIM card. An optional SIM card with 1 year of service is included in the bundle.
If signal conditions change or you change carriers, you can easily reposition the antenna using the Cellular Path app. You won't need to worry about time-consuming manual adjustments.
No. The Cellular Path app is designed to control the Smart SOCA system only, including alignment, rescans, and remote adjustments.
