Getting a Poynting Antenna today, so need to find out the direction the Tower faces in order to get the best signal. Called Rain and they refused to give me any information.

What can I do?
 
I got an XPOL-6 antenna from Poynting. You will still need to fine tune the antenna by looking at the RSRP, RSRQ and SINR stats on the Rain device while you move the antenna around. I managed to get my signal strength from 1 to 2 bars up to 4 bars. This gives me about 20 - 25 Mbps download and 5 - 8 Mbps upload.

Rain told me to point the antenna South but I get a better signal East.

How do I learn what good RSRP, RSRQ and SINR stats are :)
