Nighthawk LTE hotspot + external antennas

cclendenenas of today November 16, 2017, Netgear has not disclosed the supported external antenna specs for the Nighthawk LTE hotspot. MIMO (often described as dual-polarized, cross-polarized, or slant-polarized) vs standalone non-MIMO antennas, ohms, watts, etc. There is no way to recommend an antenna for the Nighthawk LTE hotspot without this information. Further Netgear has not disclosed what happens to Nighthawk LTE hotspot performance when using external antennas. For example, the Nighthawk LTE hotspot may be limited to 250 megabit throughput (not the advertised 1000 megabit throughput) when using external antennas. We are waiting for Netgear to disclose all of the above information.
Any idea when Netgear will release the information needed to know what antennas to buy for the NR1100 Nighthawk?
