DK168 will know - has a set up fit for “working from home” when on a site. If you scroll through this Equipment forum, there’s a thread they’ve started on 5G/4G (page 2 on my iPhone screen). There are other threads too.
Thanks for the tag.
I stayed at a CAMC site in the middle of Thetford Forest, and discovered there was no signal for Three (3), and my data SIM is Three, so my super duper mega expensive 5G external antenna was useless. 
EE (my mobile phone) coverage was weak, I struggled to access e-mails on my laptop and phone when I used my phone as a mobile hot spot.
I paid for site Wi-Fi for a week as back up, and that too was touch and go.
In the end, I kind of gave up trying to access work servers using my laptop, and used my phone to access e-mails as it does not download all the e-mails like my laptop.
Video conferencing via Zoom and MS Team was hopeless.
I am kind of annoyed that I did not check for signal coverage beforehand as I did not believe I needed to anymore, WRONG!
Going forward, I shall check mobile signal coverage when I research for suitable sites in future, as mobile signal black holes still exist!!!
In addition, I may need to investigate getting a PAYG data SIM with Vodafone and O2 as back up. Seems a bit OTT, however, I need good internet connection when I am out and about for work purposes.
