Nice setup
I too use an outside PVC pole for my UHF BATWING antenna on my OFF-ROAD POPUP trailer for high def HDTV from the local towns... Mounts in less than five minutes...

I also use an external antenna with my WILSON SLEEK cradle where my MIFI units is docked... My small MIFI unit does not have an external antenna connection but sitting in the WILSON SLEEK its internal antenna gets a big passive 2G/3G signal from the WILSON SLEEK preamp...
Haven't really needed the higher pole like you have as I am only getting my signals from a secure VERIZON CELL-PHONE tower connection...
I gave up using unsecured WIFI signals scattered all over the place along time ago and signed up with the VERIZON MIFI 3G data plan which is all the data I need each month to check my emails, pay a few bills, keep tabs on the kids, and do just a little surfing the internet...
My OFF-ROAD POPUP is also setup for a dual fold up 5-foot 3-inch triangle antenna sections for my Ham Radio operations. I run a PVC pipe up the middle of this setup which puts my OFF-CENTER HF Antenna up around 15-feet at the center. Then I throw the outside ends up into the trees - Works great with ICOM IC-706MKII all band HF radio... I also have a screwdriver antenna setup on the trailer as well...
Been setup this way since around 2009 and works out pretty good back off the beaten path...
