Thanks for the clarification, RF communication with data modulation are affected in the same way as WiFi and any other wireless data transmission signal. The more the bandwidth consumes the less the signal strength becomes. The antenna design is definitely the way to go but increasing from 5 to 9 db may not be enough. May I consider if you are stationary to look at directional antennas and just locate it toward the network base.
If you are mobile then it will need to be omnidirectional though but look at a more increase of antenna spec to get good consistent signal.

Personally from all my suppliers so far I can only find a 24dbi parabolic dish antenna for WiFi but maybe some computer shops have something. I haven't thought about what frequency the 3G network is on, never really thought about it.
