The outside cell antenna transmits and receives but is highly directional. You aim it directly at the nearest cell tower. Some I've seen also have reflectors/shielding on the back side.

You may be able to mount it on the same mast but with as much vertical separation as possible. Just keep in mind it needs as close as line of sight to the nearest tower as you can get.

Like Rabbit said, you may, (most likely will), need to do lots of trial and error locating the sweet spot for placement. Both horizontally and vertically. Sometimes just a few feet can make a big difference with roof reflections.
