Future-proof your fixed wireless access (FWA) and IoT deployments with our rugged Outdoor Multi-Network Combined Antenna. This highly integrated solution delivers comprehensive connectivity across critical wireless spectrums, encompassing wide-band 4G LTE, precision GPS/GNSS, and dual-band Wi-Fi. Engineered to operate efficiently across the foundational low-band (686-960MHz) and high-band (1710-2700MHz) cellular frequencies, this single, durable antenna unit simplifies complex installations on rooftops, utility poles, and external enclosures, maximizing network performance while minimizing clutter.
Unified Cellular Coverage: 4G LTE Wideband Antenna
The antenna's core strength lies in its ability to support essential 4G LTE connectivity across a vast frequency range, ensuring reliable performance regardless of the global carrier or region.
Ultra-Wide Frequency Range: The cellular elements of this antenna are expertly designed to cover two indispensable frequency blocks:
Low-Band (686-960MHz): Crucial for extensive range, building penetration, and foundational 4G LTE coverage, supporting key global bands such as Band 14 (Public Safety), Band 13 (Verizon), Band 28, and Band 71. This ensures deep indoor penetration from an outdoor antenna mount.
High-Band (1710-2700MHz): Essential for high-capacity and high-speed data throughput, covering common global bands including Band 4, Band 7, Band 40 (TDD), and the vast majority of 3G/4G/LTE services worldwide.
MIMO Compatibility (Optional/Internal Design): Depending on the model variant, the housing may contain two isolated cellular antenna elements (2x2 MIMO) to enable spatial diversity. This configuration is vital for maximizing data throughput and link stability, supporting the advanced capabilities of modern 4G LTE and emerging 5G Sub-6 GHz modems.
High Efficiency and Reliable Gain: The antenna is engineered for high radiation efficiency across the entire wideband spectrum. This ensures that the limited power of the remote modem is effectively transmitted, maintaining a strong link budget and providing necessary signal margin for reliable data transfer in challenging environments.
Integrated GPS and Wi-Fi Functionality
Completing the multi-network capability, the antenna includes dedicated elements for precise positioning and local area networking.
High-Accuracy GPS/GNSS Antenna: A dedicated, high-sensitivity element is included for receiving signals from Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, Beidou). This feature is critical for applications requiring precise location, velocity, and timing (PVT) data, such as fleet management, asset tracking, and public safety vehicles. The element often incorporates a Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) to boost faint satellite signals, ensuring fast Time-To-First-Fix (TTFF).
Dual-Band Wi-Fi Support (2.4 GHz / 5.8 GHz): The antenna integrates an element optimized for both the 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz Wi-Fi bands (802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/ax). This enables the device to function simultaneously as a high-speed local access point or to connect to local networks for backhaul or diagnostics.
Industrial-Grade Durability and Simplified Installation
Designed for permanent, exposed outdoor mounting, the physical construction of the antenna prioritizes longevity and ease of deployment.
Rugged, Weatherproof Housing: The integrated elements are housed in a single, robust, low-profile radome made from UV-stabilized, impact-resistant material (e.g., ABS or polycarbonate). The antenna is sealed to meet or exceed IP65/IP67 ingress protection standards, providing complete defense against dust, driving rain, snow, and extreme temperatures.
Simplified Single-Mount Installation: The consolidated design allows all four or more separate network feeds to be installed via a single mounting point (e.g., a central bolt), drastically reducing the number of holes required in the mounting surface (rooftop or enclosure) and minimizing potential water ingress points.
Organized, Low-Loss Connections: The multiple radio feeds (Cellular, GPS, Wi-Fi) exit the antenna base via clearly labeled, low-loss coaxial cables (e.g., RG58, RG174, or LMR series equivalent). These cables are typically terminated with standard, weather-resistant connectors (such as SMA or N-Type) to ensure secure, reliable mating with multi-port communication gateways.
Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) Ready: This antenna is the ideal front-end solution for FWA deployments, providing external, high-performance connectivity that is superior to indoor antennas, translating directly into higher subscriber speeds and greater service reliability.
The Outdoor Multi-Network Combined Antenna offers the ultimate solution for converging essential wireless services into a single, highly reliable external unit, providing exceptional performance and simplifying the infrastructure for modern, location-aware communication systems.
