In today’s rapidly evolving wireless landscape, ensuring reliable, high-speed, and pervasive connectivity is paramount. Whether you’re deploying a mission-critical public safety network, enhancing a commercial cellular infrastructure, or setting up a rugged industrial IoT system, the demands on your antenna system are immense. Our High-Gain Omni-Directional Fiberglass Antenna is engineered to meet and exceed these demands, offering an unparalleled blend of broad-spectrum coverage, robust construction, and exceptional performance across key cellular and data communication bands.
This cutting-edge antenna provides truly wide-band coverage, operating seamlessly across two vital frequency ranges: 698-960 MHz (Low-Band) and 1710-2700 MHz (High-Band). This multi-band capability is crucial for supporting a vast array of modern wireless standards, including 2G, 3G, 4G LTE, and the growing deployment of 5G mid-band frequencies. Its omni-directional pattern ensures comprehensive 360-degree horizontal coverage, eliminating the need for precise alignment and simplifying installation, making it the ideal solution for central base stations and challenging, non-line-of-sight (NLOS) environments.
Key Performance Features and Specifications
Engineered for carrier-grade applications and demanding professional use, our fiberglass omni antenna delivers performance characteristics that set it apart.
Broadband Dual-Band Operation
The antenna’s primary strength lies in its expansive frequency compatibility. It covers essential low-band spectrum (698-960 MHz), which is critical for long-range communication and deep in-building penetration, especially for 700 MHz LTE, 800 MHz (CDMA/GSM), and 900 MHz (GSM/UMTS) bands. Simultaneously, it effectively operates across the high-band spectrum (1710-2700 MHz), encompassing key frequencies for high-capacity data transfer, including 1700/2100 MHz (AWS), 1800/1900 MHz (PCS), 2100 MHz (UMTS/LTE), 2.4 GHz WLAN, and 2600 MHz (LTE). This dual-band capability means one antenna can replace multiple single-band units, drastically reducing complexity and installation costs.
Exceptional High Gain
The term "High Gain" signifies the antenna's ability to efficiently focus and concentrate RF energy, resulting in a significantly improved signal strength and range compared to standard antennas. While specific gain values may vary by model (e.g., 4 dBi on the low band and 6-8 dBi on the high band), this high-efficiency performance directly translates to:
Extended Coverage: Reaching remote users and devices further from the base station.
Improved Signal Quality: Higher signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) for faster, more reliable data rates.
Enhanced Uplink: Crucial for IoT sensors and remote devices with low transmission power.
Rugged, Industrial-Grade Fiberglass Construction
Durability is non-negotiable for outdoor infrastructure. The antenna features a premium fiberglass radome, which provides superior protection against the elements. This robust material ensures:
All-Weather Resilience: Waterproof and UV-stabilized, it withstands extreme temperature fluctuations, heavy rain, snow, and relentless solar exposure without degradation to mechanical properties or aesthetics.
Corrosion Resistance: Ideal for deployment in harsh environments, including coastal areas, industrial complexes, and urban settings where pollutant exposure is high.
Structural Integrity: The rigid fiberglass construction provides excellent resistance to wind loading, ensuring stability and consistent performance even in high-wind conditions (rated wind velocity typically around 37 m/s or higher).
Optimized for Low PIM
For high-capacity, carrier-class deployments, Low Passive Intermodulation (PIM) performance is essential. High PIM can generate unwanted noise and interference, severely degrading network quality and data throughput. Our antenna is designed to minimize PIM (often rated as low as -150 dBc), ensuring the cleanest possible signal transmission and reception, which is vital for maintaining network capacity and quality of service (QoS) in densely populated areas.
Versatile Usage Scenarios (Use Cases)
The wide-band frequency coverage, high gain, and omni-directional pattern make this antenna exceptionally versatile for a multitude of commercial, industrial, and public safety applications.
Cellular Base Station Infrastructure (2G/3G/4G LTE/5G)
This is the primary application. As a high-performance base station antenna, it provides 360-degree coverage for cellular carriers seeking to deploy or densify their networks. It is perfect for:
Rural and Suburban Coverage: The high gain and low-band coverage (698-960 MHz) help extend the reach of mobile signals over wide, open terrains, maximizing the cell radius.
Small Cell and Repeater Networks: Serving as a donor or service antenna for outdoor small cells, signal repeaters, and cellular boosters, ensuring a strong link to the mobile network.
IoT and M2M Gateways: Providing connectivity for wide-area Internet of Things (IoT) applications using standards like LoRa, LTE-M, and NB-IoT, which often rely on the lower frequency bands for penetration and range.
Public Safety and Mission-Critical Communication
Reliable communication is paramount for emergency services. This antenna’s multi-band capability is perfectly suited for modern public safety networks, including the FirstNet (Band 14) deployment in the US, as well as various global public safety bands operating across the 700 MHz and 800 MHz spectrum. Its rugged fiberglass construction guarantees continuous operation under emergency conditions.
Industrial and Transportation Networks
In industrial environments, robust and consistent connectivity is a must for automation, surveillance, and data logging.
Oil & Gas and Mining Sites: Providing wireless coverage across large, remote, and often challenging landscapes.
Marine and Ports: Its corrosion-resistant fiberglass radome makes it ideal for use on vessels or port infrastructure where salt spray is a concern.
Railway and Transit Systems: Deploying connectivity along transport corridors for vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communication, passenger Wi-Fi, and operational data.
Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS) and In-Building Solutions (IBS)
While often used outdoors, this antenna can also serve as a crucial component in feeding outdoor signal into an indoor DAS deployment. It efficiently captures signals from multiple nearby cell towers in all directions, providing the necessary input for a repeater or booster system to distribute enhanced cellular service within large commercial buildings, campuses, or residential complexes.
Seamless Integration and Installation
Designed for deployment by professionals, the antenna includes heavy-duty mounting hardware (such as L-brackets and U-bolts) for secure attachment to various mast diameters. The integral connector (commonly an N-Female type) is strategically positioned for easy connection to low-loss coaxial cable runs. Its omni-directional pattern eliminates complex azimuth and elevation adjustments, streamlining the installation process and reducing time and labor costs on-site. When choosing your antenna, you're not just selecting a piece of hardware; you're investing in a durable, high-performance foundation for your most critical wide-area wireless network needs.
