Compact LTE MIMO Antenna
Features
1. Stable Antenna Performance
Although two antennas are integrated into a single enclosure, our antenna design technology minimizes mutual coupling and maintains high isolation, enabling more stable MIMO performance compared to typical compact MIMO antennas.
2. Pre-Certified with Multiple Communication Modules
Pre-certified for additional antenna approval with major communication modules currently distributed in the Japanese market.
Ready for immediate integration into 4G/LTE-based IoT and M2M devices.
For the latest certification status, please contact the respective module manufacturer or authorized distributor.
3. Ingress Protection (Water and Dust Resistant)
Designed for a wide range of indoor and outdoor installations, the antenna provides IP56 equivalent protection (excluding the connector).
The enclosure is made of weather-resistant Polycarbonate (PC) and supports an operating temperature range of –30 °C to +90 °C, with UL 94 V-0 flame retardant rating.
It is recommended to match the plating type of the antenna-side SMA plug to that of the device-side SMA bulkhead jack to ensure optimal contact reliability.
4. Supports Multiple Mounting Methods
The integrated low-loss cable enables flexible routing to locations with optimal RF performance.
The housing includes mounting holes for screw fixation and supports installation using the included adhesive tape.
A built-in magnet on the rear of the enclosure allows direct attachment to metal surfaces.
Applications
This antenna delivers stable radiation performance and maintains minimal degradation when installed on metal surfaces, resulting in broad adoption across diverse industrial applications.
Vending machines, elevators, remote monitoring systems, parcel lockers, LTE routers and gateways, payment terminals and ATMs, solar power systems, EV charging stations, digital signage, asset tracking devices, HD video transmission systems, industrial equipment, and construction machinery.
