Features

1. Strong RF Performance

The antenna delivers strong free-space performance and is engineered to minimize performance degradation when mounted on metal surfaces.

2. Pre-Certified with Multiple Communication Modules

Pre-certified with leading communication modules currently available in the market.
Ready for immediate integration into 4G/LTE and 902–928 MHz ISM band (FCC Part 15) IoT/M2M devices.
For current certification status, contact the respective module manufacturer or authorized distributor.

3. Ingress Protection (Water and Dust Resistant)

Designed for both indoor and outdoor installations, this antenna is rated IP56 (excluding the connector).
The enclosure is made of weather-resistant polycarbonate (PC) with an operating temperature range of –30 °C to +90 °C and meets UL 94 V-0 flammability standards.
For optimal durability and electrical performance, match the plating type of the SMA plug on the antenna with the SMA bulkhead jack on your device.

4. Multiple Mounting Options

The integrated low-loss cable allows flexible routing to an optimal signal location within your enclosure or installation site.
The housing includes mounting holes for screw fixation and supports adhesive tape mounting (tape included).
A built-in magnet on the rear panel enables direct attachment to metal surfaces.

Applications

Stable radiation performance and minimal degradation when mounted on metal surfaces make this antenna suitable for a wide range of industrial and infrastructure applications.
 
Vending Machines, Elevators, Remote Monitoring Systems, Smart Parcel Lockers, LTE Routers & Gateways, Payment Terminals & ATMs, Solar Power Systems, EV Charging Stations, Digital Signage, Asset Tracking Devices, HD Video Transmission Systems, Industrial Equipment, and Construction Equipment.
