In this video we explain that, with LTE, it is not essential to have line-of-sight. It is always best if you do have LOS (line of sight) to the tower, but it is hardly ever possible. Have a look at this video to see how LTE overcomes this problem.

Connected beyond limits - WaveHunter Product Video

POYNTING Antennas introduces its all-new antenna enclosure range, the WaveHunter™ series. The WaveHunter™ enclosure is designed to fit a variety of router and networking modules, transforming the antenna enclosure into a CPE (Customer Premises Equipment) – just add your own LTE/5G routers and networking equipment.

The WaveHunter™ enclosure can accommodate two routers up to the size of 250 x 150 x 50 mm³ mounted directly to the base. Additional equipment can be added within a stacked customised user supplied frame. The WaveHunter™ antenna enclosure uses our world renowned Artificial Magnetic Conductor (AMC) technology from our XPOL-2-5G antenna.

The antenna array consists of 12 cross-polarised, high gain, 2×2 MIMO directional antennas arranged in two stacked arrays offset at 60° increments. This provides 360° wideband coverage from 617 to 960 MHz and 1710 to 4200 MHz, with a peak gain of 11 dBi, making it ideal for Multi-router LTE & 5G bonded and aggregated deployments.

The enclosure was also designed to withstand adverse weather condition, making the antenna weatherproof and waterproof with an IP65 rating.

Underground communication systems perform a vital role in the safety & productivity of mining and tunnelling operations. Modern underground operations use communication systems to enable secure voice communications, locate both people and machinery, remote control of vehicles and systems, as well as site access and security.
A crucial component of the underground communication system is the antenna; a specialized antenna can enhance wireless connectivity significantly.

POYNTING Antennas has a long history of designing and supplying specialist antennas for mining and tunnel communication systems in various mines and tunnels. We manufacture a complete Wi-Fi and LTE range of antennas that are used in mines internationally. Especially our circular polarised helical
antenna range

In this video the MIMO-3 antennas gets tested. We sprayed it with a high-pressure cleaner to show that it is IP69 Rated. In this video we smash it with different hammers until it is broken, then pressure clean and test it again.

The MIMO-3-15 is a 5-in-1 high performance multi frequency antenna within a single housing, providing two cellular, two Wi-Fi and a GPS/GLONASS antenna. The two cellular MIMO antennas (for 2G/3G/4G) covers the contemporary 698 MHz to 2700 MHz bands, as well as the new emerging LTE and 5G spectrum for 450MHz and 3.5GHz CBRS bands, which is becoming popular across the various international cellular network operators for LTE.

This is a quick overview of the 5-IN-1 Futureproof multi-frequency antenna. It covers the following bands:

450MHz-470MHz,
698MHz-960MHz,
1710MHz–2700MHz

with a MAX GAIN of 6.0 DBi

- Backwards compatible with 3G and 2G technologies
- 2 x MIMO LTE
- 2 x MIMO WIFI
- GPS & GLONASS
- Robust antenna
- Vandal and water resistant
- Increased connectivity stability

This antenna, due to its wideband capabilities, is able to handle future cellular technologies such as 5G and offers a versatile antenna which can be used across different operators and technologies. The antenna provides two separate dual-band Wi-Fi antennas, providing concurrent 2.4GHz and 5GHz on each antenna with 2×2 MIMO capability. The fifth antenna is a high-performance active GPS/GLONASS system operating down to -40 degrees.

Note: This antenna is manufactured on volume orders. Please inquire with a sales representative regarding your required volumes and resulting lead times.

Tjeerd Huitema, MD POYNTING Europe GmbH, did LTE speedtests, using POYNTING outdoor antennas during the COVID-19 lockdown. He did these tests using a Cradlepoint router and the OMNI-292 Cellular Antennas from POYNTING.

Customers often ask if using 2 antennas for LTE or 4G really makes a difference? In this test he compares using 1 x OMNI-292 vs 2 x OMNI-292s over a very congested 4G/LTE network in Poland.

These tests were done from his home close to to Czarny Las
about 40 kms from Warsaw. Tests were done using the Orange network in Poland.

Please note that these tests were done in April 2020, during the COVID-19
lockdown when networks were very slow due to congestion.

The Omni-directional, wideband LTE/5G antenna covers the 698 – 3800 MHz with a gain of 2dBi.

The new OMNI-297 antenna forms part of our new “Rhyno” antenna range. The OMNI-297 is wideband cellular antenna that operates from 698 to 3800 MHz, covering all the contemporary 5G and LTE frequency bands. The antenna is designed for superior pattern control over the entire frequency range, making the OMNI-297 an exceptional omni-directional antenna for its size. The constant gain across the entire frequency range improves the LTE performance features, such as multi carrier aggregation (CA). The ideal operation for the antenna will be for fixed installations of any cellular bands. It is also ideal for machine to machine (M2M) and internet of things (IoT) applications that communicate through the GSM networks (GPRS/EDGE/3G/HSPA/LTE).

In this video we take the #POYNTING PUCK antenna through it's paces. We spray it with a high-pressure cleaner to show that it is IP69 Rated. In a next video we smash it with different hammers until it is broken, then pressure clean and test it again.

POYNTING’s new PUCK antenna offers a small profile antenna for use in the IoT/M2M, Smart Meter, Smart Utilities, Transportation, Marine and the Agricultural/Farming markets. The PUCK-5 consists of a 5-in-1 antenna system within a single housing, featuring 2X2 MIMO LTE, 2X2 MIMO Wi-Fi (Dual-band 2.4 GHz & 5 GHz) and GPS/GLONASS.

- 5-in-1 LTE high performance multi frequency
- 2G/3G/4G/LTE/5G antenna
- LTE (2X2 MIMO), Dual-band Wi-Fi (2X2 MIMO), GPS/GLONASS
- Wideband – covers wide frequency band, incl. 3.5 GHz CBRS band
- Ground plane independent
- Robust, vandal resistant and waterproof (IP 68)
- Ideal for transportation, marine and IoT/M2M use
- Ultra-versatile mounting options for easy installation

Our Rhyno Antenna series are versatile antennas that can be used for a wide variety of applications, such as industrial & commercial, automotive & mobility, IoT & M2M, etc. – anywhere where a highly durable and highly rugged antenna is required, while providing exceptional performance and enhanced availability.

The OMNI-700 series antennas were specifically designed to be rugged and ideal for operation in harsh environmental conditions.

The series offers a variety of configurations for covering the popular Wi-Fi frequency bands namely, the 2.4 GHz and 5 to 6 GHz bands. The antenna series was designed for superior pattern control across the Wi-Fi frequency bands, adding to the exceptional omni-directional performance of the antenna series.

The OMNI-700 series are foam filled and features an IP69K protection rating, which is the highest Ingress Protection (IP) rating a product can achieve. This indicates that the antennas are dust proof and protected against high pressure, high temperature spray downs at close range.

The antennas can be mounted on a wall, pole or side of a cabinet using the included 304 Stainless steel mounting bracket. It can also be surface mounted using the supplied adhesive disk. This makes the antenna ideal to use in the following applications:

Machine to Machine (M2M) and Internet of Things (IoT)
Poor data signal reception (indoor or outdoor)
High-end industrial grade router applications
Improves reception for mobile IoT equipment.
