PRODUCT OVERVIEW
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).

Is high gain an important consideration for Marine Antennas?

People often often look at gain when selecting a marine antenna. In this video we look at whether higher is better in an omni-directional antenna and more specifically when selecting a marine antenna.

Poynting offers a range of antennas that are designed specifically for marine and coastal applications, where performance, quality, styling, and weather protection is critical. This range of antennas are aimed at the luxury yacht market and can also be used in other applications with harsh environments such as harbour buildings, smaller boats, buoys, etc.

The marine antenna range are designed within Poynting’s customary requirements of high performance, wide bandwidth, and exceptional quality. The range covers LTE and 5G reception at sea, as well as antennas to provide dual-band Wi-Fi distribution at sea.

We did some LTE speed tests on the Vodacom LTE Network in March 2013. We tested from our offices in Samrand using the HUAWEI B593 router. The first test was done with only the internal antennas of the router, then we connected our XPOL-0001 which has 2 omni antennas in one enclosure. Fantastic results. Thereafter the XPOL-0002 which has 2 directional antennas in one enclosure. Both these give the full MiMo effect.
Please note it was on the Vodacom trial network that uses limited spectrum. Speeds will increase significantly with full bandwidth LTE deployment. Relative variations in speed increase will be similar.

We unbox the new 5G Cross Polarised MIMO antenna from Poynting

X-POLARISED, OMNI-DIRECTIONAL, LTE MIMO ANTENNA
698 - 3800 MHz, 3 dBi

Exceptional performance over the main 4G/5G bands
• High gain for the antenna size
• Wideband 2X2 or 4X4 MIMO 4G/5G antenna
• Backwards compatible 2G/3G/4G/LTE antenna (5G Ready)
• Weather, dust and vandal resistant enclosure (IP 65)

The XPOL-1-5G is Poynting’s second generation “V2” of this very popular Cross Polarised (XPOL), cellular band, 2x2 MIMO antenna. The
addition of a 4X4 MIMO derivative is also available for user specific needs. The antenna has been completely redesigned from the previous
generation with an all new enclosure and antenna design. The antenna now includes the newer 3400 - 3800 MHz bands as well as the in
demand lower 698 MHz band, which were not previously covered by our V1 and is suitable for 2G, 3G, 4G & 5G. This antenna performs
exceptionally well in the following frequency bands: 698 – 960 MHz, 1700 –2700 MHz & 3400 – 3800 MHz, with a peak gain of 3 dBi across the
frequency bands of operation.

The radiation patterns of this antenna are omni-directional and exceptionally well controlled, further adding to the performance of the
antenna. This makes the antenna perfect for most application areas, such as urban, rural, agricultural and commercial, to achieve the best
possible coverage over a large area. The robust mechanical enclosure design makes the antenna weather, dust and vandal resistant and
gives it an IP65 rating, suitable for harsh environments.

The MIMO-3 is the ideal antenna to improve your internet connectivity and speed. It gives you
- True world wide coverage including 5G and very low frequencies 410-3800 Mhz vs 698-2700 MHz
- Optimized radiation patterns for even better connection stability and reliability in urban and even very remote areas
- Higher throughput

The A-MIMO-0003-V2-12 is a 2-in-1 high performance multi frequency antenna within a single housing. 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. The ultra-wideband performance of the antenna allows it to be used across different operators and technologies and is ready for future cellular technologies up to 3.8 GHz for 5G applications. The antenna exceeds the performance of most competitors due to the attention to the design of this high-performance antenna. The radiation patterns of all radiating elements provide an excellent balance between omnidirectionality, pattern diversity and good radiation abilities at the desired elevation. This is an important criterion for the transportation and marine market, which the antenna was specifically designed for.

Main applications are for commercial/industrial vehicles, marine, M2M and other IoT systems using a wide range of radio technologies, while remaining futureproof over the wide frequency band.

A very big part of our summer time is spend in a caravan away from home. Although many people love getting completely away from it all, there are a lot of people who would love to remain connected to internet. This may be for internet use, phone and VoIP, email or streaming TV services.


In this video we start the conversation about using the Poynting MIMO-3 antenna to upgrade any caravan or motorhome / RV to get a reliable external antenna ready for 4G no matter where you are.
If you are an existing Huawei B818 or Netgear NightHawk user, this antenna can get those devices connected in a weak areas.
Simplify your Cel-Fi GO Caravan solution by using the MIMO-3 as your 4G Antenna solution instead of a high gain omni that needs setting up everytime you stop, or buy a complete Teltonika RUT kit with the 5G Ready antenna so that you have a solution that will work now and be ready for future technologies.


During the summer period we will demonstrate on numerous locations how the MIMO-3-12 antenna can provide you with the external antenna capabilities required for a reliable internet connection.
We also present our future plans to use the Poynting XPOL-2 in a old satellite dish to see if it's possible to further improve an already great antenna.

In this video we do a review of the Poynting MIMO-3 Antenna. Because this model has a lot of variants, we believe it's worth explaining the features and differences.
This antenna is perfect for the transport industry and also RV and motorhome market. If you have a Caravan or need a Marine 4G Antenna but don't have space or complexity to use a long antenna, consider the MIMO-3 antenna. It works great with Teltonika RUT240 and RUT950 modems.
By using an additional TS9 pigtail, this antenna will fit perfectly with the Netgear NightHawk and Huawei B818 modems, as well as the new 5G WiFi modems such as the ZTE MU500 from Telstra.

This might be a bold statement, but we do consider the new OMNI-293 and OMNI-493, the best omni-directional LTE/5G antennas out there. These antennas were designed for marine and terrestrial use to provide improved reception on the most popular LTE/5G cellular bands. Even though they cover a very wide band from 617 MHz to 3800 MHz (incl. the LTE Band 71 as well as the 3.5 GHz CBRS band), they were designed for superior pattern control across the entire frequency range, making them the most omni-directional omni’s around!

The exceptional omni-directional performance was achieved by the unique antenna design. Conventional antenna designs, such as an array of dipoles and other similar designs, do not provide the necessary characteristics for a wide impendence and gain bandwidth antenna, while demanding near ideal radiation patterns over the whole bandwidth. Poynting has achieved this performance by using an innovative technology whereby the impedance, gain and radiation patterns are harmonised over the entire frequency range, providing superior performance at all its frequency bands.

Although both antennas are electrically the same, the OMNI-493 is specifically designed for marine applications and the OMNI-293 is targeted at inland environments:

• The OMNI-293 is designed according to IP65 requirements to prevent water and dust ingress while installed outdoors. This antenna is UV and weather protected and aimed at commercial, industrial, residential, and urban implementation.

• The OMNI-493 is the marine version of the same antenna, boasting an IP68 protection rating against water, making this antenna ideal for the most severe storms at sea. This marine antenna is also fully salt water protected so that it can be used in highly corrosive environments, including chemical and toxic environments thanks to the UV stable ASA radome material. This antenna is marketed to support 617 to 2700 MHz for marine applications, but also supports the 3400 to 3800 MHz CBRS frequency band when used inland.

In this video we unbox the new smaller marine antennas - OMNI-403 and OMNI-404 from Poynting Antennas.

Poynting’s new OMNI-403 and OMNI-404 antennas are based on the very popular OMNI-291 marine antenna. The new antennas have a smaller profile radome which is specifically designed for adverse marine & coastal
environments. The two new omni-directional antennas do not replace the OMNI-291 but expand the range to offer more options to our customers, especially where implementation space is limited.

The antennas are designed for superior pattern control across the entire frequency range, making the OMNI-403 and OMNI-404 exceptional omni-directional antennas for their size and application. The antennas cover
the contemporary LTE/5G Ready bands from 698MHz to 2700MHz as well as the LTE/CBRS band from 3200 MHz to 3800 MHz.

This video shows the 3D Pattern of the Poynting High performance linear marine & coastal antenna (OMNI-291) over the complete band.
The OMNI-291 is a unique new design with improved electrical performance and using a standard 1 inch marine mount. The ultra-wide band covers all contemporary LTE operating frequencies with excellent balanced gain across all frequencies. Higher frequencies are not compromised and the antenna design allows Poynting to have superior pattern control over the entire frequency range making the OMNI-291 a true high performance omni-directional antenna. Usable in all parts of the world, the OMNI-291 guarantees signal reception almost everywhere. Poynting Antennas achieves this through new antenna configuration using multiple dipoles and a unique (patented) feed network. The antenna is future proof as it covers the 450 MHz LTE frequency getting more an more popular in various regions and countries!

Underground communication systems perform a vital role in the safety & productivity in mining and tunneling operations, where modern underground operations use communication systems to enable secure voice communications, to locate both people and machines, remote control of vehicles and systems, mining operations automation, as well as site access and security. A crucial component of the underground communication system is the antenna; a specialized antenna can improve the wireless connectivity in such an environment.

Poynting have a long history of designing and supplying specialist antennas specifically for mining and tunnel communication systems in mines. Poynting manufacture a complete WiFi and LTE range of antennas which are used in mines internationally. Of particular interest, is the circular polarised helical antenna range, called MinePoynt antennas. These antennas have gained significant popularity with our customers and have proven to substantially enhance RF propagation in these intense underground conditions, thereby complimenting the abilities of the connected LTE/WiFi/Mesh nodes and access point equipment.

Numerous customer tests in mines have been performed over the past 10 years showing MinePoynt antennas to achieve ranges 3x to 4x those obtained with a similar gain linear polarised antenna. Some initial tests in a South African coal mine demonstrated a person 1.2 km away from the access point fitted with a HELI-3 MinePoynt making perfect VoIP calls using a handheld WiFi phone. Customers reported numerous other tests done in SA gold mines and various Australian mines with similar performance.

We did some LTE speed tests on the Vodacom LTE Network in March 2013. We tested from our offices in Samrand using the HUAWEI E3276 modem. The first test was done with only the internal antennas of the router, then we connected one high gain Log P and thereafter another high gain Log P mounted horizontally. This gives the full MiMo effect.
Please note it was on the Vodacom trial network that uses limited spectrum. Speeds will increase significantly with full bandwidth LTE deployment. Relative variations in speed increase will be similar.

Multiple Dual Band antennas can resolve channel saturation and provide the ultimate in Wi-Fi performance and flexibility. This 4x4 MiMo antenna has 4 different antenna orientations in one enclosure. This means the antenna can be used in a 2x2, 3x3 and if necessary a 4x4 antenna configuration. The 120° beam width ensures good coverage in offices, halls and factories etc. The antenna operates in two frequency bands 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz, offering excellent utilization of the radio spectrum. This Antenna has 9dBi gain at 2.4GHz band and 11dBi gain at the 5GHz band, which offers the best performance with reliable connections. The housing is made of ABS which is high impact resistant plastic and is also resistant to acids and other chemicals that may occur in industrial plants. The antenna can be opened on the side where the 4 x SMA female connectors are placed. The cable can be fed through the bypass gland, which eliminates the joint to the antenna extension cables. This eliminates connector losses and the need for taping and waterproofing the connectors for an outdoor installation. This antenna is designed for installations where 4x4 (four independent streams), multiplexing time-space technologies is needed. It can be used indoors or outdoors and is ideal for use in warehouses, production facilities, building sites or any other environment that requires Wi-Fi connectivity, such as computers, mobile phones, tablets, and any other IOT devices.

Application areas

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.

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.

In this video we do a review of the Poynting MIMO-3 Antenna. Because this model has a lot of variants, we believe it's worth explaining the features and differences.
This antenna is perfect for the transport industry and also RV and motorhome market. If you have a Caravan or need a Marine 4G Antenna but don't have space or complexity to use a long antenna, consider the MIMO-3 antenna. It works great with Teltonika RUT240 and RUT950 modems.
By using an additional TS9 pigtail, this antenna will fit perfectly with the Netgear NightHawk and Huawei B818 modems, as well as the new 5G WiFi modems such as the ZTE MU500 from Telstra.
