Performance without Compromise: Your Router at the Heart of the Antenna
Do you know the problem? A powerful Antenna, but a long cable to the router that costs valuable signal. The Poynting EPNT-7 solves this problem in the cleverest way: it integrates a compact router directly into its extremely robust Enclosure. The internal coaxial cables are only 0.22 meters long. The result: signal loss (attenuation) is drastically minimized, leading to a stronger, more stable signal and maximum data throughput. Your Network connection is strongest exactly where it's needed – directly at the Antenna.
Built for Extremes: IP69K & IK08 for Industry and Vehicles
The EPNT-7 was developed for environments where other technology would long give up. The IP69K protection guarantees that neither dust nor cleaning with high-pressure or steam jets can harm the unit. Additionally, the IK08 impact resistance rating protects against impacts of up to 5 joules. Whether on construction vehicles, in agriculture, in ports, or in mining – this Antenna stands up. The die-cast aluminum base not only provides stability but also efficiently dissipates the heat from the router.
Future-proof Connectivity with 4x4 MIMO Wi-Fi 6
With its omnidirectional 4x4 MIMO configuration, the EPNT-7 is perfectly equipped for modern Network requirements. It supports the latest Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) standards and covers both the 2.4 GHz and 5-6 GHz frequency bands. This ensures high speeds, low latencies, and excellent efficiency in complex radio environments. This makes it an ideal choice among WiFi Antennas for demanding mobile applications or building robust Mesh Networks in industrial areas.
Thoughtful Down to the Last Detail for Professional Use
Poynting has thought of everything with the EPNT-7. A transparent window in the Enclosure lid allows you to read the status LEDs of your router at any time without having to open the Enclosure. Special, vibration-resistant cable strain reliefs ensure that connections remain secure even under strong vibrations. These thoughtful details make the EPNT-7 the ultimate system solution for anyone who needs reliable connectivity under the harshest conditions and relies on professional Industrial Antennas.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can the Poynting EPNT-7 be used as a standalone WiFi Access Point?
No. The EPNT-7 is a passive antenna with an enclosure. It requires a separate, compatible WiFi Router to be installed inside to send and receive a functional WiFi signal, effectively acting as a robust WiFi Access Point.
For which vehicles and machines is the EPNT-7 Antenna primarily designed?
It is specifically designed for use as a Vehicle Antenna on light commercial vehicles (LDVs) and Service trucks in demanding environments such as mining, agriculture, ports, and industrial warehouses. It is ideal for vehicles exposed to strong vibrations and harsh weather conditions, making it a versatile Antenna solution.
What does IP69K certification mean in practical use?
IP69K is the highest protection class against the ingress of water and foreign objects. In practice, this means that the Antenna and the Router installed within it can withstand cleaning with a high-pressure or steam jet from close range, ensuring durability in extreme conditions.
Why is integrating a Router into the Antenna enclosure advantageous?
The main advantage lies in the drastic reduction of Cabling length between the Router and the Antenna. Long Antenna Cables lead to signal loss (attenuation), which reduces range and speed. Integration ensures the best possible performance, and the Router is optimally protected at the same time.
Which Router models fit into the EPNT-7 housing?
The housing is designed for compact Router boards or small modules up to a size of 108 x 73.5 x 20 mm. For example, it is compatible with devices like the Rajant Cardinal, often used in industrial Mesh Network setups.
Does the Antenna also support mobile communication frequencies like 4G or 5G?
No, this specific model (A-EPNT-0007-V1-02) is a pure Dual-Band WiFi Antenna for the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency bands. It does not support mobile communication frequencies like those used by 4G / 5G Routers or 4G / LTE Outdoor Antennas and 5G Antennas / Outdoor Antennas.
