360° Reception: Mount, connect, done!
Forget the tedious search for the perfect angle to the transmission mast. The biggest advantage of this JARFT Antenna is its omni-directional characteristic. You mount it in the best possible position – on a vehicle roof, an equipment cabinet, or an exterior wall – and it receives signals from all horizontal directions. This makes installation incredibly easy and fast. Ideal for mobile applications or if you don't know the exact location of the nearest mobile cell tower.
True 2x2 MIMO Power for Maximum Stability
Modern 4G Routers utilize 2x2 MIMO technology to drastically increase connection quality and speed. This Antenna is perfectly designed for it. With two separate cables and Antenna elements, it provides your router with two independent data streams. The result is not only a stronger signal but, above all, a significantly more robust and reliable connection – essential for critical M2M / IoT Antennas applications where every connection drop counts.
Built for Outdoors: IP65 Protection Against Wind and Weather
Whether rain, snow, or dust – this Antenna stands up to it. The robust plastic housing is certified according to protection class IP65, making it completely dust-tight and protected against jet water. An additional rubber lip on the housing edge perfectly seals the mounting surface and prevents moisture from entering. This makes it the first choice for permanent and maintenance-free outdoor use, even under harsh environmental conditions.
The Discreet Solution for IoT & Control Cabinet Mounting
Sometimes technology just needs to work without drawing attention. With its compact dimensions and simple black design, the JARFT Antenna blends unobtrusively into any environment. It's the perfect M2M / IoT Antennas for control cabinet mounting: You mount it on the outside of the metal housing to bypass signal shielding and route the cables inwards to your gateway. This ensures optimal reception without disturbing the aesthetics.
Strengths & Notes at a Glance

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Do I have to precisely align this antenna with a cell tower?
No, and that's the big advantage! As an omni-directional antenna, it captures signals from all directions. You simply mount it in a good position, and it does the rest for you – without any tedious alignment. This is a great WiFi Antenna or 4G / LTE Outdoor Antenna.
What does 2x2 MIMO mean and why does the antenna have two cables?
2x2 MIMO is a clever technology where two Antennas transmit and receive simultaneously. Your 4G / LTE Router can thus use two data streams in parallel. The result for you: a much more stable connection and often higher speeds. That's why it's important that you always connect both 4G / LTE Antenna Cables.
Can I also attach the antenna to my car or motorhome?
Yes, absolutely! It's made exactly for that. Thanks to its robust, weather-resistant design (IP65) and simple screw mounting, it's your perfect companion for massively improving 4G / LTE reception on the go. Perfect for Yacht / Camper / Motorhome setups.
My Router has TS-9 connectors. Will your antenna still fit?
No worries! The antenna comes with two standard SMA Coaxial Connectors. For your Router with TS-9 connectors, you'll just need two small, suitable Coaxial Adapters (SMA to TS-9). You simply plug them in between, and everything will fit perfectly.
Will the antenna help me if my Router is in a metal control cabinet?
Yes, that's one of its strong suits! You simply mount the 4G / LTE Outdoor Antenna on the outside of the control cabinet, where it has clear reception, and route the 4G / LTE Antenna Cables inside to your Router. This way, you bypass the shielding effect of the metal and secure a strong signal for your Network.
Is a 4 dBi gain a lot or rather little?
For such a compact and flexible omni-directional WiFi Antenna, a gain of up to 4 dBi is a really strong value. You're giving your reception a significant upgrade compared to the small stub Antennas of your Router. Only if you're in an extreme dead zone might a directional 4G / LTE Outdoor Antenna with more power be useful.
