Zero Signal Loss: Your Router Directly in the Antenna
The most ingenious feature of the Poynting EPNT-2 v3 is its basic principle: Instead of running a long, attenuating Antenna cable from the roof into the house, you install your 5G router directly into the weather-resistant enclosure. The internal pigtail cables are only a few centimeters long. This means: Virtually zero signal loss. Every decibel of signal strength captured by the high-performance Antennas reaches your router directly. The result is a noticeably faster and more stable internet connection that you could never achieve with external Antennas and long cables.
Hybrid 4x4 MIMO Power for Maximum 5G Reception
Inside the EPNT-2 v3 is a highly developed Antenna technology based on the proven XPOL-2-5G. A smart combination of two directional and two omni-directional, cross-polarized Antennas ensures 4x4 MIMO coverage. The system thus captures signals from different directions and on different polarization planes. This not only improves pure reception but also drastically increases the stability and data throughput of your 5G Network. Whether in the city with many reflections or in the countryside with only one transmission mast – this antenna gets the maximum out of it.
Built for Eternity: IP65 & IK08 Protection for Your Technology
Your sensitive router electronics deserve the best protection. The EPNT-2 v3 Enclosure is made of UV-stable ASA plastic and a solid aluminum base. With IP65 certification, it is absolutely dustproof and protected against strong jet water. The IK08 classification also makes it extremely shock-resistant and resistant to vandalism. Whether in storms, hail, extreme heat (+80°C) or cold (-40°C) – your router works safely and protected inside. This makes the EPNT-2 v3 the ideal antenna for improving rural internet and for years of maintenance-free outdoor use.
The Ultimate Solution for Fixed Wireless Access (FWA)
The EPNT-2 v3 is the professional choice for any Fixed Wireless Access antenna solution. By combining the antenna and router Enclosure, you create a powerful Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) unit. Installation is incredibly simple: Mount the Enclosure, install a compatible router like the Teltonika 4G / 5G Router RUTX50, and run only a single Ethernet Cable for data and power (PoE) into the building. This reduces installation effort, minimizes sources of error, and delivers a clean, high-performance solution for fast mobile internet.
Strengths & Notes at a Glance
- Pro: Due to the direct integration of the router, signal losses from long Antenna Cables are almost completely eliminated, leading to higher data rates.
- Pro: Extremely high gain of up to 11 dBi on the 5G bands and broad frequency coverage from 617 MHz.
- Pro: The robust IP65/IK08 enclosure protects the router from extreme weather conditions and vandalism.
- Pro: The integrated 4x4 MIMO structure for 5G and 2x2 MIMO for Wi-Fi maximizes the performance of modern routers.
- Note: A compatible 4G/5G router is not included and must be purchased separately.
- Note: It must be ensured that the connections of the chosen router (SMA/RP-SMA) match the internal pigtails.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What exactly is the Poynting EPNT-2 v3?
The EPNT-2 v3 is an all-in-one antenna enclosure. It combines high-performance antennas for 4G, 5G, and WiFi with a weather-resistant housing, into which a separate 5G router is installed to create an optimized outdoor reception unit.
Why should I install the router into the antenna?
By having the router sit directly on the antenna elements, the connection cables are shortened to just a few centimeters. This prevents the significant signal loss that occurs with 5 or 10 meter long cables, thus maximizing internet speed and stability.
Is the EPNT-2 v3 suitable for every location?
Yes, it is extremely versatile. The combination of directional and omni-directional antennas makes it suitable for both urban environments with many transmission masts and rural areas where a weak signal needs to be specifically received from a distant mast.
Which routers fit into the EPNT-2 v3 enclosure?
The enclosure is designed for a variety of routers that do not exceed the maximum internal dimensions of 185 x 145 x 45 mm. Models like the Teltonika RUTX50 are a well-known example. Always check the compatibility lists.
Is the installation complicated?
Installation is straightforward for a technically skilled person. The enclosure comes with brackets for pole, wall, or window mounting. After installing the router, typically only a single Ethernet Cable for data and PoE Power Supply needs to be routed into the building.
Is the enclosure weather-resistant?
Yes, it is extremely robust. With an IP65 certification, it is dust-tight and protected against strong jets of water. The IK08 certification attests to high impact resistance, and the material is UV-stable for a long outdoor lifespan.
