No More Signal Loss: Your Router Belongs Outdoors
Do you know the feeling? You buy an expensive outdoor Antenna, lay meters of Antenna cables through walls, and in the end, the speed gain is disappointing. The problem is signal loss in the cable. The Poynting EPNT-2 v3 revolutionizes this approach. It's not just an Antenna, but a robust home for your 4G/5G router. By installing the router directly in the Enclosure, you create the shortest possible connection to the antenna. This is the most effective method to maximize signal quality and ensure a stable, lightning-fast internet connection. The perfect solution to reduce signal loss through Antenna Cables.
Hybrid Antenna Technology: The Best of Both Worlds
What makes the EPNT-2 v3 special is its clever, hybrid antenna system. It combines two cross-polarized, high-gain directional Antennas – ideal for targeting a distant cell tower in rural areas. At the same time, two omnidirectional Antennas ensure that signals from other directions and reflections in the city are also optimally utilized. This 4x4 MIMO Antenna CPE for Fixed Wireless Access thus adapts perfectly to any environment and always guarantees the best possible reception.
Built to Last: Robustness You Can Rely On
The EPNT-2 v3 was developed for uncompromising outdoor use. The Enclosure, made of UV-stable ASA plastic and die-cast aluminum, defies all weather conditions. With protection class IP65, it is completely protected against dust and jet water. The IK08 impact resistance rating also makes it extremely resistant to vandalism. Whether in arctic -40°C or in the scorching summer heat of +80°C – this antenna Enclosure reliably protects your valuable router electronics for years.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the main advantage of installing the router directly into the Poynting EPNT-2 enclosure?
The crucial advantage is the drastic reduction of signal loss. In traditional setups, a long Antenna Cable between an outdoor antenna and an indoor router can lose a significant portion of the signal strength. By integrating the 4G / 5G Routers into the EPNT-2, the Antenna Cables length is only a few centimeters, leading to maximum signal quality, higher data rates, and a more stable Network connection.
Is the Poynting EPNT-2 v3 a complete 5G Router?
No, it is a sophisticated Antenna Enclosures. It contains the antenna technology (4x cellular, 2x WiFi), but provides space for a separately purchased 4G / 5G Router. You need to install your own router inside to get a functioning system and establish a reliable Network.
Which environments is the EPNT-2 v3 best suited for?
It is extremely versatile. Thanks to its hybrid Antenna design, it is excellent for rural areas with weak signal reception, where the directional Antennas can be aimed at a distant cell tower. At the same time, its omni-directional elements also make it work very well in dense urban areas. Its robust construction also makes it ideal for industrial applications, ensuring a strong Network connection.
Which router models fit into the EPNT-2 enclosure?
The Enclosures can accommodate 4G / 5G Routers up to a maximum size of 185 x 145 x 45 mm. The internal Mounting Systems plate has pre-drilled holes for various common router models. However, it is important to check the dimensions of your desired router before purchase to ensure compatibility and optimal Network performance.
What do the IP65 and IK08 certifications mean?
IP65 means that the Enclosures are completely dust-tight and protected against powerful water jets. IK08 indicates the degree of impact resistance, meaning the enclosure can withstand an energy of 5 joules, making it very resistant to vandalism and protecting your Network equipment.
Do I need special tools for installation?
No, the installation is straightforward. The scope of delivery already includes Mounting Systems for mast, wall, and temporary window mounting. You only need standard tools to attach the brackets and connect the short Antenna Cables from the antenna port to your 4G / 5G Router, simplifying your Network setup.
