Zero Cable Loss, Maximum 5G Performance
The decisive advantage of the EPNT-4 lies in its intelligent design as Customer Premises Equipment (CPE). Instead of sending your router's signal over long coaxial cables to an outdoor Antenna and losing valuable signal strength, you install your router directly into the Antenna Enclosure. The connection cables are only a few centimeters long, reducing signal loss to practically 0 dB. Especially at the high frequencies of 5G, this is the key to maximum data rates and a rock-solid connection where other systems would long give up. This makes it one of the best 5G Antennas / Outdoor Antennas on the market.
Built to Last: Extremely Robust Outdoor Enclosure
The EPNT-4 was developed for the most extreme conditions. The 'Penguin' Enclosure is not only IP67 dust and waterproof but also protected against vandalism with an impact resistance class of IK10. Made from UV-stable ASA and completely saltwater resistant, it withstands years of sun, storm, rain, and salty sea air. Whether on an industrial site, an agricultural farm, or as part of your Yacht / Camper / Motorhome equipment – this enclosure reliably protects your valuable technology.
Future-Proof Antenna Design for All Networks
Invest in a solution that works today and tomorrow. The integrated 7-in-1 antenna system is a technological masterpiece. The four mobile Antennas cover the frequency spectrum from 617 to 4200 MHz with their ultra-broadband design, making them ready for all current and future 5G and 4G bands. The 4x4 MIMO setup is perfectly matched to technologies like Carrier Aggregation to bundle multiple frequency bands and maximize throughput. The system is complemented by two dual-band 2x2 MIMO Wi-Fi Antennas and an active GPS/GLONASS antenna.
Flexible Mounting and Easy Integration
The installation of the EPNT-4 is uncomplicated and flexible. Included in the scope of delivery is everything you need for professional pole, wall, or surface mounting, including a robust stainless steel bracket. Inside, the enclosure offers space for routers up to 140 x 120 x 50 mm, such as models from Teltonika or Peplink. Cabling is often reduced to a single Ethernet Cable that supplies both data and power via Power over Ethernet (PoE) – a clean and efficient solution.
Strengths & Notes at a Glance
- Pro: Elimination of cable losses leads to maximum signal strength and stability.
- Pro: Superior 4x4 MIMO performance for 5G/4G maximizes data throughput.
- Pro: Extremely robust (IP67, IK10) and saltwater-resistant enclosure for the most demanding environments.
- Pro: Future-proof ultra-broadband coverage (617-4200 MHz) for all current and future mobile networks.
- Note: The installation space for the router is limited to 140x120x50 mm, which restricts selection.
- Note: The waste heat from the router in the closed enclosure can pose a thermal challenge in direct sunlight.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the main advantage of the Poynting EPNT-4 compared to a normal outdoor antenna?
The decisive advantage is the CPE design. By having the router sit directly in the housing, long, signal-degrading Antenna Cables are avoided. This results in a significantly stronger and more stable signal, leading to higher internet speeds, especially with 5G.
Which routers fit into the EPNT-4 v1-17 housing?
Routers with maximum dimensions of 140 x 120 x 50 mm fit. Popular and frequently used models are, for example, from Teltonika (e.g., RUTX50) or Peplink. Poynting sometimes offers compatibility lists on its website.
Is the EPNT-4 suitable for use on a boat or motorhome?
Yes, absolutely. Thanks to its omnidirectional characteristic, complete saltwater resistance, and robust construction, it is ideal for marine applications and for mobile use on vehicles such as motorhomes, where reliable reception is crucial.
Do I need a professional for the installation?
The installation requires basic technical understanding. It includes opening the housing, installing the router, cable management (typically a single Ethernet Cable for data and PoE), and mechanical mounting. Detailed instructions are included.
Does the antenna support Carrier Aggregation (CA)?
Yes, the ultra-wideband frequency coverage and the powerful 4x4 MIMO design of the cellular Antennas are explicitly designed to fully utilize the benefits of 5G and 4G-Advanced features such as Carrier Aggregation, thereby maximizing data throughput.
What does 'cross-polarized' mean and why is it important?
Cross-polarization means that the antenna elements are arranged at different angles. This helps the receiver to better distinguish signals that have been altered by reflections on their path. The result is a more robust and reliable connection with higher data throughput.
