Future-Proof Reception: The LPDA-500 5G & WiFi 6E Antenna
Stop making compromises. The Poynting LPDA-500 is not just an Antenna – it's your ticket to the future of wireless communication. With an extremely wide frequency band ranging from 617 MHz up to 7200 MHz, you are prepared for anything. Whether you want to get the full performance from your 4G / 5G Router today or use the new Wi-Fi 6E frequencies tomorrow, this Antenna covers it all. This enormous bandwidth makes it a unique investment that will pay off for years.
Consistent High-Gain Performance for Stable Connections
What good is the widest bandwidth if the performance fluctuates? This is exactly where the LPDA-500 shines. Unlike many competitor products, it delivers a consistently high gain of up to 11.5 dBi across almost the entire frequency spectrum. For you, this means a stable, fast, and reliable connection, even in areas with notoriously poor reception. Ideal for a home office in the countryside, for uninterrupted streaming, or for critical business applications where every connection drop counts.
Robustness for Any Weather: Your Weatherproof Outdoor Antenna
The LPDA-500 was developed for permanent outdoor use under the most adverse conditions. The UV-stabilized housing with IP65 protection class is dust-tight and protected against strong jet water. It withstands wind speeds of up to 160 km/h, extreme temperatures from -40°C to +80°C, and is even protected against salt spray thanks to MIL-STD certification. This antenna is one of the most robust 5G Antennas / Outdoor Antennas on the market, making it perfect for mounting on masts, house walls, or near coastal areas.
Perfect for MIMO: Easy Installation for Maximum Speed
Modern 4G- and 5G-routers use MIMO (Multiple Input, Multiple Output) technology to achieve their full speed. For this, you need two Antennas. Poynting has thought ahead: The included Mounting System of the LPDA-500 can be cleverly rotated in 45° steps. This allows you to easily install two Antennas in the optimal polarization (vertical/horizontal or ±45°). The result is maximum data throughput and noticeably better connection quality. Installation becomes child's play even for non-professionals.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Do I need one or two of these Antennas for my 5G Router?
For most modern 4G and 5G Routers, you need two Antennas to fully utilize MIMO (Multiple Input, Multiple Output) technology. The LPDA-500 is specifically designed for this and should be installed in a pair, with one Antenna oriented vertically and the other horizontally (or both at a ±45° angle) to achieve the best possible performance for your Network.
How do I correctly align the Poynting LPDA-500 Antenna?
As a directional Antenna, the LPDA-500 must be precisely aligned with the nearest or most powerful cell tower of your mobile provider. Use cell tower location apps and your 4G / 5G Routers' signal strength indicator to slowly rotate the Antenna until you find the optimal reception value.
Can I also use this Antenna for my WiFi?
Yes, the Antenna covers the frequency bands for WiFi (2.4 GHz Components, 5 GHz Components) and even for the latest Wi-Fi 6E standard (6 GHz). It can be used to establish a point-to-point WiFi connection over a greater distance, but it is not a replacement for a WiFi Router or WiFi Access Points.
Which Cable should I use for the LPDA-500?
Use a high-quality, low-loss 50-ohm Coaxial Cable. For lengths up to 10 meters, a Cable from the type HDF-195 or CFD-200 is a good choice. For longer distances, you should consider an even lower-attenuation Cable (e.g., HDF-400) to minimize signal loss, ensuring optimal Network performance.
Is the Antenna suitable for use near the coast with salty air?
Yes, absolutely. The Antenna is MIL-STD 810G certified for salt spray resistance, which makes it ideal for use in maritime or coastal environments, perfect for Yacht / Camper / Motorhome setups.
What does 'future-proof' mean for this Antenna?
Future-proof means that the extremely wide frequency range of 617 to 7200 MHz covers not only all currently used 4G / 5G Antennas frequencies but also frequency bands that might be released for mobile communications or WiFi in the future. This means you likely won't need to invest in a new Antenna when new technology standards emerge, ensuring long-term value for your Network.
