Your Mobile Command Center for Borderless Connectivity
Imagine you're on the go – whether in an emergency vehicle, on a remote construction site, or at sea – and you need an absolutely reliable, fast, and versatile internet connection. Conventional solutions with multiple individual Antennas are often complicated, space-consuming, and susceptible to interference. This is where the Poynting MIMO-3-17 comes in: your ultimate 5G vehicle Antenna, offering you seamless connectivity for 4G Antenna, WiFi Antenna (Dual-Band), and GPS GLONASS antenna in a single, elegant, and extremely robust housing. With this omnidirectional antenna, you transform any vehicle into a high-performance communication center.
Applications that Impress: Where the MIMO-3-17 Shines
The Poynting MIMO-3-17 is not just an antenna, but a comprehensive solution for demanding mobile and industrial applications. It is perfect for:
- Mobile Command Centers and Emergency Services: In emergency vehicles for police, fire brigades, or rescue services, the antenna enables reliable and fast data communication (5G/4G) for real-time video transmission, database access, and precise GPS positioning, even in difficult terrain or at large events. The robust design ensures operation under extreme conditions.
- Autonomous Vehicles and Robotics in Industry: For autonomous forklifts in warehouses, automated guided vehicles (AGVs) in factories, or mobile robots on construction sites, the antenna provides the necessary connectivity for precise navigation (GPS/GLONASS), control via WiFi, and remote maintenance/data analysis via 5G/4G.
- Remote Monitoring and Telemetry for Construction Machinery: On remote construction sites or in the mining industry, the MIMO-3-17 enables the transmission of telemetry data, machine status, and safety information in real time. This supports predictive maintenance, theft protection, and the optimization of excavators, cranes, and other heavy equipment.
Technological Superiority: 7-in-1 Power and Robustness
The Poynting MIMO-3-17 is a masterpiece of engineering. It combines seven antenna elements in a single housing: four for 4x4 MIMO Cellular 5G/4G, two for 2x2 MIMO WiFi, and one for GPS/GLONASS. This MIMO antenna offers ultra-broadband coverage from 410 MHz to 3800 MHz for cellular communication, including the important 450 MHz and 3.5 GHz CBRS bands, making it ready for future 5G technologies. For your WiFi, it covers both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz (up to 7.2 GHz). Its extreme resilience is underscored by the IP69K waterproof protection class and an IK10 impact resistance – a truly robust antenna that withstands even the harshest conditions. You can easily connect it to any modern 4G / 5G router to get the most out of your connection.
Easy Installation, Maximum Flexibility
The installation of the Poynting MIMO-3-17 is extremely simple and flexible. Thanks to the threaded spigot, the roof mount antenna can be easily attached, even on surfaces with up to 60 mm clamping thickness. Alternatively, adhesive surface mounting or an optional magnetic base are available. Since the antenna is ground plane independent, you can mount it on almost any surface without fearing performance degradation. The seven integrated Antenna Cables are thin but optimally matched to the compact design and offer you sufficient leeway for routing with 2 meters in length.
Strengths & Notes at a Glance
- Pro: Comprehensive 7-in-1 Multifunctionality: The antenna combines 4x4 MIMO 4G/5G, 2x2 MIMO WiFi, and GPS/GLONASS in a single, compact housing. This simplifies installation and reduces space requirements compared to multiple individual Antennas, while covering a wide range of connectivity needs.
- Pro: Excellent Robustness and Weather Resistance: With an IP69K protection class and IK10 impact resistance, the antenna is extremely resistant to water, dust, corrosion, and mechanical impacts. This makes it ideal for use in harsh environments such as transport, marine, and industry.
- Pro: Ultra-Broadband Coverage and Future-Proofing: The antenna covers a very wide frequency range from 410 MHz to 3800 MHz for cellular communication, including the 450 MHz and 3.5 GHz CBRS bands, and is designed for future 5G technologies up to 3.8 GHz. This ensures compatibility with various Network operators and technologies over a long period.
- Note: Potentially Marginal Performance on Certain Frequency Bands: Although the antenna offers broad coverage, performance on specific bands, such as T-Mobile Band 71, has been described as 'marginal,' even after recertification. This could limit effectiveness in areas with exclusive use of these bands.
- Note: Cable Density and Length: The integration of seven antenna elements in one housing requires seven separate cables that must be routed through a single mounting hole. This results in thinner cables (RTK 031) compared to Antennas with fewer elements, which can lead to higher signal loss over longer cable runs.
