The Revolution in Marine Connectivity: The RIPL-16 Antenna Enclosure
Imagine being able to simply eliminate the signal losses caused by long Antenna Cables on your ship. That's exactly what the Poynting RIPL-16 enables you to do. This system is not an ordinary Antenna – it is a highly developed weatherproof CPE Enclosure for 5G Routers, allowing you to install your high-performance Router directly inside. The result? The connection between the Antenna and Router is only a few centimeters long. This means maximum signal strength, minimal noise, and ultimately the fastest and most stable mobile internet connection you can get at sea, enhancing your overall Network experience.
Extreme Performance through 16x16 MIMO Technology
At the heart of the RIPL-16 is its massive 16x16 MIMO 5G Marine Antenna. This configuration utilizes 16 specialized Antenna elements to send and receive multiple data streams in parallel. In practice, this virtually doubles your potential data rates and ensures an exceptionally robust connection, even far offshore or in crowded harbors. The cross-polarized arrangement of the Antennas (8 vertical, 8 horizontal) also compensates for ship movements and guarantees a stable link to the transmission mast, no matter how rough the sea is.
Future-Proof, Robust, and Made for Professionals
The RIPL-16 is an investment in the future. Instead of having to replace an entire system with the next Router generation, you simply replace the internal component. The robust, IP65-certified Enclosure protects not only the Antenna technology but also your Router from saltwater, UV radiation, and dust. This High-Performance Broadband Antenna for Yachts and commercial vessels is the ultimate solution for anyone who doesn't want to compromise on internet connectivity at sea.
Strengths & Notes at a Glance
- Pro: The integration of the Router directly into the Antenna Enclosure virtually eliminates all RF Cable losses, leading to maximum signal quality and higher data rates.
- Pro: The system is future-proof. If Router technology becomes outdated, only the internal Router needs to be replaced, not the expensive Antenna unit.
- Pro: The superior 16x16 MIMO performance with cross-polarization ensures extremely stable connections and potentially doubles data rates, ideal for ship movements.
- Pro: The all-in-one solution in the robust, IP65-certified, and saltwater-resistant Enclosure protects all electronics from the harsh conditions at sea.
- Note: The high weight of approx. 25 kg and size require a stable Mounting System infrastructure and are primarily suitable for superyachts, ferries, and commercial vessels.
- Note: The selection and installation of the appropriate Router requires technical expertise to ensure compatibility and correct internal Cabling.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Is the Poynting RIPL-16 a complete 5G Router for ships?
No, the RIPL-16 is a sophisticated Antenna enclosure. You need to install your own 5G Router inside. The system then combines the best Antenna technology with the Router of your choice to create a powerful overall Network solution.
Why does the Antenna have 16x16 MIMO? What advantage does that offer?
16x16 MIMO (Multiple Input, Multiple Output) utilizes 16 transmit and receive Antennas to process multiple data streams simultaneously. This significantly increases data transfer rates and connection reliability, which is crucial, especially in demanding maritime environments, enhancing your Network performance.
Can I install any Router in the RIPL-16?
You can install a variety of Routers, as long as they do not exceed the maximum dimensions of 300 x 250 x 110 mm. It is important to pay attention to the number of Antenna Cables connections on your Router to fully utilize the potential of the 16 Antennas.
What does 'cross-polarized' mean and why is it important at sea?
Cross-polarization means that the Antennas are aligned both vertically and horizontally. On a ship that is constantly moving and tilting, this ensures that an optimally aligned Antenna can always receive the signal from the transmission mast, leading to a significantly more stable and reliable Network connection.
Is the installation of the Poynting RIPL-16 complicated?
Installation requires specialized knowledge. Mounting the heavy Enclosures on the mast or superstructure, the internal installation and Cabling of the Router, and sealing the cable glands should be performed by a qualified technician, ensuring proper Network setup.
For which ships is the RIPL-16 ideal?
It is ideal for larger vessels such as superyachts, commercial ships, cruise ships, and ferries that require an extremely fast and reliable internet connection for crew, passengers, or critical onboard systems, leveraging 5G Antennas and 4G / LTE Outdoor Antennas for robust Network connectivity.
