One Connection, Five Signals: Your Hub for Mobile Reception
No more Antenna clutter on your vehicle's roof! The Teltonika PR1KCO28 consolidates five powerful Antennas into a single, elegant housing. This not only simplifies installation to a minimum – a single drill hole is sufficient – but also ensures a professional and tidy appearance. Whether on the roof of your camper, the cab of a construction machine, or an outdoor IoT Enclosure, this Antenna is the ultimate solution for reliable and uncomplicated connectivity. It is the perfect complement for all common Teltonika 4G / 5G Routers.
Stable Internet on the Go Thanks to 4G & WiFi MIMO
The PR1KCO28 is more than just an Antenna – it's a performance upgrade for your mobile Network. Thanks to the integrated 2x2 MIMO (Multiple Input, Multiple Output) technology for 4G and WiFi, your router can send and receive multiple data streams simultaneously. The result: noticeably higher transmission rates, a more stable connection, and better performance, even in areas with weak Network coverage or many reflections, such as in urban environments. This external 4G MIMO antenna vehicle is your guarantee for reliable internet on the road.
Built for Any Weather: The Weatherproof 4G GPS WiFi Antenna
Designed for uncompromising outdoor use, the PR1KCO28 withstands the toughest conditions. The housing made of UV-resistant ABS plastic is IP67 certified, meaning it is completely dust-tight and even protected against temporary immersion. With an extremely wide operating temperature range of -40 °C to +85 °C, this antenna functions reliably in freezing cold and scorching heat. It belongs to the category of Vehicle Antennas - 4G, 5G, WiFi, which are built for durability.
Precise Navigation with Active GNSS Technology
For fleet management, tracking, or simply for reliable navigation, exact positioning is essential. The dedicated GNSS antenna of the PR1KCO28 features an integrated, low-noise amplifier (LNA) with a high gain of 28 dB. This actively amplifies weak satellite signals from GPS and GLONASS, leading to a faster “Time To First Fix” (TTFF) and consistently more precise positioning. The amplifier is conveniently powered via the coaxial cable directly from the router. Ideal for all applications in the Yacht / Camper / Motorhome sector.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Which routers is the Teltonika PR1KCO28 antenna compatible with?
The antenna is primarily designed for Teltonika LTE / 5G Routers of the RUT and RUTX series that have the corresponding connectors (2x SMA for 4G, 2x RP-SMA for WiFi, 1x SMA for GPS). This includes models like RUT241, RUT951, RUT956, RUTX11, RUTX12, and RUTX14. Basically, it is compatible with any router that has these five external antenna connectors.
What is the difference between SMA and RP-SMA connectors?
SMA (SubMiniature version A) and RP-SMA (Reverse Polarity SMA) look identical externally but are electrically incompatible. A standard SMA plug has a pin in the center, and a jack has a hole. With RP-SMA, it's the opposite: the plug has a hole, and the jack has a pin. The PR1KCO28 uses SMA for 4G/GPS and the common RP-SMA for WiFi Antennas.
Does a hole need to be drilled in the vehicle roof for mounting?
Yes, the antenna is designed for screw mounting. This requires drilling a hole in the roof or mounting surface to feed the threaded base with the cables through and securely fasten the antenna from below with the supplied nut. This type of Mounting Systems ensures a stable and permanently sealed installation.
Does this antenna improve reception in rural areas with a weak signal?
Yes, an externally mounted Antennas like the PR1KCO28 significantly improves reception compared to the small internal or stub Antennas of a router. By mounting it on the roof of a vehicle or building, the signal is less attenuated by obstacles, leading to a more stable and often faster connection in areas with weak Network coverage.
Does the GPS antenna require a separate Power Supply?
No, the active GPS/GNSS Antennas WiFi, LTE, 5G, GNSS does not require a separate power line. The integrated low-noise amplifier (LNA) is supplied with the necessary voltage (3-5 V) directly from the connected router via the GPS coaxial cable. This is a standard feature on most routers with an external GPS connection.
Is the antenna suitable for use on boats (maritime environment)?
Although the Antennas is very weather-resistant with IP67, it is primarily designed for land vehicles and stationary applications. For maritime use, which is exposed to constant saltwater, specially certified antennas with even more corrosion-resistant materials are often recommended. However, the basic function is also given near the coast.
