HBR Wideband 3G & 4G Magnetic Antenna, 700 to 2700 MHz

Locally Stocked

It's truly not often that an antenna surprises our team. Manufactured in Taiwan this antenna provides true wideband operation across the full 3G and 4G range 700 to 2700 MHz. The antenna has been optimised for operation across the lower cellular band to provide best performance on 4G frequencies, including long range 700 MHz 4GX and 850 MHz Telstra Next-G.

The antenna provides a 5 dBi gain right across the 700 to 900 MHz band, and 4 dBi gain across 1710 to 2700 MHz - a very difficult achievement for this design type.

During independent laboratory testing the antenna consistently demonstrated excellent performance. The antenna has a reasonably sturdy design and its thin visual profile goes unnoticed to the passerby. The antenna is an ideal choice for IoT applications, such as NB-IoT and LTE-M.

Recommended Use

The model is most popular with our larger customers who roll out extensive numbers as part of machine control and data acquisition. Having a strong magnetic base it is fine for use on vehicles and mobile plant, but generally there are better suited models.

A comprehensive laboratory test report is available on request.
