The Poynting LPDA-92 Antenna is a durable and high performance directional 4G antenna capable of operating on most global 4G frequencies from 700 to 3800 MHz. The antenna provides a modest 11 dBi gain across standard 4G frequencies between the range of 700 and 2700 MHz, making it suitable for use in hilly terrain or in locations obstructed by vegetation.
The LPDA-92 antenna is also capable of operation on 5G frequencies, although only at near unity gain (2.3 dBi).
When used for 4G or 5G internet, two or more LPDA antennas should be mounted at opposing polarities - either V&H (pictured) or Slant-45 orientations.
The antenna is available with a short 300 mm cable terminating with N Female, or with a longer 7 metre cable with an SMA Male connector.
Recommended Use
The key feature of this antenna is its mechanical durability. The antenna is manufactured in South Africa from cast-aluminium making it exceptionally strong. LPDA-92 performs very well on the lower 3G and 4G bands, although its use as a 5G antenna is strongly discouraged due to poor performance.
The antenna has a consistently low VSWR right across the operating band, even outside stated bands. This makes it suitable for use on SDL bands such as 1500 MHz. The antenna has a very sharp cut-off at 700 MHz, making it unsuitable for use on the B71 600 MHz band.
Safety Notice
Like all high gain antenna it is important to disconnect this antenna during handling and installation. This product may generate EME that exceeds ARPANSA safety limits within 200 mm of the antenna mainlobe.
