Antenna LTE/GSM esterna Poynting A-XPOL-0016 8 dBi connettore maschio SMA

The Poynting A-XPOL-0016 external LTE/GSM antenna is a compact directional antenna with 8 dBi gain and an SMA male connector, intended to improve mobile broadband and cellular reception for routers, modems and gateways. Its cross-polarised design supports reliable signal capture across multiple frequency bands used by 2G/3G/4G LTE networks, while the rugged housing allows mounting outdoors on buildings, masts or vehicles to stabilise data connections in locations with weak or variable coverage.

Advantages

The antenna delivers up to 8 dBi gain in a small form factor, offering a balance between directivity and ease of installation. Its cross-polarised element design increases the chance of receiving usable signals from different cell towers and polarisation orientations. With an SMA male connector it is compatible with a wide range of consumer and industrial routers and modems. The enclosure is built for outdoor use and can be mounted vertically or on a pole, providing consistent performance for fixed and mobile setups.

Suitable for

• Improving cellular signal strength for home and small office routers and gateways
• Mobile broadband installations on vehicles, RVs or boats where compact directional antennas are required
• Fixed outdoor mounting on masts or building facades to stabilise 4G LTE data links
• Use with modems and routers that accept SMA male antenna connections

Key specifications

• Gain: 8 dBi
• Connector: SMA male
• Supported bands: LTE/GSM frequency ranges for 2G/3G/4G operation
• Polarisation: cross-polarised (dual orientation)
• Mounting: pole or wall mount compatible; suitable for outdoor installation
• Housing: weather-resistant enclosure designed for external use

How to use

Mount the antenna on a suitable pole, mast or wall at a location with minimal obstructions and the best line of sight to the cellular provider’s towers. Connect the SMA male connector to the external antenna port of the router, modem or gateway following the equipment manufacturer’s instructions. Aim the antenna toward the general direction of the nearest cell tower and secure all mounts and connections. After installation, verify signal levels and data throughput on the device; fine adjustments to orientation can improve performance.

Recommendations

For optimal results, place the antenna as high as practical and away from large metal objects or sources of interference. Use a short, high-quality coaxial cable and weatherproof any exposed connectors. If multiple antennas are used, maintain appropriate spacing and alignment to avoid pattern interaction; consult device manuals for diversity or MIMO configurations.
