General Description

Proxicast’s dual polarized directional LTE MIMO antenna is ideal for signal enhancement in virtually any cellular application.

It is compatible with all 3G and 4G/LTE data services from Verizon, AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, Bell Mobility, Rogers, Telus and most other cellular operators worldwide.

The antenna incorporates two separately fed ultra wideband elements in a single housing which focus radio energy into a 75 degree beam enabling connection to distant cell towers. The elements are set at 45 degree angles to provide cross-polarized multiple input / multiple output (MIMO) connectivity for LTE radio equipment resulting in higher performance.

With appropriate adapter cables (not included), this antenna is compatible with cellular modems, hotspots and routers from Cisco, Cradlepoint, Digi, Pepwave, Proxicast, Sierra Wireless and others.

The antenna’s compact, light-weight rugged housing, heavy duty mounting hardware and corrosion-resistant materials make it ideal for outdoor applications including building rooftops, utility poles, or surveillance trailers.

Directional Antenna Installation Tips

• Determine location of nearest cell tower for your carrier (see opensignal.org or cellreception.com).
• Orient antenna so cables point downward.
• Mount antenna to 2.0 inch max diameter mast or to wall as high as possible.
• Point antenna toward cell tower.
• Point away from:
  • other antennas
  • trees & buildings
  • large vertical metal or concrete objects
• Adjust antenna position left/right and up/down tilt to find optimal signal.
• Keep coax lead cable as short as possible & weatherproof all outdoor connectors.
• Observe safety codes regarding lightning protection, grounding, and mast height.
