• Easy mounting on standard 1-inch (14 TPI) marine brackets with integrated cable feedthrough
• Patented feed network using multiple dipoles for superior pattern control
• IP68 protection against dust and water, with IK10 impact resistance
• Balanced gain optimised for carrier aggregation (CA) to enhance LTE performance

Design and Performance

The OMNI-404 is a medium-gain omnidirectional antenna that covers all contemporary LTE frequencies from 698 to 3800 MHz, delivering perfectly balanced gain across all bands. This balanced gain improves LTE performance, particularly for carrier aggregation (CA), and the antenna is also fully compatible with all 5G networks up to 3800 MHz. Poynting achieves this level of pattern control through an innovative design using multiple dipoles and a unique patented feed network.

Maximum gain reaches 2 dBi in the 1710–2700 MHz band, 1.5 dBi in the 3400–3800 MHz band, and -4 dBi in the 698–960 MHz band. Polarisation is vertical linear, and the voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) is ≤ 2.5:1. The antenna supports an input power of 10 W with a nominal input impedance of 50 Ohm.

Marine Environment Resistance

The radome is made from UV-stable marine-grade ASA in bright white (Pantone P 179-1 C), specifically engineered for harsh marine conditions. The antenna is IP68-rated for dust and water resistance and withstands salt spray in accordance with MIL-STD 810F and ASTM B117 standards. Its impact resistance is rated IK10, and the housing’s flammability classification is UL 94-HB.

The antenna withstands winds up to 190 km/h and operates in temperatures from -40 °C to +80 °C, with a relative humidity tolerance of up to 98%. These features make it a reliable component for both outdoor and indoor applications in exposed coastal environments.

Installation and Mounting

The OMNI-404 mounts directly onto a standard 1-inch (14 TPI) marine bracket, simplifying installation on most common marine fixtures. The included BRKT-40 adapter bracket provides cable feedthrough. The antenna has compact dimensions of 252 mm in height and 75 mm in diameter, weighing just 0.35 kg.

Optional marine-grade stainless steel brackets, including models BRKT-37, BRKT-38, and BRKT-39, are available to adapt the installation for various vessel and coastal structure configurations. The N-Type (F) connector ensures a robust coaxial connection suitable for outdoor deployments.

Applications

The OMNI-404 is designed for marine and coastal applications, including yachts, boats, and ferries. It is also ideal for improving LTE reception in weak signal areas, reliable data transmission, and IoT or M2M applications operating in the 2.4–2.5 GHz band. The antenna supports 2G, 3G, 4G/LTE, and 5G cellular technologies, including 5G RedCap, as well as Wi-Fi 3 (802.11g).

The SISO configuration with a single LTE port covers numerous 5G and LTE bands, including CBRS, enabling flexible deployment across multiple operators and regions.

Compliance and Certifications

The antenna complies with the RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and is manufactured under an ISO 9001:2015-certified quality management system. It carries the CE mark and comes with a 24-month warranty. The DC short-circuit provides a path to ground, offering additional protection against electrostatic discharge in exposed installations.
