Overview
Overview
Antenna Max is a 7-in-1 antenna and router enclosure: four 5G-ready cellular elements, two dual-band Wi-Fi elements and an active GPS antenna inside a white, UV-stable, IP67 radome. A supported Peplink router fits inside and connects via short right-angle SMA and RP-SMA leads.
Because the router lives at the antenna, there is no coax run to lose signal in – only an Ethernet cable passes through the supplied cable glands. It suits surface, wall or pole mounting on vehicles, rooftops and remote fixed sites.
Key highlights
- Houses a Peplink router at the antenna
- 4x 5G-ready cellular elements (617–6000 MHz)
- 2x Wi-Fi elements (2.4 & 5 GHz)
- Active GPS antenna
- Up to 6.6 dBi cellular peak gain
- Near-zero RF cable loss
- IP67, UV-stable PC enclosure
- Surface, wall or pole mounting
Recommended for
- Vehicles & fleets — Roof-mount a router and antennas together with one cable into the cab.
- Rooftop fixed sites — Eliminates coax loss on long runs from roof to comms room.
- Remote & outdoor sites — Weatherproof router housing for kiosks, CCTV and IoT.
- Outdoor Wi-Fi — Built-in Wi-Fi elements extend the router’s hotspot outdoors.
