Overview
Overview
Mobility 42G puts everything a mobile router needs on one roof-mounted antenna: four LTE/5G elements for 4×4 MIMO, two dual-band Wi-Fi elements for 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz, and a GPS element for location tracking. Cellular coverage runs from 617 to 6000 MHz, supporting LTE bands B1 to B86 and 5G bands n1 to n99.
With up to 8.2 dBi cellular gain, an IP68-rated UV-stable PC radome, a -40°C to 80°C operating range and 167 mph wind survivability, it is built for vehicles, vessels and exposed fixed installations. It installs through a single 43 mm hole on panels up to 15 mm thick, or on a wall or pole.
Key highlights
- 7-in-1: 4x LTE/5G, 2x Wi-Fi, 1x GPS
- 4×4 MIMO cellular for 5G-ready routers
- Dual-band Wi-Fi: 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz
- Up to 8.2 dBi cellular gain
- IP68 rated, UV-stable PC radome
- Operates from -40°C to 80°C
- Wind survivability of 167 mph
- Panel, wall or pole mounting
Recommended for
- Fleet & emergency vehicles — One antenna covers cellular, onboard Wi-Fi and GPS tracking
- Buses & trains — Dual-band Wi-Fi elements extend passenger Wi-Fi outside a metal body
- Maritime — IP68 sealing and salt spray testing for deck-mounted installs
- Remote & fixed sites — High-gain 4×4 MIMO improves throughput where signal is marginal
Performance
