Know before you buy
No, the Poynting XPOL-1-5G V2 is a passive antenna. It does not require an external power supply and operates solely by capturing and directing cellular signals to your router.
Yes, it is a wideband antenna covering frequencies from 698 MHz to 3800 MHz. This makes it compatible with 2G, 3G, 4G, and 5G networks.
Yes, the unit features an IP65-rated enclosure, meaning it is fully protected against dust and water spray. It is designed specifically for durable outdoor installation in various weather conditions.
The antenna includes a 5-meter HDF-195 cable terminated with an SMA (male) connector. Please verify that your router or modem has matching SMA ports before purchasing.
Because this is an omni-directional antenna, it does not need to be precisely aimed at a specific tower. It is designed to receive signals from all directions, making it easier to install in areas where the tower location is unknown or multiple towers are present.
The 2x2 MIMO (Multiple-Input Multiple-Output) design uses two separate antennas within one housing to send and receive multiple data streams simultaneously. This significantly improves data speeds and connection stability compared to a single-antenna setup.
