Poynting’s new PUCK antenna offers a small profile antenna for use in the IoT/M2M, Smart Meter, Smart Utilities, Transportation, Marine and the Agricultural/Farming markets. The PUCK-5 consists of a 5-in-1 antenna system within a single housing, featuring 2×2 MIMO 5G, 2×2 MIMO Wi-Fi (Dual-band 2.4 GHz & 5 GHz) and GPS/GLONASS. The 2x Cellular MIMO antennas (for 2G/3G/4G and 5G) offer wideband coverage from 617 to 6000 MHz, covering contemporary LTE/4G and 5G bands for future-proof implementation. The ultra-wideband performance of the cellular antennas allows it to be used across different operators and technologies and is ready for future cellular technologies up to 6 GHz for 5G applications.
The antenna provides two separate dual-band Wi-Fi antennas offering concurrent 2.4GHz, 5GHz and 6GHz bands, capable of 802.11n and 802.11ac/ax/be with 2×2 MIMO. The fifth antenna is a high-performance active GPS/GLONASS system operating at temperatures as low as -40ºC. The PUCK exceeds the performance of many competitors due to the attention to design of this high-performance antenna. The radiation patterns of all radiating elements provide an excellent balance between omnidirectionality, pattern diversity and good radiation abilities at the desired elevation, which is often overlooked in such a small size antenna. Despite its small size, this antenna provides excellent performance especially at the higher frequency bands, where performance is critical for 5G and LTE throughput and connection stability. This antenna is designed so that both the 5G/LTE ports are connected to the router/device to ensure the best performance. Please see other derivatives of the PUCK range that are more suitable for a SISO application.
