We did some LTE speed tests on the Vodacom LTE Network in March 2013. We tested from our offices in Samrand using the HUAWEI E3276 modem. The first test was done with only the internal antennas of the router, then we connected an Omni-directional MiMo antenna and a directional MiMo Antenna. (XPOL-0001 and XPOL-0002) This give the full MiMo effect.
Please note it was on the Vodacom trial network that uses limited spectrum. Speeds will increase significantly with full bandwidth LTE deployment. Relative variations in speed increase will be similar.

The MIMO-3 is the ideal antenna to improve your internet connectivity and speed. It gives you
- True world wide coverage including 5G and very low frequencies 410-3800 Mhz vs 698-2700 MHz
- Optimized radiation patterns for even better connection stability and reliability in urban and even very remote areas
- Higher throughput

The A-MIMO-0003-V2-12 is a 2-in-1 high performance multi frequency antenna within a single housing. The two cellular MIMO antennas (for 2G/3G/4G) covers the contemporary 698 MHz to 2700 MHz bands, as well as the new emerging LTE and 5G spectrum for 450MHz and 3.5GHz CBRS bands, which is becoming popular across the various international cellular network operators for LTE. The ultra-wideband performance of the antenna allows it to be used across different operators and technologies and is ready for future cellular technologies up to 3.8 GHz for 5G applications. The antenna exceeds the performance of most competitors due to the attention to the 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. This is an important criterion for the transportation and marine market, which the antenna was specifically designed for.

Main applications are for commercial/industrial vehicles, marine, M2M and other IoT systems using a wide range of radio technologies, while remaining futureproof over the wide frequency band.

A very big part of our summer time is spend in a caravan away from home. Although many people love getting completely away from it all, there are a lot of people who would love to remain connected to internet. This may be for internet use, phone and VoIP, email or streaming TV services.


In this video we start the conversation about using the Poynting MIMO-3 antenna to upgrade any caravan or motorhome / RV to get a reliable external antenna ready for 4G no matter where you are.
If you are an existing Huawei B818 or Netgear NightHawk user, this antenna can get those devices connected in a weak areas.
Simplify your Cel-Fi GO Caravan solution by using the MIMO-3 as your 4G Antenna solution instead of a high gain omni that needs setting up everytime you stop, or buy a complete Teltonika RUT kit with the 5G Ready antenna so that you have a solution that will work now and be ready for future technologies.


During the summer period we will demonstrate on numerous locations how the MIMO-3-12 antenna can provide you with the external antenna capabilities required for a reliable internet connection.
We also present our future plans to use the Poynting XPOL-2 in a old satellite dish to see if it's possible to further improve an already great antenna.

In this video we do a review of the Poynting MIMO-3 Antenna. Because this model has a lot of variants, we believe it's worth explaining the features and differences.
This antenna is perfect for the transport industry and also RV and motorhome market. If you have a Caravan or need a Marine 4G Antenna but don't have space or complexity to use a long antenna, consider the MIMO-3 antenna. It works great with Teltonika RUT240 and RUT950 modems.
By using an additional TS9 pigtail, this antenna will fit perfectly with the Netgear NightHawk and Huawei B818 modems, as well as the new 5G WiFi modems such as the ZTE MU500 from Telstra.

Poynting Marine and Coastal Antennas

Poynting offers a range of antennas that are designed specifically for marine and coastal applications, where performance, quality, styling, and weather protection is critical. This range of antennas are aimed at the luxury yacht market and can also be used in other applications with harsh environments such as harbour buildings, smaller boats, buoys, etc.

The marine antenna range are designed within Poynting’s customary requirements of high performance, wide bandwidth, and exceptional quality. The range covers LTE and 5G reception at sea, as well as antennas to provide dual-band Wi-Fi distribution at sea.

This might be a bold statement, but we do consider the new OMNI-293 and OMNI-493, the best omni-directional LTE/5G antennas out there. These antennas were designed for marine and terrestrial use to provide improved reception on the most popular LTE/5G cellular bands. Even though they cover a very wide band from 617 MHz to 3800 MHz (incl. the LTE Band 71 as well as the 3.5 GHz CBRS band), they were designed for superior pattern control across the entire frequency range, making them the most omni-directional omni’s around!

The exceptional omni-directional performance was achieved by the unique antenna design. Conventional antenna designs, such as an array of dipoles and other similar designs, do not provide the necessary characteristics for a wide impendence and gain bandwidth antenna, while demanding near ideal radiation patterns over the whole bandwidth. Poynting has achieved this performance by using an innovative technology whereby the impedance, gain and radiation patterns are harmonised over the entire frequency range, providing superior performance at all its frequency bands.

Although both antennas are electrically the same, the OMNI-493 is specifically designed for marine applications and the OMNI-293 is targeted at inland environments:

• The OMNI-293 is designed according to IP65 requirements to prevent water and dust ingress while installed outdoors. This antenna is UV and weather protected and aimed at commercial, industrial, residential, and urban implementation.

• The OMNI-493 is the marine version of the same antenna, boasting an IP68 protection rating against water, making this antenna ideal for the most severe storms at sea. This marine antenna is also fully salt water protected so that it can be used in highly corrosive environments, including chemical and toxic environments thanks to the UV stable ASA radome material. This antenna is marketed to support 617 to 2700 MHz for marine applications, but also supports the 3400 to 3800 MHz CBRS frequency band when used inland.

This video shows the 3D Pattern of the Poynting High performance linear marine & coastal antenna (OMNI-291) over the complete band.
The OMNI-291 is a unique new design with improved electrical performance and using a standard 1 inch marine mount. The ultra-wide band covers all contemporary LTE operating frequencies with excellent balanced gain across all frequencies. Higher frequencies are not compromised and the antenna design allows Poynting to have superior pattern control over the entire frequency range making the OMNI-291 a true high performance omni-directional antenna. Usable in all parts of the world, the OMNI-291 guarantees signal reception almost everywhere. Poynting Antennas achieves this through new antenna configuration using multiple dipoles and a unique (patented) feed network. The antenna is future proof as it covers the 450 MHz LTE frequency getting more an more popular in various regions and countries!

In this video we unbox the new smaller marine antennas - OMNI-403 and OMNI-404 from Poynting Antennas.

Poynting’s new OMNI-403 and OMNI-404 antennas are based on the very popular OMNI-291 marine antenna. The new antennas have a smaller profile radome which is specifically designed for adverse marine & coastal
environments. The two new omni-directional antennas do not replace the OMNI-291 but expand the range to offer more options to our customers, especially where implementation space is limited.

The antennas are designed for superior pattern control across the entire frequency range, making the OMNI-403 and OMNI-404 exceptional omni-directional antennas for their size and application. The antennas cover
the contemporary LTE/5G Ready bands from 698MHz to 2700MHz as well as the LTE/CBRS band from 3200 MHz to 3800 MHz.

Underground communication systems perform a vital role in the safety & productivity in mining and tunneling operations, where modern underground operations use communication systems to enable secure voice communications, to locate both people and machines, remote control of vehicles and systems, mining operations automation, as well as site access and security. A crucial component of the underground communication system is the antenna; a specialized antenna can improve the wireless connectivity in such an environment.

Poynting have a long history of designing and supplying specialist antennas specifically for mining and tunnel communication systems in mines. Poynting manufacture a complete WiFi and LTE range of antennas which are used in mines internationally. Of particular interest, is the circular polarised helical antenna range, called MinePoynt antennas. These antennas have gained significant popularity with our customers and have proven to substantially enhance RF propagation in these intense underground conditions, thereby complimenting the abilities of the connected LTE/WiFi/Mesh nodes and access point equipment.

Numerous customer tests in mines have been performed over the past 10 years showing MinePoynt antennas to achieve ranges 3x to 4x those obtained with a similar gain linear polarised antenna. Some initial tests in a South African coal mine demonstrated a person 1.2 km away from the access point fitted with a HELI-3 MinePoynt making perfect VoIP calls using a handheld WiFi phone. Customers reported numerous other tests done in SA gold mines and various Australian mines with similar performance.

We did some LTE speed tests on the Vodacom LTE Network in March 2013. We tested from our offices in Samrand using the HUAWEI E3276 modem. The first test was done with only the internal antennas of the router, then we connected one high gain Log P and thereafter another high gain Log P mounted horizontally. This gives the full MiMo effect.
Please note it was on the Vodacom trial network that uses limited spectrum. Speeds will increase significantly with full bandwidth LTE deployment. Relative variations in speed increase will be similar.

This is a video guide of how I installed the Poynting PUCK 2 antenna in our Swift motorhome, hiding the cables within the bathroom cupboard and presenting them neatly in the main cabin through a brushed outlet.
