Poynting’s new PUCK range offers a small profile antenna for use in the IoT/M2M, Smart Meter, Smart Utilities, Transportation, Marine, and Agricultural/Farming markets. The PUCK-3 consists of a 3-in-1 antenna system within a single housing, featuring SISO 5G, SISO Wi-Fi, and GPS/GLONASS. The Cellular antenna (for 2G/3G/4G and 5G) offers 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 antenna 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 a dual-band Wi-Fi antenna offering concurrent 2.4GHz, 5GHz and 6GHz bands, capable of 802.11n and 802.11ac/ax/be.
The third 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.
