In simple terms the Poynting XPOL omni-directional 2x2 MIMO antenna* is 'THE' boaters mobile broadband antenna.

Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) is a wireless communication technology that uses multiple transmitter and receiver antennas to increase the capacity of a radio link*.

The V2 antenna has been completely redesigned from the previous generation with an all new enclosure and antenna design. The antenna now includes the newer 3400 - 3800 MHz bands as well as the in demand lower 698 MHz band, which were not previously covered by their V1 and is suitable for 2G, 3G, 4G & 5G. This antenna performs exceptionally well in the following frequency bands: 698 – 960 MHz, 1700 –2700 MHz & 3400 – 3800 MHz, with a peak gain of 3 dBi across the frequency bands of operation.

Our team use this antenna for reliable, fast internet access almost anywhere, Netflix, Amazon Prime, iPlayer, NowTV etc  are all watchable without buffering (please remember mobile internet performance is dependent on a number of factors such as mobile provider network, antenna and router quality, as well as antenna siting and wifi setup.) We can offer our personal experience advice on such matters if required. You can also read the excellent Poynting resources on such matters, links are included below.

The radiation patterns of this antenna are omni-directional and exceptionally well controlled, further adding to the performance of the antenna. This makes the antenna perfect for most application areas, such as urban and commercial to achieve the best possible coverage over a large area. The robust mechanical enclosure design makes the antenna weather, dust and vandal resistant and gives it an IP65 rating, suitable for harsh environments.

Mounting bracket: Pole/Wall mounting bracket and window suckers included.

Why use an outdoor antenna?

Why does my mobile phone perform better than my LTE router?

*You will require a 2x2 MIMO compatible router to use with this antenna, such as the Teltonika RUT240 / 241, RUT950 / 951.
