Description

The Proxicast Fiberglass Antenna (ANT-127-002) is a unidirectional, high-gain antenna perfect for long-range Wi-Fi and wireless communication applications. Its robust fiberglass construction ensures durability and resistance to harsh weather conditions, making it suitable for outdoor installations. The antenna features a narrow beamwidth for focused signal transmission, reducing interference while increasing signal strength and reliability.

General Description

Proxicast's 26 inch easy-to-install permanent mount omni-directional antenna improves transmit and receive signals for all 3G and 4G/LTE, xLTE, AWS frequencies on Verizon, AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, US Cellular, Bell Mobility, Rogers, Telus, Sasktel, Telcel, Movistar, Digicel and many other cellular operators worldwide.
This antenna is also suitable for unlicensed 900 MHz (ISM) radio applications and 2.4 GHz WiFi / ISM band. It also covers the GPS frequency (1575 MHz) and can be used as a passive GPS antenna or as a multiplexed cellular + GPS antenna.
The omni-directional design provides high gain without the cellular tower location and alignment hassles of directional antennas. Its gloss white finish blends into any environment and makes it ideal for many outdoor applications, including building rooftops, utility poles, surveillance trailers, well sites, remote telemetry units, meters, homes and offices.
With the appropriate adapter cable (not included), this antenna is compatible with USB cellular modems and Mi-Fi Hotspots, external 3G/4G cellular modems, routers and signal amplifiers from companies such as
CalAmp, Cisco, Cradlepoint, Digi, MoFi, Netgear, Novatel, Pepwave, Proxicast, Sierra Wireless, SureCall, weBoost/Wilson and ZTE. For MIMO applications use 2 identical antennas. Proxicast’s XBOOM Cross-Over Bracket (ANT-800-XB1) makes it easy to mount 2 antennas on a single vertical mast.
