Overview

The ANT-LTE-WS-SMA is a dipole blade-style antenna designed for LTE, 4G, and LPWAN applications including NB-IoT and Cat-M1. It features a hinged, tilting design with an SMA male connector, providing wideband coverage from 698MHz to 2.7GHz with up to 5.8dBi peak gain.

Why Choose This Part

This antenna offers a high peak gain of 5.8dBi in the mid-band range and maintains a VSWR below 2.5 across its entire operating spectrum. Its rugged ABS housing and wideband performance eliminate the need for multiple antenna SKUs when supporting different regional cellular bands.

Applications

Cellular IoT Gateways
Ideal for NB-IoT and Cat-M1 industrial gateways requiring reliable connectivity across global LTE bands.
Remote Monitoring Systems
Provides a high-gain solution for fixed outdoor or indoor monitoring stations using 4G or 3G backhaul.
Vending and Kiosks
A robust external antenna for connected retail machines where the tilt mechanism allows for flexible positioning inside enclosures.
