The Poynting 7-in-1 Roof antenna from the MIMO 3 series has been a popular pairing with our Pepwave products for many years. This antenna will provide 4x4 cellular, 2xWiFi and 1xGPS to the roof of your RV. The antenna includes an 82.5'' or 6.8ft cable with the appropriate fittings to fit Cradlepoint, Peplink/Pepwave, and other devices that have dual cellular modems. Shorter cables mean less cable loss and better cable reception. RP-SMA adapters are included for the WiFi cables to connect
This antenna is specifically designed for the transportation and marine industry and does not require a grounding plate to function. Adding a ground plane can improve signal by 1-2db in certain situations but is not required. The 4x Cellular MIMO antennas cover the contemporary 690MHz to 2700MHz cellular spectrum, as well as the new emerging LTE and 5G spectrum for 450MHz and 3.5GHz CBRS bands, which are becoming popular for LTE. This antenna, due to its wideband capabilities, can be used across different operators and technologies and is ready for future cellular technologies such as 5G up to 3.8GHz. This antenna does not support 600Mhz Band 71.
This antenna supports 2.4 and 5.8ghz WiFi and supports higher spectrum WiFi as well for future proof installations. Additional specifications are located on the documentation tab.
Omni-Directional Antenna
This antenna is an omni-directional antenna. Omni-directional antennas are designed to pick up signals in a 360-degree pattern around the antenna and do not require that they be aimed or pointed at the cellular or WIFI broadcasting tower. Omni-directional antennas offer a blend of performance and ease of use over directional antennas that may have higher performance and gain specifications. Omni-directional antennas also perform well if a customer is utilizing multiple cellular or WIFI connections that may be broadcasting in different directions, for example if a customer has data plans from multiple cellular providers and cell towers are in different directions. Omni-directional antennas are the preferred style of antenna for mobile travelers and those who change their location and method of connecting to the internet frequently as they offer solid performance without the need to point the antenna.
Directional antennas may be better suited than omni-directional antennas for customers with fixed locations such as rural home or business customers.
Ground Plane Optional
The antennas on this page do not require a ground plane, but adding one will typically improve performance if your installation will allow it. Ground planes are metal sheets of metal (typically aluminum or galvanized steel) that the antenna mounts on top of. For optimal performance a ground plane of a minimum of 16" in diameter is typically recommended. The ground plane does not need to be grounded or wired to the chassis ground of the vehicle, the metal sheet simply helps the cellular and WiFi signals bounce into the antenna optimizing performance. Ground planes are available in various sizes on our store including a flexible adhesive ground plane or a 16 inch aluminum ground plane. For more information on ground planes visit the Ground Plane Guide on Mobile Internet Resource Center.
Which Roof Antenna is Right For You?
We have a variety of choices for roof antennas based on your particular installation need. In general, higher priced antennas have better performance and are future proofed for newer technology such as Nationwide 5G, making upgrades down the road easier. Higher performance antennas may be larger, so size and installation requirements is a consideration. We offer a variety of options for customers with unique installation requirements, mounting requirements, brand or budget preference. We have put together our 7-in-1 Antenna Comparison Chart to help aid in your decision as well as a video outlining some top choices. Still not sure?

FirstNet Ready
This device is FirstNet Ready! FirstNet is the nationwide public safety communications platform dedicated to America's first responders. Being built with AT&T, in public-private partnership with the FirstNet Authority, FirstNet utilizes Band-14, which is reserved for public safety but is also being marketed as available to the public for additional bandwidth capacity. In testing Band-14 has been made available during non-emergency situations to the public to provide additional bandwidth and coverages to customers who have a modem that supports FirstNet's Band-14. Not all modems that support Band-14 are "FirstNet Certified" however they typically can connect to Band-14 in most areas. Information on FirstNet certifications can be found on Specification sheets located on the Documentation Tab. Additional information about FirstNet's use and technology can be found in this article from our friends at the RV Mobile Internet Resource Center.
