The OMNI-493 is an ultra-wideband, high performance, omni-directional antenna that covers the contemporary 4G/LTE and future 5G operating frequencies with excellent balanced gain across all frequencies. The ultra-wideband performance from the antenna allows it to operate from 617 to 3800 MHz, with a peak gain of 9 dBi. This makes the antenna usable in all parts of the world and guarantees signal reception almost everywhere. The antenna design allows for superior pattern control over the entire frequency range, making the OMNI-493 a true high performance omni-directional antenna, suitable for marine and coastal applications. Poynting antennas achieves this performance through new antenna design, where multiple dipoles and a unique (patented) feed network is implemented. The antenna is future proof as it covers the up and coming 617 to 698 MHz band, as well as 3400 to 3800 MHz which will be utilized for future 5G applications.
