Directional antenna Poynting XPOL-2-5G 11 dBi SMA 0.617 - 4.2 GHz

The Poynting XPOL-2-5G is a directional cross-polarised 2×2 MIMO antenna designed for cellular networks, covering key mobile frequency ranges from 0.617 to 4.2 GHz. Housed in a white enclosure with an SMA connector, this third-generation (V3) model uses advanced metamaterial elements and a patent-pending radiator layout to improve bandwidth, gain and pattern control compared with the previous generation.

Advantages

The XPOL-2-5G adds support for the 3400–3800 MHz range and delivers approximately 3 dB higher gain in portions of the 1700 MHz and 2.7 GHz bands versus the V2 model. Radiation patterns are tightly controlled, yielding improved directional performance and reliable signal reception across 2G, 3G, 4G and 5G services. The antenna is CE and RoHS compliant and comes in a compact, weather-resistant white housing.

Suitable for

• Improving cellular reception for fixed outdoor installations
• 2×2 MIMO deployments for 4G and 5G base stations or CPE
• Applications requiring wide frequency coverage from 698 MHz to 3800 MHz
• Directional links where higher gain (up to 11 dBi) and controlled patterns are needed

Key specifications

• Frequency band: 0.617 – 4.2 GHz (notably covers 698–960, 1700–2170, 2300–2700, 3400–3800 MHz)
• Gain (max): 11 dBi
• Polarisation: Cross-polarised, 2×2 MIMO
• Connector: SMA
• Colour: White
• Compliance: CE, RoHS

How to use

Mount the antenna in a clear line-of-sight direction toward the desired cell site or signal source to maximise directional gain. Use the SMA connector to attach to compatible routers, modems or radio equipment that support external antennas and 2×2 MIMO. Adjust orientation and elevation during installation to optimise signal strength and throughput; secure all mounts and weatherproof any cable connections for outdoor use.

Recommendations

For best results, place the XPOL-2-5G outdoors at an elevated position with minimal obstructions and align it toward the target cell tower. Verify compatibility with your device’s antenna ports and follow local mounting and grounding regulations. When deploying for 5G bands (3400–3800 MHz), perform site measurements to confirm optimal pointing and to take advantage of the antenna’s improved gain and pattern control.
