Omni-directional Antenna Poynting A-OMNI-0297-V1-01 5G LTE SMA Male 2 dBi

Poynting A-OMNI-0297-V1-01 is an omni-directional antenna designed for 5G and LTE applications. With an SMA male connector and 2 dBi nominal gain, it extends cellular signal coverage for routers, modems and gateways. The antenna’s compact form factor and simple mounting options make it suitable for indoor and sheltered outdoor installations where improved reception across multiple cellular bands is required.

Advantages

The antenna provides consistent 360-degree coverage, helping to reduce dead zones and stabilise connection quality for devices that rely on cellular networks. Its low-profile design and lightweight construction simplify placement on walls, poles or equipment housings. An SMA male connector allows direct attachment to many consumer and industrial routers without additional adapters, enabling quick setup and minimal cable loss at the connection point.

Suitable for

• Home and small office 4G/5G routers and gateways
• Industrial modems and cellular IoT gateways
• RV, caravan and mobile internet installations
• Remote sites requiring enhanced cellular reception
• Temporary network deployments and field testing

Key specifications

• Type: Omni-directional cellular antenna
• Frequency support: 5G and LTE bands (multi-band cellular coverage)
• Connector: SMA male
• Gain: 2 dBi (nominal)
• Mounting: compact, wall or pole mounting options suitable for sheltered locations
• Form factor: low-profile, lightweight

How to use

Choose a mounting location with a clear line of sight to the nearest cellular towers if possible, and away from large metal obstructions. Secure the antenna using the provided mounting hardware or an appropriate clamp, and connect it to the router, modem or gateway’s external antenna port with the SMA male connector. After installation, perform a signal check on your device and adjust the antenna position to achieve the best reception metrics. For indoor use, position the antenna near windows or elevated points to improve line-of-sight to base stations.

Recommendations

Use weather-protected mounting positions and basic cable management to minimise strain on the SMA connector. For outdoor exposure, employ additional waterproofing at the connector junction and choose sheltered mounting points to extend service life. If higher gain or directional coverage is required for distant towers, consider a dedicated directional antenna instead.
