Omni-directional antenna Poynting OMNI-0293, N-type connector, 8 dBi, 0.617–6 GHz, 635 mm height

Poynting OMNI-0293 is an ultra-wideband omni-directional antenna offering continuous coverage from 0.617 to 6.0 GHz with a peak gain of 8 dBi. The antenna uses an N-type female connector and has a compact, rugged grey radome measuring 635 mm in height and 71 mm in diameter, weighing approximately 410 g. Designed for both indoor and outdoor installations, the OMNI-0293 supports cellular and broadband applications including 2G/3G/4G/LTE and emerging 5G bands, as well as Wi‑Fi standards such as 802.11g/n/ac/ax where uniform 360° radiation is required.

Advantages

The OMNI-0293 provides wide frequency coverage and consistent radiation pattern control across its band, enabling stable signal reception in urban and rural environments. Its 8 dBi peak gain improves link reliability and extends usable range without complex alignment. The antenna’s durable enclosure and N-type connector simplify integration with standard coaxial cable assemblies and mounting hardware for permanent outdoor or temporary indoor deployments.

Suitable for

• Cellular coverage extension for 2G/3G/4G and 5G sub‑bands
• Outdoor and indoor broadband access points and routers
• Machine-to-Machine (M2M) and IoT connectivity
• Sites with poor or inconsistent mobile reception
• Wireless networks requiring uniform 360° coverage

Key specifications

• Polarisation: vertical (typical for omni antennas)
• Connector type: N-type female
• Height: 635 mm; Diameter: 71 mm
• Weight: approx. 410 g
• Radiation pattern: omni-directional, 360° azimuth coverage
• Enclosure: weather-resistant radome suitable for outdoor use

How to use

Mount the OMNI-0293 on a mast, pole or fixed bracket at the required height to achieve clear line-of-sight where possible. Connect to your router, gateway or radio using an appropriate coaxial cable terminated to the antenna’s N-type female connector and the equipment’s connector type. Ensure cable lengths and losses are compatible with your system requirements. Positioning the antenna centrally relative to the coverage area provides the most even 360° distribution.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, install the antenna vertically and clear of large obstructions. Use low-loss coaxial cable and properly rated outdoor connectors for long cable runs. When deploying for cellular or 5G sub-bands, verify local band allocations and antenna placement to meet regulatory and network operator guidelines.
