Omni-directional antenna Poynting PUCK-3-V2 21 dBi SMA 0.617-6 GHz

The Poynting PUCK-3-V2 omni-directional antenna is a compact, multi-band antenna designed for reliable wireless connectivity across 0.617–6.0 GHz. Housed in a small, weather-resistant enclosure, the PUCK-3-V2 integrates cellular (2G/3G/4G/5G), dual-band Wi‑Fi (2.4/5/6 GHz) and high-precision GPS/GLONASS reception in a single unit. The antenna includes a male SMA connector and operates with an input voltage of 2.7–5 V, offering a 21 dBi gain for improved link performance in IoT, M2M, smart utilities, transportation, marine and agricultural deployments.

Advantages

The PUCK-3-V2 provides ultra-wideband cellular coverage (617–6000 MHz) in a single SISO element, ensuring compatibility with current and evolving networks up to 6 GHz. It supports dual-band SISO Wi‑Fi across 2.4, 5 and 6 GHz, and incorporates an active GPS/GLONASS element with operation to -40°C for accurate positioning. Optimised radiation patterns deliver a reliable omnidirectional footprint with pattern diversity suited to elevated and rooftop installations. Its compact, versatile design simplifies integration across multiple industries while maintaining high performance.
