Omni-directional network antenna Poynting A-PUCK-0012-V2-01-W, 5.5 dBi, 2.4–6 GHz, weatherproof, white

Poynting A-PUCK-0012-V2-01-W is an omni-directional network antenna designed for compact installations that require broad Wi‑Fi coverage and reliable multi-antenna performance. With a peak gain of up to 5.5 dBi over the 2.4–6 GHz range, the antenna supports 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz and 6 GHz bands and is compatible with 802.11n/ac/ax/be standards. The PUCK-12 is built as a 2-in-1, 2x2 MIMO antenna housed in a small, weatherproof white enclosure intended for outdoor, industrial, vehicular and space-constrained deployments.

Advantages

The antenna combines omnidirectional radiation with pattern diversity to provide stable signal distribution in all azimuth directions while supporting MIMO configurations for increased throughput and resilience. Its compact form factor and multiple mounting options simplify integration into roofs, poles or equipment housings. The enclosure is rated for harsh environments, offering vandal resistance and weatherproofing suitable for continuous outdoor operation.

Suitable for

• Outdoor and indoor Wi‑Fi 6E and Wi‑Fi 7 coverage
• MIMO Wi‑Fi installations in compact or mobile systems (2x2)
• Industrial telemetry, IoT/M2M and smart utilities monitoring
• Transportation and vehicular Wi‑Fi installations
• Marine and agricultural remote connectivity

How to use

Position the antenna in a location with minimal large obstructions to maximize omni-directional coverage and attach it using the appropriate mounting accessory for roofs, poles or equipment cabinets. Connect each antenna feed to the corresponding 2x2 MIMO radio ports following the radio manufacturer’s cabling and grounding instructions. For vehicular installations ensure the mounting point provides a secure mechanical and electrical ground where required. Verify radio configuration for the supported 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz and 6 GHz bands and perform site testing to confirm coverage and MIMO performance.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, install the antenna at a clear elevated position and maintain recommended cable lengths and quality for the chosen frequency bands. Use weatherproof connectors and appropriate surge protection in exposed outdoor or vehicular deployments. When used in MIMO systems, ensure correct feed mapping and radio configuration to realize the intended throughput and reliability benefits.
