Omni-directional network antenna Poynting PUCK-2-V2 SMA 6.5 dBi 0.6–6 GHz

The Poynting PUCK-2-V2 is an omni-directional network antenna in a compact, vandal-resistant enclosure that supports wideband cellular and common short-range protocols. With an SMA connector and linear polarization, it offers up to 6.5 dBi peak gain across 0.6–6 GHz, providing connectivity for 2G/3G/4G/5G networks as well as Wi‑Fi, LoRa and Bluetooth. The antenna is designed for vehicle, marine and fixed installations where a small-profile, high-performance antenna is required to improve mobile broadband and wireless LAN reception.

Advantages

The PUCK-2-V2 combines two high-performance antennas in one housing to deliver 2x2 MIMO for 5G and LTE, ensuring greater throughput and connection stability when both ports are connected. Ultra-wideband coverage from 617 to 6000 MHz keeps the antenna compatible with current and evolving cellular standards up to 6 GHz. The robust, vandal-resistant and waterproof (IP69K) enclosure and multiple mounting options make it suitable for harsh environments and a variety of installation scenarios.

Suitable for

• Vehicle installations (fleet, service vehicles)
• Marine vessels and offshore equipment
• IoT/M2M gateways and smart utility meters
• Agricultural and farming telemetry
• Fixed-site CPE and small business connectivity

When it may not be suitable

The PUCK-2-V2 is optimised for MIMO operation; for single-input single-output (SISO) applications or deployments that require a single narrowband antenna, other models in the PUCK range may be more appropriate. Installations that demand directional high-gain arrays for long-range point-to-point links should consider dedicated directional antennas instead.

Key specifications

• Frequency coverage: 617–6000 MHz (cellular wideband); overall range 0.6–6 GHz for supported standards
• Gain: up to 6.5 dBi (peak)
• Polarization: linear
• MIMO: 2x2 for 5G/LTE
• Connector: SMA (male)
• Ingress protection: IP69K (robust, vandal resistant, waterproof)
• Radiation pattern: omni-directional with optimised elevation pattern
• Mounting: versatile surface/vehicle/marine mounting options

How to use

Mount the antenna in a location with clear exposure to the sky and minimal obstructions to maximise cellular and Wi‑Fi reception; secure the unit using the appropriate mounting hardware for the chosen surface. Connect both SMA cables to the router or modem ports to enable 2x2 MIMO operation for best throughput. Use weatherproof routing for cables on external installations and follow the vehicle or vessel manufacturer’s guidelines for roof- or mast-mounted antennas.

What to consider before purchase

• Whether your application requires 2x2 MIMO or a single-input antenna
• Supported frequency bands for your operators and local regulations (coverage to 6 GHz)
• Mounting location and cable routing constraints on vehicle, vessel or site
• Connector compatibility (SMA male) with your router or modem
• Environmental resistance requirements (IP69K for harsh conditions)

Recommendations

For optimal performance of the Poynting PUCK-2-V2, connect both antenna ports to the router/modem to enable 2x2 MIMO, position the antenna with unobstructed sky view, and secure cable runs with suitable sealing and strain relief for marine or mobile environments.
