Embedded Antenna Design Ltd (EAD) has announced an innovative 4G Multiband (4G/LTE/3G/GSM/Cellular) outdoor MIMO omni antenna for enclosure, wall and pole-mounting. Housed in a durable radome, the LMO7270 antenna is suitable for outdoor applications including leisure marine environments to improve reception of 4G (LTE), 3G and GSM signals.

LMO7270 4G Multiband MIMO Omni Antenna

The frequencies supported are 700, 800, 900, 1800, 1900, 2100 and 2600 MHz covering all major 4G, LTE, GSM and 3G frequency bands.

The LMO7270 measures approximately 187mm in height and 106mm at the base. It will be available with or without the wall/pole mount bracket and fed by two short pigtail cables, allowing for longer jumper cables to be connected for specific cable runs. The peak gain on each element is as follows:

Antenna Element 1
Frequency Peak Gain
700-800 MHz 1.4 dBi
800-960 MHz 2.0 dBi
1710-2170 MHz 3.0 dBi
2500-2700 MHz 3.3 dBi

Antenna Element 2
Frequency Peak Gain
700-800 MHz 2.8 dBi
800-960 MHz 3.0 dBi
1710-2170 MHz 3.9 dBi
2500-2700 MHz 3.9 dBi

The LMO7270 antenna is supplied with a gasket and a moulded nut as standard so the antenna can be installed as a permanent, through-hole mount solution to be mounted onto a non-metal surface or enclosure. Alternatively, the antenna can be ordered to include brackets for wall or pole mount.

The LMO7270 is just one of a comprehensive range of 4G, LTE, GSM, 3G and cellular antenna products available from EAD.

EAD is pleased to introduce the PST2100 antenna – a pentaband – cellular, GSM and 3G – stub antenna with SMA-Male Straight or Right-Angle connector options.

Ideal for small multiband terminals, either fixed or portable, the PST2100 has a moulded sheath and is approximately 76mm in overall length.

You can find details and a datasheet on the PST2100 product page.

The PST2100 is shipping now.

A new high gain omni antenna from EAD supporting European 4G/LTE, 3G and 2G services has been announced. The FGO antenna from EAD is designed for outdoor access applications where a high gain antenna is required.

FGO High Gain Omni Antenna

Housed in a fibreglass sheath, the FGO is ideal for applications using 4G networks whilst supporting 3G and 2G frequencies should fall back from 4G be required. Offering a minimum of 4 dBi/5 dBi /4 dBi gain on the lower, middle and upper bands respectively, the antenna can be pole-mounted or wall-mounted and is ideal for applications such as CCTV, security and broadband access. The FGO antenna is terminated in a N-Female connectors. Jumper cables can be customised to order.

The FGO antenna is shipping now.

EAD is pleased to announce the released of the LPP7270, a high gain, directional, outdoor panel antenna covering worldwide LTE, 4G, 3G and GSM frequencies. Housed in a compact, weatherproof radome measuring 260x260x60mm, the LPP7270 offers 7-9 dBi gain across all the bands with a VSWR of less than 1.5:1.

This antenna is terminated in a N-Female connector and requires a jumper cable with N-Male connector.

LPP7270 4G/LTE Multiband Panel Antenna

The mounting bracket is included with the antenna as standard.

This antenna is suitable for providing access to 4G/LTE networks as well as supporting fallback to 3G and 2G GSM services.

EAD is pleased to introduce a new multi-band, groundplane independent internal antenna optimised for 2G, 3G, and 4G/LTE frequencies. With compact dimensions of 110x21mm (length by width) and thickness of 1.6mm, the SQ7 antenna is typically used internally in a communications product such as an access device, router or fixed or mobile terminal. Supporting worldwide 4G/LTE frequency bands including 700 MHz for North America and 800/2600 MHz for Europe, it is a versatile solution for wireless products.

SQ7 Internal PCB Antenna for 2G, 3G, 4G and LTE

The SQ7 offers a typical gain of 1.5 dBi across the bands with a maximum VSWR of just over 2:1. As it has its own groundplane, this antenna can operate without the need for additional proximity groundplane, but will need some keep away space inside terminals to ensure it radiates effectively. The SQ7 can be specified with a range of cable/connector configutations including U.FL, SMA, MMCX, GSC and more.

Further information on the SQ7 can be found on the product page.

The CPO-3GL is a low profile puck antenna operating in the frequency bands 1710-2700 MHz covering 1800 MHz GSM, 1900 MHz, 2100 MHz 3G and 2600 MHz 4G/LTE. Housed in a robust radome, the CPO-3GL is a screw or permanent mount antenna ideal for telemetry, security, CCTV and numerous other M2M (machine to machine) applications.

CPO-3GL

Offering gain across the bands of 3 dBi, the CPO-3GL offers a high performance solution for EURO 4G (or LTE) applications with fall-back to 3G and 1800 MHz GSM if required. Once mounted correctly, the CPO-3GL is waterpoof and suitable for outdoor deployment. It can be customised with cable and connector configuration as required and is typically terminated with SMA, MMCX, or FME connectors. It can also be terminated with CRC9 or TS9 connectors if required.
