Poynting's Log-Periodic Dipole Array (LPDA) have high gain, ultra-wideband, and uni-directional antennas are compatible with 4G, 3G and 2G frequencies (LPDA-92), as well as 5G, Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi 6E bands (LPDA-500).
These antennas can be used in extreme temperatures, and are successfully tested across the world.
LPDA-92
Poynting's Wideband Log-Periodic Dipole Array Antenna is a high-gain wideband directional antenna that can be coupled with a second matching antenna and dipole mount for 2x2 MIMO compatibility. The antenna is compatible with 4G, 3G and 2G frequencies, as well as some limited 5G support.
This antenna can be single mounted, or, as mentioned above, dual mounted for a 2x2 MIMO experience.
This weather-tested device is ideal for mast mounting.

LPDA-500
The LPDA-500 is Poynting's 5G Antenna. It has exceptional high gain performance over the entire frequency range. The ultra-wide band includes current 5G and future cellular bands including Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi 6E.
It comes with a new and improved mounting bracket that lets you rotate the antenna at 45 degree angles. It can be coupled with a second matching antenna that can be mounted vertically, horizontally or 45 degrees for a MIMO configuration.
It is weather-tested, just like the LPDA-92 and is ideal for mast mounting.

Cellular antennas can be a vital part of your signal enhancing strategy to get a better signal, and thus better cellular data performance. They come in many shapes, sizes and varieties.
They can be used directly connected to your mobile hotspots or cellular embedded routers, or they might connect to your cellular booster. They come in omni-directional vs directional, single vs MIMO, and might support different frequency bands. They come in combination antennas with Wi-Fi and GPS.
But most importantly, is your installation options on your RV or boat.
So before choosing an antenna, be sure to understand all of these variables - and keep in mind that there likely isn't a single 'one size fits all' solution here. You may need to make compromises, or even have speciality antennas for challenging signal areas.
We recommend starting with our Guide to Selecting Antennas, and then moving on to our other guides addressing related topics:
