The LCO7270 is a groundplane independent 4G LTE compact outdoor omni antenna covering 690-2700 MHz i.e. 4G, LTE, 3G and GSM/Cellular frequencies. Housed in a weatherproof Luran sheath, with a passivated aluminium base, the LCO7270 is groundplane independent therefore it doesn’t need a metal surface to operate effectively. With gain of 2 dBi across the bands, the radiation pattern is omni-directional making it suitable for both fixed and mobile applications. Unlike other compact omni antennas that require a groundplane, the LCO7270’s ability to be mounted in free space, or on non-metal surfaces and enclosures is a tangible advantage. The 4G LTE compact outdoor omni antenna can be fitted with a number of connectors including N-Female Bulkhead (for stud-mounting, TNC-Female bulkhead (for stud mounting where a smaller mounting hole is required or where there is less real estate inside the enclosure), N-Male, TNC-Male, RP-TNC, SMA and RP-SMA. There is also an option for a wall-mount version using a stainless steel L-Bracket called the LCO7270-WMB.

The CMO is a 4G LTE MIMO puck antenna ideal for LTE applications requiring a low profile MIMO antenna for 4G and LTE fixed and mobile applications. The CMO is 4G LTE MIMO puck antenna operating at 4G/LTE multiband frequencies from 690-2700 MHz. A permanent, through-hole mount antenna, the CMO has two 4G/LTE/Multiband elements enabling MIMO operation in discreet, robust housing. With peak gain ranging across the bands from 1 dBi to 3.5 dBi, the CMO offers an effective solution for mobile 4G and LTE MIMO applications offering support for 3G and GPRS services if required. The CMO mounts via a threaded stud and is held in place by a robust locking nut. In conjunction with the gasket underneath, a waterproof seal against a flat mounting surface can be formed ensuring that the antenna is suited to continuous outdoor deployment. The CMO antenna operates most effectively if it is mounted onto a metal surface, enclosure or bracket. The mounting hole size is 20mm. Supplied as standard with 2 x RG174 cables, the antenna can be customised with a number of connectors including SMA, TS9, FME, TNC, CRC9.
