Which Poynting antenna will be best and why?

Which Poynting antenna to choose?

Poynting antennas, regardless of series, have several features in common. Each of them is thoroughly tested in reputable centers, so we can have confidence in both the manufacturer's declared parameters and their repeatability. What's more, Poynting antennas are prepared for various forms of mounting and at the same time provide high resistance to both weather conditions (at IP68 level) and mechanical damage (IK 10).

PUCK Series is a solution for financially efficient people who, for physical or aesthetic reasons (e.g., the vehicle roof is too small), cannot or do not want to install a larger device. These antennas are only 10 cm in diameter and only 3.6 cm high. Such compact size does not mean poor performance. These devices easily distance competitors of similar size. Have 2 cellular antennas and two WiFI antennas. These antennas support the 617-4200 MHz frequency range without any problems. They are the optimal choice in cities and suburbs.

If we have the opportunity to mount a larger antenna it is worth leaning towards the series MIMO-3. It is shaped like a flipper and takes up a lot of space, but has longer range, increased connection stability and higher throughput. Have 2 or 4 cellular antennas suitable for 5g and two WiFi. Supports 410-3800 MHz frequencies. It also performs particularly well on the lower bands (698-960 MHz). Will definitely be a better choice in more desolate areas where it is more difficult to get a high-quality signal, including coastal shipping. An intermediate model in terms of size is MIMO-4. In shape similar to PUCK antennas (also round, with a diameter of 16 cm). Have 2 or 4 cellular antennas suitable for 5g and two WiFi. It is distinguished by the range of supported bands - 617-7200 MHz. P

Basic information about the aforementioned series is collected in this graphic:

What's important besides the series?

Once we know what series will best suit our preferences we should consider how many and what kind of outputs we need. Here, within the series, there is also quite a selection. Even in the cheapest PUCK series antennas there is plenty to choose from. From the simplest PUCK 1 with only one GSM output, by PUCK 8, which adds WiFi output after PUCK 5 with two GSM, two WiFi and one GPS outputs. The situation is similar for MIMO-3 and MIMO-4 antennas. There are models such as MIMO-3 12 with two GSM outputs, or MIMO-4x4 with four of these, but also much more elaborate models such as: MIMO-3 17 with 4 GSM outputs, two WiFi and 1 GPS a MIMO-4 19 with as many as 9 outputs - 4 GSM, 4 WiFi and 1 GPS. This shows that these antennas can be used in very different cases.

So what to choose and when?

To sum up, Poynting's range of antennas is very wide. Whether we need an antenna for a city bus or for an RV that we will travel through less populated areas, we can find an antenna that will fit our needs. Moreover, unlike many other, less reputable manufacturers, Poynting has thoroughly tested its products and you can indeed expect the kind of performance it declares. So you can enjoy a stable Internet connection whether you are on a crowded city bus, a river streetcar, or vacationing in an RV in some desolate area.
