Poynting XPOL-2-5G Outdoor 11dBi 2×2 MIMO Cross Polarised Directional Panel Antenna

The Poynting XPOL-2-5G Outdoor 4G/5G LTE 11dBi Cross Polarised Directional Panel Antenna is Poynting’s third generation “V3” of this Cross Polarised (XPOL), cellular band, 2×2 MIMO antenna.

The antenna enclosure effectively looks the same as the second generation “V2”, but has been completely redesigned on the inside.

Poynting have used advanced metamaterial technology, making use of Artificial Magnetic Conductors (AMC) and new registered/patent pending radiator configuration, which is proving to yield exceptional improvements in bandwidth and gain.

Radiation patterns of this antenna are exceptionally well controlled, further adding to the performance of the antenna.

Connection that stays with you

Insert a 5G/4G LTE SIM card (not included) and immediately have access to 5G download speeds of up to 1.6 Gbps at your home or business, or even while taking the camper van out into the countryside.

Thanks to 5G technology you can enjoy HD movies in seconds, download huge files immediately, play multiplayer games without lag, and enjoy video calls without interruption – making it the perfect companion whether at home or away.

Perfect for areas with limited access to fixed internet

The DWR-978 router is the complete solution for those hard-to-read areas where fixed-line ISPs (Internet Service Providers) are unreliable or unavailable.

Insert your 5G SIM card (not included) and allow your network and all of your devices to be powered by 5G cellular data. With two (2) high-performance external antennas, you can be sure that the DWR-978 router will deliver the strongest connectivity possible on multiple devices at the same time – allowing you to stream, game or work, without worrying about buffering, dropouts, or interference.

Your internet will never fail you again

Disruptions can happen at any time, but D-Link has built the DWR-978 router to eliminate them altogether with D-Link Failover technology.

When your 5G/LTE cellular provider is having technical difficulties, the DWR-978 router will jump into action by switching to the internet via your fixed-line (Fibre/Cable/DSL), so you can keep working, playing or watching as normal.

Cut down on dead spots and loading times

Two (2) high-performance antennas deliver WiFi speeds of up to 2.6 Gbps throughout every corner of your home, making it easy for you to stay connected at the highest speeds possible despite any structural interference.

The DWR-978 router’s MU-MIMO technology ensures multiple devices get high-bandwidth WiFi at the same time, distributing data more efficiently and giving you faster WiFi speeds throughout your home.

Manage your network, your way

Whether you need to give a friend quick access, or get the kids to do their homework, the DWR-978 router comes with WiFi scheduling – so you’re always in change.
