Poynting XPOL-24 Outdoor 4G LTE/5G 11dBi Cross-Polarised Uni-Directional Antenna

The Poynting XPOL-24 Outdoor 4G LTE/5G 11dBi Cross-Polarised Uni-Directional Antenna is Poynting’s first uni-directional 4×4 MIMO 5G/LTE bands antenna, with exceptional performance.

This is due to the incorporation of advanced metamaterial technology, making use of an Artificial Magnetic Conductor (AMC) and new registered/patent configuration, which has proven to yield exceptional improvements in bandwidth and gain.

The radiation patterns of this antenna are exceptionally well controlled, which further adds to exceptional performance of the antenna.

The XPOL-24 offers wideband frequency coverage from 617 to 4200 MHz, with a peak gain of 11dBi across the bands of operation.

The antenna performs exceptionally well in the following frequency bands: 617 – 960 MHz, 1710 – 2170 MHz, 2300 – 2700 MHz and 3400 – 4200 MHz.

The exceptional wideband performance is an important factor for 5G/LTE technologies, as these technologies rely on features such as Carrier Aggregation (CA) to provide the best possible reception and throughput over multiple frequency bands simultaneously.

This makes the XPOL-24 the go-to solution for current and future 5G/LTE antenna deployments.

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.
