Find the right Poynting antenna

Four questions, then the models that fit. Stocked models show a live price; the others are available on request.

1. Where will the antenna go?
2. What does it need to carry?
3. How many cellular antenna ports does your router have?
4. Do you know where the nearest mast is?

About Poynting

Poynting started in 1996 as POYNTING Innovations at the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, with POYNTING Antennas established in 2001. The company, led by founder and Group CEO Dr Andre Fourie, holds 12 registered patent families (26 patents) and 41 registered designs, and has group companies in Europe and the USA.

Its speciality is wideband, multi-element antennas: one housing that covers the low 4G bands up to 5G, often with Wi-Fi and GPS alongside, so a single install serves the whole router.

What to expect from a Poynting antenna

  • Wideband coverage, typically from the 600 to 700 MHz bands up to 3.8 GHz or beyond
  • Cross-polarised MIMO elements in one housing
  • Multi-in-one models with cellular, Wi-Fi and GPS together
  • Rugged housings, with IP67 to IP69K ratings on transport and marine models

Learn: getting the best from an antenna

Position beats height

The best spot is the one with the strongest, most stable signal, which is not always the highest. If a building blocks the mast, move sideways before you move up. Try several spots, including unlikely ones, with the router or a phone on the same network.

Aim it properly

For a directional antenna, turn it in roughly 45 degree steps through a full circle, waiting about 10 seconds at each step for the readings to settle. Pick the best two directions, at least 90 degrees apart, and speed test both.

Read the right numbers

On 4G and 5G, judge by RSRP (signal strength), RSRQ (quality) and SINR (signal over noise), not by bars. A better SINR usually means more speed, even when RSRP barely moves.

Keep cables short

Every metre of coax loses signal, more at 5G frequencies. A modest extension to reach a better spot is usually worth it; long runs are not. Move the router to the antenna and run Ethernet back instead.

Poynting questions

Can you supply Poynting antennas that are not in your shop?

Yes. We stock the models listed with prices on this page and can quote for the wider Poynting range. Send the model code, or tell us the router and site, using the form on this page.

Which Poynting antenna is best for a weak rural signal?

Usually a directional cross-polarised antenna such as the XPOL-2-5G (2x2) or XPOL-24 (4x4), aimed at the mast. Where you cannot see the mast or the direction is unknown, an omni such as the 5G-XPOL-1 is easier. Use the selector above, or ask us.

What does cross-polarised mean?

Each antenna contains two elements at different angles. MIMO routers use both at once, so a cross-polarised antenna gives each modem port its own signal path and makes MIMO work properly from a single housing.

How many antenna cables do I need?

One per cellular port on your router: two for 2x2 MIMO, four for 4x4 MIMO. Multi-in-one antennas add separate Wi-Fi and GPS leads for routers with those ports.

Will a Poynting antenna fit my router?

Most Poynting cellular antennas use SMA male connectors, which fit the majority of 4G and 5G routers, including Teltonika and Milesight. A few models use N-type connectors and need an adapter cable. We will check before you order.
