Antennas for 400 MHz and 450 MHz Private LTE

Utilities and critical networks run private LTE in the 400 MHz and 450 MHz bands, often called LTE450, for long range and good building penetration. Antennas for these bands are physically larger, and gain is lower at the bottom of the range, so check the datasheet for your band.

Building Your Own Device?

For devices with an integrated antenna, such as medical equipment and compact sensors, we work with a specialist design partner on antenna selection, simulation and measurement inside your own housing. A small enclosure is the hardest place for an antenna, so bring the antenna in early, before range tests and certification.

Which antenna do I need for my 4G or 5G router?

Start with the router: its frequency bands, the number of cellular ports and the connector type. Then look at the site. An omni antenna suits vehicles and areas with several masts; a directional antenna suits a fixed site at the edge of coverage. Match the antenna’s port count to the router and keep the cable short. Send us the router model and a photo of the site and we’ll match it.

Do I need a 4×4 MIMO antenna for a 5G router?

Yes, to get the speed the router is built for. A 5G router with four cellular ports uses four separate paths, and each one needs its own antenna element and cable. Connect only two and the router loses the other two paths and much of its throughput. A 4×4 MIMO antenna puts all four elements in one housing, so it is one mount and four cables.

Should I choose an omni or a directional antenna?

Omni for most jobs: it works in every direction, suits vehicles and areas with several masts, and needs no aiming. Choose directional when the site is fixed, the serving mast is known and the signal is weak, as at the edge of coverage. A directional antenna reaches further, but it has to be aimed at the mast and kept aimed.

How long can the antenna cable be?

As short as you can make it. Thin 5 mm coax loses about 0.6 dB per metre at 2.5 GHz, so a ten-metre run throws away roughly three-quarters of the signal. Use thicker low-loss cable for longer runs, or mount the router inside the antenna with a Poynting EPNT enclosure and run Ethernet down instead.

Which antennas cover 400 MHz and 450 MHz private LTE?

Private LTE in the 400 MHz and 450 MHz bands needs antennas built for those low frequencies. The Poynting OMNI-600 and PANL-401 cover from 410 MHz, with lower gain at that band than higher up, and Panorama offers a dedicated 450 MHz range to order. Check the gain at your band on the datasheet, or send us the frequencies and we’ll match the antenna.

Can TITAN help design an antenna into our own product?

Yes. For devices with an integrated antenna, such as medical equipment and compact sensors, we work with a specialist design partner on antenna selection, simulation and measurement inside your own housing. A small enclosure is the hardest place for an antenna, so bringing antenna design in early avoids failed range tests and certification delays later. Contact us with your device and the bands it needs.
