The new four-port, slant-polarized antenna produces true OMNI performance in a small form factor package. This 27" OMNI antenna limits the tower footprint and gives 360-degree coverage with 13dBi pre-beamforming antenna gain, making it excellent for micro-pop deployments. It also optimises 4x4 MU-MIMO’s full abilities with the Cambium ePMP3000, employing the antenna’s two overlapping bidirectional dipole-like pattern. These patterns give high gain to maximise coverage area and low side lobes to enhance isolation between MIMO chains.

This new antenna comprises a Cambium ePMP3000 radio mount with an aluminium cover that shields the radio and cables from the environment. Also incorporated are 4 x Reverse Polarity SMA to N-Male LMR 195 6" cables. Depending on the radio and terrain, operators can anticipate coverage to span within two to five miles of the antenna. This antenna stands up to the toughest elements with a UV-resistant PVC radome and robust hardware.

“Our new four-port OMNI antenna is stand out product with a small form factor design, optimised for the Cambium Networks ePMP3000 access point to provide a cost-effective, high gain, single antenna solution for small cell and macro deployments,” said Ken Izatt, antenna product line manager.
