Directional Cellular Antenna
The L14-8-26-NF2 is a directional panel antenna for fixed cellular installations using compatible 3G UMTS, 4G LTE, and 5G NR equipment. It covers the 800–2600 MHz range, allowing one antenna to support the listed cellular technologies across several frequency bands. Gain varies by band, reaching 10 dBi at 800–900 MHz and 14 dBi at 1800–2600 MHz. This frequency-dependent performance helps the antenna provide focused signal reception and transmission across both lower and higher parts of its operating range. The directional panel design is intended for installations where the serving base station can be identified and the antenna can be aimed accurately toward it.
A 2x2 MIMO configuration provides two antenna paths within one panel, supporting compatible devices that use two cellular antenna connections. The antenna applies linear horizontal and vertical polarisation, while two N-Female connectors provide the corresponding RF interfaces. Its 30° horizontal and 25° vertical beamwidth creates a concentrated coverage area, making careful alignment important during installation. A VSWR of no more than 1.6 and 50-ohm impedance define the antenna’s matching characteristics, and the maximum input power is 50 W. Before deployment, the connected device should be checked for the required cellular bands and connector type so that the complete RF system is compatible before installation at the selected location.
Mounting and Environment
The antenna is suitable for both indoor and outdoor operation and can be installed on a mast, pole, or wall handle. These mounting options allow the panel to be positioned according to the available structure and directed toward the serving base station. Because the radiation pattern is focused, the mount should permit precise adjustment and secure fixing after alignment. An operating temperature range of −30 to +75 °C supports use across widely varying environmental conditions. The antenna is also rated for wind speeds up to 200 km/h, which should be considered when selecting the mounting surface, support structure, and fastening method for exposed outdoor locations.
The white panel measures 470 × 310 × 50 mm and weighs 1.5 kg, giving installers clear parameters for planning clearance, mounting space, and structural support. Its rectangular housing combines the antenna elements in one enclosure, while the 50 mm depth should be taken into account where the unit is mounted close to a wall or other equipment. The dimensions also help determine whether the selected mast, pole, or wall position provides enough room for orientation and adjustment. Product code L14-8-26-NF2 identifies this specific model when selecting a compatible directional antenna for fixed cellular installations. Correct placement, firm mounting, and accurate alignment are essential to use the antenna within its stated operating and environmental parameters.
