4G LTE 17dBi Outdoor Panel Antenna 1800MHz

The L17-18-NF2 is an outdoor directional panel antenna for fixed cellular installations using compatible 3G UMTS and 4G LTE equipment. It operates across the 1700–2100 MHz range, concentrating coverage toward a selected direction rather than distributing the signal around the installation point. This makes the antenna suitable for deployments where the intended cellular base station can be identified and the panel can be aimed toward it. A gain of 17 dBi supports focused reception and transmission within the specified range, while the white panel housing provides a single, integrated antenna unit for permanent outdoor use.

Its defined beamwidth of 35° horizontally and 32° vertically creates a focused coverage area, so precise alignment is an important part of installation. Positioning the panel toward the intended base station helps keep the signal source inside both the horizontal and vertical beam. Two N-Female RF connectors provide the antenna interfaces for compatible equipment, allowing both connections to be made through the same panel. A VSWR below 1.6 and an impedance of 50 ohms define the antenna’s matching characteristics and should be considered together with the connected radio equipment and RF components. Before installation, the supported frequency range, connector type, and overall equipment compatibility should be verified to ensure that the antenna matches the intended cellular system.

The antenna is designed for pole mounting, giving installers a practical way to place it outdoors and adjust its direction toward the selected cellular base station. A suitable pole provides the support needed for accurate horizontal and vertical orientation, which is especially important because of the focused radiation pattern. The mounting location should allow the panel to be aimed without obstruction and secured firmly for long-term use. Its operating temperature range of −30 to +75 °C supports deployment across widely varying outdoor conditions throughout the year, from cold environments to locations exposed to high ambient temperatures.

The panel measures 470 × 250 × 30 mm and weighs 1.5 kg, so the chosen pole and mounting arrangement should provide sufficient space and support for the unit. Its relatively shallow 30 mm depth keeps the antenna close to the mounting plane, while the larger front surface corresponds to the directional panel format. A rated wind velocity of 200 km/h indicates that the installation must account for substantial wind exposure and use an appropriately secure mounting point. These physical and environmental characteristics help installers evaluate the required mounting area, structural support, and orientation before deployment. Product code L17-18-NF2 identifies this specific model when selecting the correct antenna for a compatible fixed cellular installation.
