Directional LTE Antenna
The L17-26-NF2 is an outdoor directional panel antenna for fixed cellular connections using compatible 3G UMTS and 4G LTE equipment. It operates across the 2300–2700 MHz range, concentrating coverage within a defined direction instead of distributing it evenly around the installation point. This makes it suitable for deployments where the cellular signal source can be identified and the panel can be aimed toward it. Its 17 dBi gain supports focused reception and transmission within the supported frequency range. The integrated panel format combines both antenna elements in one housing, creating a single outdoor unit for installations that require a directional cellular connection.
A 2x2 MIMO configuration provides two antenna paths for compatible devices, allowing both radio connections to be served through one panel assembly. Two N-Female connectors provide the corresponding RF interfaces, so the selected cables and connected equipment must use matching connector types. The antenna has a 35° horizontal and 32° vertical beamwidth, creating a focused coverage area that makes accurate alignment an important part of installation. Correct orientation helps keep the intended cellular source within both the horizontal and vertical beam. A VSWR below 1.6 and 50-ohm impedance define the antenna’s electrical matching, while the maximum input power is 50 W. These characteristics help determine compatibility with the connected radio equipment and associated RF components.
Outdoor Installation
Designed for permanent outdoor placement, the L17-26-NF2 can be mounted on a pole or mast, giving installers a practical way to position the panel above nearby obstructions and direct it toward the intended signal source. The mounting arrangement also supports the precise horizontal and vertical orientation required by the antenna’s focused radiation pattern. Its operating temperature range of −30 to +75 °C allows deployment across widely varying outdoor conditions, from cold environments to locations exposed to high ambient temperatures. A maximum specified wind speed of 200 km/h indicates that the antenna is intended to remain installed in demanding exposed locations when correctly secured.
The white panel measures 470 × 250 × 30 mm, providing a slim rectangular profile that can be considered when planning mast clearance, spacing, and orientation. At 1.5 kg, the unit requires a mounting point and support structure suitable for its weight as well as the environmental loads expected at the installation site. The relatively shallow 30 mm depth keeps the antenna close to its mounting plane, while the larger front surface accommodates the directional panel design. These physical characteristics help installers assess the required mounting area before deployment. Product code L17-26-NF2 identifies this specific 2x2 MIMO outdoor panel antenna and distinguishes it when selecting the correct model for a compatible cellular installation.
