RFI CDQ8199 8.5dBi Bullbar Mounted 3G+ 4G+ 5G Antenna - Removeable Whip

Key Features

• The RFI CDQ8199 is perfect for the traveller heading off the beaten path in the outback as it provides the strongest gain out of our Omni Directional Antennas

• Multiband covering all of the 3G, 4G & 5G frequencies currently in use

• Ideal for new 5G/LTE networks with true multi-band coverage.

• Patented PCB based collinear design offering the ultimate in pattern and gain stability

• Supplied with 5m low loss coaxial cable, with Male SMA connector

• Q-Fit® removable whip system for ease of removal in low height environments such as multi-story car parks, car washes or for security purposes

Additional Information

• The new CDQ8100 Series 5G LTE antennas not only cover the 4G LTE bands (698-960 MHz, 1710-2170 MHz, and 2300-2700MHz) but now the new 5G LTE band (3400-3800 MHz) and is ideal for use with cellular modems & active repeaters, especially when signal is poor.

• The outstanding performance of the CDQ8100 series lies in the use of the patented Meander™ radiating elements. These Meander™ circuits are coupled together to deliver extraordinary consistency in gain, coverage pattern and bandwidth. The result is a unique antenna able to operate across all mobile phone networks globally, housed in the one unit. It is our flagship product and is designed for the harsh Australian conditions. & includes an integrated spring with threaded stud/nut for easy installation on vehicles. 

• The CDQ8100 Series whips can be removed via the integrated N male connector in the whip and N female connector on the spring assembly.

• It's important to note this antenna does not provide MIMO, if you require the best possible Internet performance, you should use two antennas, separated by around 300mm.

Usage

• As a rule of thumb: the higher the dBi, the flatter the angle the antenna can receive signal

• With a significantly higher gain than the CDQ8194 and CDQ8195, the CDQ7199 is the best performing antenna in flat outback and rural areas, where cell towers are few and far between

• The CDQ8100 series is designed with our Q-Fit® system for quick and simple removal of the whip section - this allows users to remove the whip section when entering car washes, low height areas such as car parks and for security

• The antenna is provided with a waterproof sealing cap to prevent the ingress of dust and water when the whip section is removed

• With a 16mm stud mount on an heavy duty electropolished stainless steel spring, these antennas may be installed on a number of mounting brackets and are ideal for installations in commercial vehicles, four wheel drives and trucks

• The CDQ8199's fully ground-independent design results in true 8.5dBi gain regardless of mounting position.
