The LPDA-500 is the new and improved log-periodic dipole antenna (LPDA) from Poynting. The LPDA-500 is a high gain unidirectional ultra-wideband antenna operating from 617 to 7200 MHz. The ultra-wideband coverage includes current 5G and future cellular bands, as well as Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi 6E bands. The LPDA-500 has consistently high gain performance across the entire operating band, making the antenna suitable for use with a variety of wireless communication systems. Our previous LPDA was successfully deployed in extreme weather environments around the world. The new LPDA-500 is no different.

The LPDA-500 comes standard with a new and improved mounting bracket that can be rotated in 45° increments. This allows for easy installation and the customer can mount multiple LPDA-500 antennas and align them in a MIMO configuration, i.e. vertical and horizontal or ±45°. Poynting Antennas is known for developing future-proof antennas, and the new LPDA-500 is no different.
