The Poynting EPNT antenna - Interview with Stephen Froneman from Poynting Antennas

In this video we have a chat with Stephen Froneman about the Poynting ePoynt series antennas.

Antenna enclosure with high performance antennas
New advanced metamaterial technology
Exceptional high gain performance over the main 4G/5G bands
2x2 MIMO dual-band 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz Wi-Fi antennas
Cross-polarised antennas for improved performance
Weather, dust and vandal resistant enclosure (IP 65)

Poynting Antennas introduces its all-new antenna enclosure range, the ePoynt series. The ePoynt enclosures are designed to fit a variety of router modules, transforming the antenna enclosure into a Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) – just add your own LTE/5G router. The ePoynt enclosure can accommodate routers up to the size of 185 x 145 x 45 mm³. The ePoynt-2 (EPNT-2) antenna enclosure uses our world renowned Artificial Magnetic Conductor (AMC) technology from our XPOL-2-5G antenna. Providing a cross-polarised, high gain, uni-directional antenna that offers wideband coverage from 698 to 960 MHz and 1710 to 3800 MHz, making it ideal for LTE & 5G implementations.

The EPNT-2 contains four cross-polarised cellular antennas, with two uni-directional antennas offering a peak gain of 11 dBi and two omni-directional antennas with a peak gain of 5 dBi. Making it ideal for 4×4 MIMO or dual 2×2 MIMO routers. The EPNT-2 also includes two omni-directional dual-band Wi-Fi antennas that cover the 2.4 GHz and 5 to 6 GHz Wi-Fi bands for 2×2 MIMO. The combination of our uni-directional XPOL-2-5G antenna with a world class router delivers exceptional performance along with increased data throughput. The EPNT-2 enclosure was also designed to withstand adverse weather condition, making the antenna weatherproof and waterproof with an IP65 rating.

Excellent video. This brings more knowledge to us towards an educated choice of antennas when ordering, thanks.

Nice video and thanks for the work you do

I need one of these!!, so are they 4x4mimo 2 directional and 2 Omni? And do they work with 763 - 778mhz 4G?

[fifferfiffer]

living 2km from the tower, i need directional antennas, which is better configuration for Teltonika RUTX50,

1: Poynting XPOL-24 which is 4x4 uni-directional but no wifi antenna

or

2: a combination of a EPNT-2 (2x2, uni, has wifi antennas as well) + XPOL-2-5G (2x2 uni, no wifi antennas)

in both cases i would have the 4x4 mimo, and i read that the two 2x2 mimo antenna is overall better than a single 4x4 mimo antenna?

so is it true that in option 2 i would have not only better signal but also an extrenal wifi antenna also (which i kinda need)

Hi, I have an Netgear M6 Pro, with and external XPOL2 and I can get 500mbs down when I reboot the router, but after a minute or two I can’t get over 100mbs, this service is with Telstra, are they throttling me, is the normal practice by them? If so are they any providers that don’t throttle? Or is it just a simple setting in my router I’m missing, I’m connect via Ethernet, I have changed the Ethernet setting to 2.5gb output

Hi, can you tell me which of the four antenna ports for lte/5g are for what frequencies, main and div I see on the back do I need to be careful which antenna should be hooked up to which sma port, I normally use single band antennas for higher gain so be helpful to know what frequencies the 4 sma ports correspond to, thnx
