Poynting Antennas introduces its all-new antenna enclosure range, the WaveHunter™ series. The WaveHunter™ enclosure is designed to fit a variety of router and networking modules, transforming the antenna enclosure into a CPE (Customer Premises Equipment) – just add your own LTE/5G routers and networking equipment. The WaveHunter™ enclosure can accommodate two routers up to the size of 250 x 150 x 50 mm³ mounted directly to the base. Additional equipment can be added within a stacked customised user-supplied frame. The WaveHunter™ antenna enclosure uses our world-renowned Artificial Magnetic Conductor (AMC) technology from our XPOL-2-5G antenna. The antenna array consists of 12 cross-polarised, high gain, 2x2 MIMO directional antennas arranged in two stacked arrays offset at 60° increments. This provides 360° wideband coverage from 617 to 960 MHz and 1710 to 4200 MHz, with a peak gain of 11 dBi, making it ideal for Multi-router LTE & 5G bonded and aggregated deployments. The enclosure was also designed to withstand adverse weather conditions, making the antenna weatherproof and waterproof with an IP65 rating.

A lightning protector may want to be considered on the Ethernet cables leading from this antenna in order to protect the internal circuit of the boat in the extremely unlikely event that the antenna itself is directly struck by lightning.
Comment from Trade customer Steve, who took two Wavehunters for his install
"It works splendid. We coupled it to a commercial Peplink EPX and BR2s and the antennas can cater for more than they can handle."
