High-Performance Antenna Options

The R1900 does NOT include antennas for the four LTE (4x4 MIMO), two WiFi, GPS, and Bluetooth connections. Antennas must be purchased separately. See the Accessories tab or the R1900 antenna page for a list of Ericsson Cradlepoint approved, high-performance antennas. Manufactured by top-tier companies like Parsec, Panorama, Mobile Mark, and Taoglas, these omnidirectional antennas mate with the R1900 router to significantly improve signal quality and upload and download speeds. Many include low-loss extension cables and mounting brackets so you can locate the antenna for the best signal strength. These are ideal for vehicles, machines, industrial operations, and remote locations.
