Combination antennas, also called multi-antennas, consist of a single dome containing multiple antenna elements. Five elements (two cellular, two WiFi, and GPS) are the most common configuration, offering every antenna that may be connected to the Ericsson Cradlepoint IBR900 cellular router. The IBR900 includes antenna connections for two LTE (Main and Aux), two WiFi, and GPS.
Router Configuration | Cellular Antennas | WiFi | GPS |
---|---|---|---|
IBR900 | 2 | 2 | 1 |
IBR900 with Dock and MC400-1200M modem | 6 | 2 | 2 |
IBR900 with Dock and MC400-600M modem | 4 | 2 | 2 |
The IBR900 may be mounted on the optional Extensibility Dock, and with the MC400LP6 Cat 6 or MC400LP6-1200M Cat 18 modem, gain 2 or 4 LTE and 1 GPS antennas. If the IBR900 and MC400LP6 are configured with 4 LTE, 2 WiFi, and 2 GPS, a 7-in-1 antenna like the Husky PRO7H or Belgian Shepard PRO7BS are perfect matches. The IBR900 with the MC400LP6-1200M creates 6 LTE connections. This combination needs two combo-antennas, like the Husky and Doberman, for example.
Industrial and vehicle applications require high-performance, omnidirectional antennas to improve signal quality and offer better mounting options. Each antenna comes with a set of low-loss cables with various lengths, so you can place the antennas where you need them. Mounting brackets and magnetic bases are available to secure the antenna high on a pole or on the rooftop of a vehicle. These combination antennas are from top-tier manufacturers and are built to withstand extreme environments. Most are IP65 or IP7-rated to prevent dust and water ingress. Of course, all are Ericsson Cradlepoint-approved for the IBR900 router.
