The AirLink LX60 is a compact LTE cellular router with Cat 4 or LTE-M/NB-IoT speed. It was designed for mobile, Internet of Things (IoT), and machine-to-machine (M2M) networks.
You’ll find the LX60 connecting security cameras, point-of-sale systems, vending machines, kiosks, and vehicles like taxis to the cellular network. These applications depend on a stable wireless connection, and as such, reliable antennas are fundamental to quality communications.
Multi-antennas, commonly known as combination antennas, have several antenna elements integrated into a single, hardened dome. A 4-in-1 multi-antenna is a popular configuration for the LX60. It consists of four antennas – two cellular, one WiFi, and one GPS. For LX60 router configurations without WiFi and GPS, a 2-in-1 MIMO cellular (Main and Aux) is an excellent choice. All AirLink antennas include low-loss RF cables as well as optional mounting brackets and magnetic bases. These accessories are recommended so you can install the LX60 AirLink antenna where you find the strongest signal.
The LX60 has Main and Aux cellular ports. Two cellular antennas achieve the best bandwidth and performance possible. However, you may connect a single antenna to the Main connector to restrict throughput power consumption. AirLink antennas support North American carrier bands plus CBRS, Private LTE, and FirstNet.
Omnidirectional AirLink antennas for the LX60 are available in several styles – dome, panel, shark fin, paddle, and LPWA. For remote and poor signal areas, consider an AirLink high-gain directional antenna. Most models will withstand harsh outdoor conditions because they are certified to IP65 or IP67 to prevent dust and water ingress and feature a wide operating temperature.
