LX40 Antennas

Approved High-Performance Antennas for the LX40 Routers

Critical wireless networks demand reliable antennas to boost signal quality and data throughput. That’s why Semtech offers a portfolio of antennas paired with their AirLink routers. These high-quality AirLink antennas have been tested and certified to optimize cellular and WiFi performance for the LX40 cellular router. The LX40 offers antenna connections for MIMO LTE and optional SISO WiFi.

The AirLink LX40 is a compact LTE cellular router with a choice of Cat 4 or LTE-M/NB-IoT performance. It’s perfect for the Internet of Things (IoT) and machine-to-machine (M2M) applications. You’ll find the LX40 connecting security cameras, point-of-sale terminals, digital signage, and kiosks to the cellular network. Because these applications demand a reliable wireless connection, often in remote or industrial locations, reliable antennas are necessary for superb connectivity.

Omnidirectional AirLink antennas for the LX40 are available in several styles – panel, shark fin, paddle, and LPWA. They stand up to harsh conditions, are certified to IP65 or IP67 to prevent dust and water ingress, and are rated for extreme heat and cold.

Combination antennas, commonly known as multi-antennas, consist of a single radome with multiple antenna elements. A 3-in-1 multi-antenna is a typical configuration for the LX40, consisting of two cellular elements and one WiFi. For LX40 router configurations without WiFi, a 2-in-1 cellular (Main and Aux) is ideal. Each AirLink antenna includes a set of low-loss RF cables and optional mounting brackets and magnetic bases. These are available so you can position the LX40 AirLink antenna to enhance signal reception.

Two cellular antennas connected to the Main and Aux ports are recommended for 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 mobile networks, CBRS, dedicated Private LTE, and FirstNet bands.
