Product Identity

The Laird Technologies Phantom Antenna is a multi-band antenna designed for 3G and 4G LTE cellular applications. It serves public safety, M2M, utility, and data transport installations that require reliable signal reception across diverse environments. The unit supports both indoor and outdoor deployments with a permanent N-Female mount.

Critical Frequency Range

This antenna operates simultaneously across 698-960 MHz and 1700-2700 MHz bands with 5.5 dBi gain. It covers all US 4G LTE frequencies and common global bands, making the supported spectrum the decisive factor for compatibility with your cellular modem or router. Buyers needing coverage outside these specific ranges cannot use this model.

Installation Notes

The antenna uses an industry-standard NMO mounting socket compatible with magnetic, trunk-lid, and hole-mount configurations. A threaded permanent stud variant is available for vandal-resistant mounting on brackets, panels, or ceilings. Ensure the chosen mount matches your surface type and that the N-Female connector matches your equipment interface.

Questions about this item

How does the 5.5 dBi gain affect real-world signal range on a vehicle?

The 5.5 dBi gain focuses radiation toward the horizon, improving reception distance for 698-960 MHz and 1700-2700 MHz bands compared to unity-gain antennas when mounted on a metal roof or ground plane.

What does the N-Female connector limit in practice?

The N-Female jack mates with N-Male plugs on low-loss coaxial cable, so the practical limit is the cable's attenuation at 698-960 MHz and 1700-2700 MHz rather than the connector itself.

What mounting hardware does the permanent stud require?

The threaded permanent stud mounts directly through a bracket, panel or ceiling hole and secures with the supplied hardware, giving a vandal-resistant fit without a separate NMO socket.
