Panorama LGAM-BC3G-26 3-in-1 Low Profile Antenna, 2x2 MIMO 4G LTE and GPS

The LGAM-BC3G-26 adds an active GPS/GNSS antenna to Panorama's compact 2x2 MIMO cellular dome. It gives kiosks, payment terminals, fleet telematics and remote assets cellular connectivity plus location or timing from one small, weatherproof antenna.

It installs through a single mounting hole with an acrylic adhesive sealing pad. RCN stocks the 1 m version, with integrated RG174 cables ending in SMA male plugs for both cellular and GPS. The housing is rated IP66.

Right for you if

• Your device has two cellular SMA ports and one GPS SMA port.
• You need position or timing along with LTE on a kiosk, cabinet or vehicle.
• Your router sits within 1 m of the antenna.
• If you do not need GPS, the LPAM-BC3G-26 is the cellular-only version.

FAQ

Will it work on a plastic or fiberglass enclosure?
Panorama states that the LP[G]AM-BC3G-26 can be fitted on a non-conductive panel if required, and lists it as able to perform on or off a conductive surface. Installation uses a single mounting hole and an acrylic adhesive sealing pad, so it suits kiosk tops, cabinets and vehicle panels without a separate ground plane.

Does it cover 5G?
Panorama lists the LP[G]AM-BC3G-26 at 698-960 MHz and 1710-3800 MHz and describes it for 2G, 3G, 4G and 5G LTE bands within that range. It does not cover 600 MHz Band 71 or bands above 3.8 GHz. For full 617-6000 MHz coverage in a compact IoT antenna, look at the LPAM-6-60.

Which cable length should I choose?
Panorama supplies the antenna with integrated RG174 cable in 1 m (3.3 ft) or 3 m (10 ft) lengths with SMA male plugs. RG174 is thin and flexible but loses more signal over distance than thicker coax, so choose the shortest length that reaches your router. If the router sits farther away, ask RCN about a different antenna.
