Panorama LPAMM-BC3G-26 2x2 MIMO 4G LTE Magnetic Mount Antenna, 3 m Cables

The LPAMM-BC3G-26 is a compact 2x2 MIMO cellular antenna on a magnetic base. It suits trials, temporary sites and metal cabinets or vehicle roofs where drilling is not an option, and it shares the weatherproof low-profile dome of Panorama's LP[G]AM-BC3G-26 range.

The magnetic base holds the antenna on steel surfaces, and the integrated 3 m (9.84 ft) RG174 cables end in SMA male plugs. Panorama also lists panel mounting for this model.

Right for you if

• You need a no-drill installation on a steel cabinet, vehicle roof or equipment case.
• Your device has two cellular SMA ports.
• You want a temporary or movable antenna for a trial or pop-up site.
• If you also need GPS, see the LGAMM-BC3G-26.

FAQ

Will the magnetic base hold on a moving vehicle?
Panorama classes the magnetic base as a temporary mounting method and also lists panel mounting for this antenna. For short-term use on a steel roof or cabinet, the magnet avoids drilling. For permanent installs on vehicles in daily service, a fixed panel-mount antenna such as the LPAM-BC3G-26 is the more secure choice.

Does it cover 5G?
Panorama lists this antenna at 698-960 MHz and 1710-3800 MHz, with 1.5 dBi at low band, 4.5 dBi from 1710 to 2170 MHz and 5 dBi from 2500 to 3800 MHz. That covers LTE and mid-band 5G up to 3.8 GHz, but not 600 MHz Band 71 or bands above 3.8 GHz.

Does it need a metal surface?
The magnet needs a steel surface to hold. Panorama states the LP[G]AMM-BC3G-26 range can perform on or off a conductive surface, so the RF side does not depend on the metal. On aluminum, fiberglass or plastic you would need the panel-mount option instead of the magnet.
