Product Overview

Panorama SH-IN2618 5G LTE Antenna Kit, 5-meter cables, Ericsson Cradlepoint Compatible

The SH-IN2618 Sharkee combination antenna brings 5G capability to automotive and transportation applications. It’s ideal for vehicle applications such as police cars, emergency services, trucking fleets, and mass transit buses. The Sharkee is the most advanced 5G LTE antenna for mobile cellular routers and is compatible with the Ericsson Cradlepoint IBR1700 series.

Configured in a single, rugged sharkfin style housing, the ultra-wideband 2x2 MIMO cellular antenna elements cover all 5G LTE spectrum frequencies worldwide (617 to 6000 MHz), including LTE band 71 (617 to 698 MHz). The wideband cellular antenna elements are highly efficient with >12 dB isolation, and they offer 5 to 9 dBi peak gain depending on the frequency. The antenna is also equipped with 3x3 MIMO WiFi 6 supporting 2.4, 5.0, and 7.1 GHz networks. The GPS/GNSS module has advanced noise filtering and works with GPS, Glonass, BeiDou, and Galileo satellite systems.

The rugged dome is manufactured from heavy-duty plastic for extra durability. It includes a boot-mount gasket for better sealing and conductive pads on the underside for superior grounding. It may be placed on a metallic or non-metallic surface, and there is no significant impact on the antenna’s overall RF performance if the antenna cannot be tied to a ground plane. The radome mounts through a single hole drilled in the vehicle roof and is slim enough to fit between the roof rib lines of most major vehicles. The antenna carries a stringent IP69K test certificate, assuring it repels water and dust for safe operation outdoors. The SH-IN2618 is a kit consisting of the SHKG-6-60-TW antenna and a complete set of 5-meter low-loss double-shielded cables, terminating in SMA connectors. The kit makes vehicle installation quick and straightforward.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Panorama SH-IN2618 and what is it designed for?
The SH-IN2618 is a 6-in-1 Sharkee antenna kit built for 5G-capable mobile and vehicle deployments. The kit includes the SHKG-6-60-TW ultra-wideband shark-fin antenna and six 15-foot (approximately 5-meter) extension cables. It integrates two 5G-capable MIMO cellular elements, three 3x3 MIMO WiFi 6 elements, and one active GPS/GNSS element in a single rooftop shark-fin housing. Verizon Frontline Verified. Designed for police cars, emergency services, trucking fleets, and mass transit.
What frequency bands does the SH-IN2618 cover?
The SH-IN2618 covers a broad spectrum: Cellular — 617–960 MHz and 1710–6000 MHz (2x2 MIMO 5G NR / 4G LTE, including LTE Band 71 and 5G mid-band up to 6 GHz); WiFi 6 — 2.396–2.485 GHz (5 dBi gain) and 4.9–7.2 GHz (11 dBi gain), supporting 2.4, 5.0, and 6 GHz (tri-band WiFi 6E range); GPS/GNSS — 1562–1612 MHz with 26 dB LNA gain. Advanced filtering is included for LTE Bands 13/14 and Band 71.
How is the SH-IN2618 installed?
The SH-IN2618 Sharkee antenna mounts through a single hole in the vehicle roof. It includes a boot-mount gasket for superior sealing and conductive pads on the underside for grounding. No separate ground plane is required—the antenna performs on metallic or non-metallic surfaces with no significant impact on RF performance. The included 15-foot RG174 cables (UN ECE R 118 compliant) route to the interior router. Antenna dimensions are 243 × 63 × 90 mm.
What is the antenna element configuration and what connectors does it use?
The SH-IN2618 is a 6:1 antenna kit: 2 LTE/5G (2x2 MIMO) + 3 WiFi 6 (3x3 MIMO) + 1 GPS/GNSS. Six cables are included. LTE and GPS elements use SMA male connectors. The antenna body is constructed from ASA plastic, silicone rubber, and aluminum alloy. Maximum input power is 10 watts; impedance is 50 ohms; peak gain is 5–9 dBi depending on frequency band.
Is the SH-IN2618 compatible with Ericsson Cradlepoint routers?
Yes. The SH-IN2618 is explicitly compatible with the Ericsson Cradlepoint IBR1700 router, which supports 5G NR. The SMA LTE cables connect to the cellular antenna ports, the WiFi cables connect to the WiFi radio ports, and the GPS SMA cable connects to the GNSS input. It is also Verizon Frontline Verified for mission-critical public safety deployments.
What are the environmental ratings and certifications?
The SH-IN2618 carries an IP69K ingress protection rating—the highest available—meaning it is resistant to high-pressure, high-temperature water jets and is fully dustproof. Operating temperature range is -40°C to +80°C (-40°F to +176°F). Cables comply with UN ECE R 118 flame-retardant standards. Available in black or white radome color.
