Peplink is a mobile connectivity company best known for its line of Pepwave mobile routers, but Peplink also offers a variety of antennas that are certified for use with its cellular integrated router lineup.
In September 2021, Peplink rolled out a new "Maritime" series of 5G/LTE compatible marine-grade omnidirectional antennas targeted at marine users.
Product Variations
The first two Maritime antennas are marine grade antennas designed to support all sub-6GHz 5G frequencies, supporting either 2x2 or 4x4 MIMO (depending on the model) reception, as well as GPS.
Here are the current model variants:
- Maritime 20G - A 5G-ready antenna with 2x2 MIMO cellular, and GPS.
- Maritime 40G - A 5G-ready antenna with 4x4 MIMO cellular, and GPS.
The Maritime 20G is a 40cm (16") tall antenna on a marine mount, with a 2x2 MIMO configuration - plus GPS antenna.
The Maritime 40G is a 80cm (32") tall antenna in a 4x4 MIMO configuration - internally it is basically two Maritime 20G's stacked on top of each other.

Cellular antennas can be a vital part of your signal enhancing strategy to get a better signal, and thus better cellular data performance. They come in many shapes, sizes and varieties.
They can be used directly connected to your mobile hotspots or cellular embedded routers, or they might connect to your cellular booster. They come in omni-directional vs directional, single vs MIMO, and might support different frequency bands. They come in combination antennas with Wi-Fi and GPS.
But most importantly, is your installation options on your RV or boat.
So before choosing an antenna, be sure to understand all of these variables - and keep in mind that there likely isn't a single 'one size fits all' solution here. You may need to make compromises, or even have speciality antennas for challenging signal areas.
