Peplink is a mobile connectivity company most famous for its line of Pepwave mobile routers, but Peplink also offers a variety of antennas that are certified for use with its LTE router lineup. This style of antenna is a dome antenna with the cables routed through the base of the antenna. More information on installing these antennas can be found in the Antenna Installation - Low Profile Roof Mounts.
Product Variations
In mid-2020 Peplink rolled out a new product line of Puma omnidirectional antennas targeted at mobile users. In August 2021, the name of this line was changed from Puma to Mobility, and the product numbers were also edited, but the products themselves remain the same.
The cellular versions support all sub-6GHz 5G frequencies with either 2x2 or 4x4 MIMO depending on the model. Here are the current model variants:
- Mobility-82G - An 11-in-1 antenna with 8x8 MIMO cellular, 2x2 Wi-Fi antennas, and GPS. It supports the latest 5G bands including band 71.
- Mobility-42G - A 7-in-1 antenna with 4x4 MIMO cellular, 2x2 Wi-Fi antennas, and GPS. It supports the latest 5G bands including band 71. **TOP PICK**
- Mobility-40G - A 5-in-1 antenna with 4X4 MIMO cellular and GPS, and the predecessor to the 42G.
- Mobility-22G - A 5-in-1 antenna that offers 2x2 MIMO cellular, two Wi-Fi antennas (supporting both 2.4 GHz & 5 GHz), and GPS.
- Mobility-20G - A 3-in-1 antenna that offers 2x2 MIMO cellular and GPS.
- Mobility-02 - A 2-in-1 antenna that supports dual-band Wi-Fi only with no cellular or GPS.

News, Videos, & Status
In October 2023, we have received an evaluation unit from MobileMustHave.com of the Mobility 82, which we have in head to head testing against the equivalent Parsec Great Pyrenees. In June 2021, MobileMustHave sent us an evaluation unit of the Mobility 42G (formerly Puma 421) and we previously received the Mobility-40G for evaluation courtesy of Peplink in July 2020.
We have extensive experience with this antenna line up and our full review of the 40G and 42G are available to members below.

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.
We recommend starting with our Guide to Selecting Antennas, and then moving on to our other guides addressing related topics:
