Sierra Wireless offers a wide range of antennas designed for mobile and fixed applications in public safety, utilities, industrial, and other uses.
The line offers several different form-factors which can combine MIMO cellular, GPS, and Wi-Fi antennas into a single low-profile design. The Airlink line also includes directional and paddle antennas.
Although the line is specifically designed to be matched to Sierra Wireless routers, they can be used with other routers as well.
The antennas are named after their form-factor and come in a variety of combinations from 2-in-1 up to 6-in-1. Unfortunately, the line does not offer any 4x4 MIMO cellular options, only 2x2 MIMO.
Here is a sampling of available antennas that may be of interest to mobile users:
- 5-in-1 Dome: 2x2 MIMO sub-6GHz Cellular, including Band 71, GPS, 2x2 MIMO Wi-Fi
- The only option that includes Band 71.
- 2-in-1 Dome: 2x2 MIMO sub-6GHz Cellular (band 71 not supported)
- 3-in-1 SharkFin: 2x2 MIMO cellular, GPS
