Dipole LTE Antenna Cisco LTE-ANTM-SMA-D 698–960 MHz & 1710–2690 MHz, SMA connector

The Cisco Dipole LTE Antenna LTE-ANTM-SMA-D covers dual cellular bands 698–960 MHz and 1710–2690 MHz and is supplied with an SMA connector for straightforward attachment to compatible LTE routers, gateways and modems. Designed for indoor or sheltered outdoor placement, this dipole antenna supports voice and data transmission, machine-to-machine (M2M) and IoT communication, and helps improve received signal strength and uplink/downlink throughput in areas with variable coverage.

Advantages

This dipole design provides broad frequency coverage across primary LTE bands, enabling compatibility with multiple operators and international deployments. The integrated SMA connector simplifies installation and replacement on devices that accept female SMA antenna ports. The antenna’s compact form factor and sheltered-outdoor rating allow flexible mounting options near windows, on walls or inside cabinets while reducing degradation from minor environmental exposure.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Improving cellular reception for indoor LTE routers and gateways
• Enhancing M2M and IoT device connectivity in industrial or commercial sites
• Boosting voice and data reliability in areas with weak or fluctuating mobile signal
• Temporary or fixed deployments where a compact external antenna with SMA interface is required

Key specifications

• Frequency ranges: 698–960 MHz and 1710–2690 MHz
• Connector type: SMA (male)
• Antenna type: Dipole, omnidirectional characteristics
• Intended use: Indoor or sheltered outdoor installations
• Supported applications: LTE voice, LTE data, M2M, IoT

How to use

Attach the antenna to the device’s SMA antenna port by hand, ensuring the connector is aligned and finger-tight to avoid damage. Position the antenna vertically and place it near a window or elevated location for best line-of-sight to the nearest cell tower. For sheltered outdoor mounting, locate the antenna where exposure to direct weather is limited and secure it with suitable clamps or brackets. After installation, verify signal levels and throughput in the device management interface and adjust placement incrementally to find the optimal position.

Usage recommendations

Use this antenna with devices that accept SMA-type external antennas and verify network band compatibility before deployment. When improving throughput for data-heavy applications, pair the antenna with modem/router settings tuned for the local carrier bands and maintain moderate cable lengths to minimize signal loss.
