Teltonika Networks PR1KCI49 5G Combo MIMO Mobile and GNSS Roof Antenna

The Teltonika Networks PR1KCI49 is a high-performance 5G Combo MIMO antenna engineered for demanding mobile and GNSS applications. This robust, roof-mounted solution provides reliable, high-speed connectivity for industrial and automotive networking equipment. Designed for external installation, it ensures optimal signal reception for 5G cellular networks while simultaneously providing precise satellite positioning, making it an essential component for professional communication systems requiring stability and performance.

Advantages

The primary benefit of this antenna is its integrated multi-function design, which combines 5G cellular and GNSS capabilities into a single, compact housing. This reduces the complexity of installation and minimizes the number of mounting points required on a vehicle or industrial enclosure. The unit is built with a durable, weather-resistant exterior that protects internal components from harsh environmental conditions, ensuring long-term reliability in outdoor settings. Furthermore, the MIMO technology significantly enhances data throughput and signal quality, providing a stable connection even in areas with challenging network coverage.

Suitable for

• Automotive fleet management and tracking systems
• Industrial IoT and remote monitoring equipment
• Public transport communication and connectivity
• Emergency service vehicles requiring reliable data links
• Mobile office and professional field communication setups

When it may not be suitable

This antenna is specifically designed for roof-mounting and external use; therefore, it is not suitable for indoor-only applications where signal penetration through building materials is the primary requirement. Additionally, it may not be the optimal choice for systems that do not support 5G or standard GNSS frequency bands, as the hardware is optimized for these specific technologies.

Key specifications

• Frequency support: 5G cellular and GNSS
• Mounting type: Roof-mount
• Technology: MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output)
• Design: Weather-resistant, robust external housing
• Application: Industrial and automotive networking

How to use

Installation should be performed on a flat, stable surface on the roof of the vehicle or equipment housing. Ensure that the mounting area is clean and free of debris to allow for a secure seal. Route the antenna cables through the designated cable entry points, ensuring they are protected from sharp edges and excessive tension. Once mounted, connect the SMA connectors to the corresponding ports on your Teltonika networking device. After physical installation, verify the signal strength and GNSS lock status through the device's web interface to ensure optimal alignment and performance.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your networking device supports the required SMA connector interfaces.
• Ensure the mounting location provides a clear view of the sky for optimal GNSS performance.
• Check the cable length requirements for your specific vehicle or installation site.
• Confirm compatibility with your existing 5G cellular frequency bands.

Usage recommendations

For the best performance, ensure the antenna is installed away from other large metal objects that could cause signal interference. Regularly inspect the mounting seal and cable connections to maintain weatherproofing and signal integrity over time.
