New additions to the portfolio: 5G antennas

To be equipped for the future of mobile communications already now, we have added 5G-capable models to our antenna portfolio. With the 5th generation of mobile communications, the existing frequency bands known from GSM, UMTS and LTE will be expanded to include new frequency ranges between 3 and 4 GHz.
Our new 5G antennas - for use in vehicles and railroads, among other applications - support these, while being backward compatible with the previous mobile communications standards. This means that the older mobile communications standards can still be used with the new antennas. In case of the railway antennas, the antenna design also remains the same - flat and lightweight. The external mechanics of the antennas have also been retained. This means that existing systems can be retrofitted or converted without any problems.

Since the GSM standard, terminal equipment has supported so-called receive diversity, i.e. two receive antennas. In the 5G standard, MIMO technology (Multiple In / Multiple Out) now plays an important role. Thus, 4 receive antennas (RX antennas) are required for the 5G core bands. For transmitting operation, the currently available modems for the frequencies of the European network operators require 3 antennas. The NetModule 5G routers support these requirements.
