Product Description

Dual-Band 8-Port MIMO Flat Panel Antenna (2.4/5 GHz), Model GL2473VH60-8

The GL2473VH60-8 is an advanced dual-band, 8-port MIMO flat panel antenna engineered for high-capacity wireless communication across both 2.4 GHz (2400–2500 MHz) and 5 GHz (5150–5850 MHz and 5150–7350 MHz) frequency ranges. Designed for outdoor deployment, it features an integrated 2×2 MIMO configuration with dual polarization (2 Vertical + 2 Horizontal) per band, providing enhanced signal diversity, improved data throughput, and robust performance in multipath environments. With a gain of 8 dBi, moderate beamwidths (65°/60° horizontal, 60°/55° vertical), and high port isolation (≥20 dB), this antenna ensures reliable point-to-multipoint and mesh network connectivity. Housed in a compact, weather-resistant white ABS radome (306×306×25 mm), it includes eight N-female connectors on the rear for easy integration. Supporting up to 50 W input power per port and built to operate from –40°C to +65°C with wind resistance up to 60 m/s, the GL2473VH60-8 is a versatile and durable solution for demanding wireless applications requiring simultaneous multi-band, multi-polarization MIMO operation.

FAQ

Q: How many MIMO streams does this antenna support per band?
A: The antenna supports 2×2 MIMO per frequency band (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz), with dual polarization (2V+2H) enabling up to four spatial streams per band when used with compatible radios.

Q: Can both frequency bands be used simultaneously?
A: Yes, the antenna is designed for concurrent dual-band operation, allowing independent use of the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands for different applications or combined for aggregated throughput.

Q: What type of mounting hardware is required?
A: The antenna is designed for pole mounting (pole diameter ¢35–¢50 mm). Standard U-bolt kits or adjustable clamps compatible with the antenna's rear mounting points are typically used.

Q: Is the antenna suitable for high-wind areas?
A: Yes, with an extreme wind speed rating of 60 m/s (~216 km/h) and a sturdy ABS radome, it is built to withstand severe weather conditions when properly mounted.

Q: What cables and connectors are recommended for the eight N-female ports?
A: Use eight matched, low-loss coaxial cables (e.g., LMR-240 or equivalent) with N-male connectors. Ensure cables are of equal length and properly weather-sealed to maintain signal balance and outdoor reliability.
