BMLPVMB/LTE-VP

Antennas RF Overview

The Amphenol PCTEL BMLPVMB/LTE-VP is a vandal-proof, low-profile RF dome antenna designed for cellular and wireless applications. It operates across two frequency bands: 600MHz to 960MHz and 1.71GHz to 2.7GHz, covering LTE, 5G, and other standards. The antenna features an average gain of 3dBi in both bands with a VSWR of 2. It utilizes a Type N female connector for mounting and offers IP66 ingress protection. Maximum power handling is rated at 150W, and it requires installation on a metallic ground plane.
