Airgain has announced the release of 5G and Wi-Fi 6E MULTIMAX Next 6-in-1 and 5-in-1 antennas for Fleet and Public Safety Vehicles. MULTIMAX Next is designed to deliver leading 5G performance and support for next generation Wi-Fi 6E. These antennas are available in a range of configurations, including ground plane independent and external whip options. They support dual MIMO LTE and 5G (includes Band 14, CBRS, LAA, and Band 71) applications, 2 x 2 MIMO Wi-Fi, multi-constellation GNSS, and external whip connector for applications including LMR and Tetra, all in a sleek and compact enclosure.
With a smaller footprint than competing solutions and a strong, bolt-mount aluminum base, MULTIMAX Next fits securely to the roof of modern service vehicles such as the Ford Explorer, while providing greater protection against natural hazards threatening vehicles, including vibration, ice, salt, car washes, and tree sweeps. In addition, the low profile design allows fleet owners to add style to their vehicles without compromising performance. MULTIMAX Next includes high-gain antennas that deliver a larger 5G cellular footprint alongside high rejection GNSS technology with coverage for multiple satellite systems including GPS, GLONASS, Galileo and BeiDou (BDS).
“MULTIMAX Next checks all the boxes for public safety organizations wanting to invest in a 5G antenna designed to address the next generation of cellular and Wi-Fi technology,” said Kevin Thill, Airgain’s Senior Vice President of Engineering. “Now with the integrated option for an external whip antenna, the MULTIMAX Next 6-in-1 and 5-in-1 antennas can provide support for LMR radios in addition to LTE and 5G cellular, Wi-Fi, and GNSS. With our pedigree in leading edge high performance wireless solutions, customers and partners can rely on Airgain’s technological superiority and depth of design experience to deliver optimal connectivity for their fleets. Support for 5G and Wi-Fi 6E makes this antenna future-proof for the next generation of vehicular technology coming to the market soon.”
The MULTIMAX Next 6-in-1 and 5-in-1 antennas are available in either black or white and can also be customized. Optional accessories for North America and the international market are also available.
