6GK5896-4ME00-0AA0 Siemens ANT8964ME GPRS/LTE Mobile wireless antenna

Remote antennas increase the reliability of wireless links by optimizing signal reception and emission.

• Used for routers, modems and communications processors for the mobile wireless standards 5G (public and private networks), LTE (4G), UMTS (3G) and GSM/GPRS (2G)
• Coordinated range of antennas for the most diverse applications both indoors and outdoors

• Cost-effective connection to devices in remote, difficult-to-access or demanding environments
• Establishment of a reliable mobile wireless infrastructure through the use of remote antennas, even if the mobile wireless devices are installed in the control cabinet, for example

Remote antennas optimize the transmit and receive conditions and support the use of remote network products in a large number of industrial applications.
In addition to antennas with directional radiation characteristics, omnidirectional antennas concentrate the radio field around the antenna in the shape of a disc. Both designs therefore result in improved radio communication quality.

Application examples:

• Remote access to globally distributed machines and plants, e.g. for teleservice
• Telecontrol applications, e.g. in the water and wastewater plant environment as well as oil and gas applications, and applications in the railway or public transport environments
• Other applications, for example, automation of power distribution networks (Smart Grid), video surveillance

Overview of mobile network antennas

Remote antennas are used to optimize the radio field for the application. In industrial applications, this permits a reliable radio link.

Omnidirectional antennas

Omnidirectional antenna

With omnidirectional antennas, the radio field is emitted evenly in every direction surrounding the antenna (horizontal opening angle: 360°), but it weakens as the distance increases. There is a concentration in the vertical direction which creates passive amplification of the radio field. Many omnidirectional antennas have extremely weak radiation directly below the antenna due to the construction type. This property can be seen in the associated antenna diagram.

Antennas for use with the 5G mobile wireless standard in public and private networks

ANT897-4MC

The ANT897-4MC antenna is a broadband antenna that supports mobile wireless frequency bands from 617 to 5 000 MHz. It has an antenna gain of 2 to 3 dBi (depending on the frequency band used), an N-Connect plug and IP65/67 degree of protection. It is therefore ideally suited for direct mounting on SCALANCE MUM856-1 5G routers.

ANT795-4MX

The ANT795-4MX antenna supports mobile wireless frequency bands from 1 700 to 3 800 MHz, as well as WLAN frequency bands at 2.4 and 5 GHz. It has an antenna gain of 1.5 to 2 dBi (depending on the frequency band used), N-Connect plugs and IP68/69K degree of protection. It can thus be used for direct mounting on SCALANCE MUM856-1 5G routers and is also suitable for use in railroad environments.

ANT795-6MN

The ANT795-6MN antenna supports mobile wireless frequency bands from 2 400 to 2 700 and 3 400 to 3 800 MHz, as well as WLAN frequency bands at 2.4 and 5 GHz. It has an antenna gain of 6 to 8 dBi (depending on the frequency band used), N-Connect socket and IP65 degree of protection. This antenna can be connected to the mobile wireless devices with an antenna connection cable from the SIMATIC NET range. This means the antenna can be positioned at the location that is best for radio transmission. It is also suitable for use in railway environments.

Antennas for use with the LTE (4G), UMTS (3G) and GSM (2G) mobile wireless standards.

ANT896-4MA, ANT896-4ME and ANT896-6MH

The ANT896-4MA antenna has an antenna gain of 2 dBi, features an additional joint, an SMA plug, and IP54 degree of protection. It is therefore ideally suited for direct mounting on the SCALANCE M routers, the CP1242-7 communications processor and the compact SIMATIC RTU3000C telecontrol units.
The ANT896-4ME antenna has an antenna gain of 3 dBi, an N-Connect socket and IP66 degree of protection. This antenna can be connected to the mobile wireless devices with an antenna connection cable from the SIMATIC NET range. This means the antenna can be positioned at the location that is best for radio transmission.
The ANT896-6MH antenna features an antenna gain of 5-6 dBi (depending on the frequency band used), an N-Connect socket, and IP69K degree of protection. It is especially designed for use in railway applications and complies with the standards required for such applications (including EN50155, EN45545-2). This antenna can be connected to mobile wireless devices with an antenna connection cable suitable for railway applications from the SIMATIC NET range. This means the antenna can be positioned at the location that is best for radio transmission.

ANT794-4MR

The tried-and-tested omnidirectional antenna ANT794-4MR supports the frequencies of the mobile wireless standards GSM (2G), UMTS (3G) and LTE (4G)¹⁾ and can be directly connected to all mobile wireless devices with the permanently installed 5 meter connection cable and the attached SMA plug. The cable is fastened with the installation materials supplied.

1) Please note LTE frequency bands.

ANT794-3M

The ANT794-3M flat panel antenna for the GSM (2G) mobile wireless has a directional radiation characteristic by design; it can be mounted on metallic and non-metallic surfaces to which it is either fastened with screws or attached with the supplied adhesive pad. The permanently installed 1.2 meter connection cable can be connected directly to all mobile wireless devices using the attached SMA plug.
