OMNI-0291 Marine & Coastal LTE Antenna
The Poynting OMNI-0291 is a high-gain, omnidirectional antenna designed for boats, yachts and coastal facilities. It provides 7 dBi gain across 450–2700 MHz; with its IP68 housing, salt-water and UV resistance and standard 1-inch marine mount, it is built for harsh marine conditions.
What Is the Poynting OMNI-0291?
The Poynting OMNI-0291 is a single-port (SISO) omnidirectional LTE antenna designed for marine and coastal applications. With multiple dipoles and Poynting's patented feed network, it delivers balanced gain and a stable radiation pattern over a wide frequency range.
The antenna covers LTE bands from 450 MHz to 2700 MHz. Thanks to the long range of low frequencies, the 450 MHz band at the bottom end is used in some countries for coastal and maritime communication, private networks and CDMA450/LTE450 applications.
- High-performance omnidirectional marine antenna
- 1-inch (14 TPI) marine standard adapter bracket included
- IP68; UV, salt water and storm resistant, flame retardant
- Optional 316 stainless steel mounting brackets
- N-type (female) connector
5G note: The OMNI-0291's frequency range ends at 2700 MHz. It covers the 700 MHz (n28) 5G band but not the 3.5 GHz (n78) band. If 3.5 GHz 5G is to be used, choose the Narwhal series covering 617–4200 MHz or the OMNI-0493 covering 617–6000 MHz.
Poynting OMNI-0291 Applications
Applications that need a stable LTE connection at sea and in coastal areas with weak signal.
Yachts and boats
Internet connectivity under way and at anchor.
Ferries and ships
Passenger and operational communication.
Offshore platforms
LTE access at facilities far from shore.
IoT and M2M
Marine and coastal monitoring devices.
Weak signal
Improving link reliability along the coastline.
MIMO Setup with the Poynting OMNI-0291
The OMNI-0291 is a single-port antenna. A 2×2 MIMO router uses two antennas, and a router with two 2×2 modems uses four.
When more than one OMNI-0291 is used, the spacing between the antennas determines isolation, diversity gain and MIMO performance. In the example layout, the four antennas sit on two arms of the mast at two different heights, and each modem is connected to the two antennas furthest apart from each other.

Frequently Asked Questions About the Poynting OMNI-0291
Does the OMNI-0291 support 5G?
Partly. It covers the 700 MHz (n28) 5G band, but since its frequency range ends at 2700 MHz it does not cover the 3.5 GHz (n78) band. For 3.5 GHz, the Narwhal series or the OMNI-0493 is recommended.
Does it come with a cable?
No. The antenna comes with an N-type (female) connector and no cable. A low-loss cable should be chosen to suit the cable length on the boat; on long runs, a thick low-loss cable prevents gain from being lost.
Does it fit the 1-inch mount on my boat?
Yes. The antenna fits a standard 1-inch (14 TPI) marine mount, and the adapter bracket is included in the box.
My router has two antenna inputs; how many OMNI-0291 antennas do I need?
Two. The OMNI-0291 is single-port; for a 2×2 MIMO router, two antennas are used with sufficient spacing between them.
