BPN942 (4× 5G/LTE, 2× Wi-Fi, GPS)

Private Network Base Station Antenna


Compact, pipe-mounted base station antenna for private networks, combining 4x 5G/LTE MIMO, 2x Wi-Fi 6E and active GPS in one housing. Covers CBRS, Band 71 and FirstNet Band 14 for multiband routers, gateways and small cells.

Key Features

  • 4x 5G/LTE MIMO: Four wideband cellular elements from 617 to 6000 MHz support 4×4 MIMO on 5G and LTE equipment.
  • Wi-Fi 6E Ready: Two dual-band Wi-Fi elements cover 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz and the 6 GHz band up to 7.2 GHz.
  • Active GPS: A built-in 26 dB LNA delivers a strong positioning signal to the radio.
  • Private Network Bands: Covers CBRS, Band 71 and FirstNet Band 14 for enterprise and public safety deployments.
  • Integrated Pipe Mount: Aluminum mount slides over 1-1/4 in conduit and secures with set screws, with an optional side-pole bracket.
  • Rugged Outdoor Housing: UV-inhibitive ASA radome rated for −40 to +80 °C operation.
  • Configurable Cabling: Cable type, length and connectors can be tailored to each installation.

Customization: Cable type, cable length, and connectors can be configured for specific installation requirements.

Product Description

The BPN942 is a seven-feed base station antenna that brings cellular, Wi-Fi and GPS connectivity together in a single compact housing. Built for private LTE and 5G networks, it gives routers, gateways and small cells multiband coverage from one pipe-mounted unit.

Four cellular elements span the low and mid bands used by 5G and LTE, so one antenna can serve CBRS private networks, extended-range Band 71 coverage and FirstNet public safety service without changing hardware as network plans evolve. The 4×4 MIMO configuration lets compatible radios use spatial multiplexing for higher throughput and more resilient links in busy or obstructed environments.

Dual Wi-Fi 6E elements let the same site provide local wireless access across 2.4, 5 and 6 GHz, while the active GPS element supplies positioning to equipment that needs it. Consolidating all seven feeds in one radome reduces the antennas, brackets and cable runs at each location, making installation faster and sites easier to maintain.

For sites that need fewer ports, the BPN family also includes the BPN941 with one Wi-Fi 6E element and the BPN940 without Wi-Fi. A BPNG942 version supports multi-constellation GNSS.

Ideal Applications

  • Private LTE and 5G networks
  • CBRS enterprise deployments
  • FirstNet public safety sites
  • Small cells and network densification
  • Fleet yards and transit depots
  • Roadside and smart city infrastructure
  • Industrial and utility gateways
