ECOM9-5900 (Magnetic-Mount DSRC/C-V2X)

High-Gain Magnetic-Mount ITS Antenna


The ECOM9-5900 is a 9 dBi magnetic-mount vehicle antenna for temporary 5.9 GHz DSRC, C-V2X, and C-ITS field installations.

Key Features

  • Delivers 9 dBi omnidirectional performance across the 5.9 GHz band.
  • Moves between compatible vehicles without permanent mounting holes.
  • Protects painted surfaces with a scratch-resistant magnetic base.
  • Operates without an RF ground plane on suitable metal surfaces.
  • Keeps field setups portable with an attached 10-foot cable.

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

Product Description

9 dBi 5.9 GHz Performance Without a Permanent Mount.

The ECOM9-5900 is a magnetic-mount vehicle antenna for temporary connected-vehicle and intelligent transportation system field installations. It provides 9 dBi omnidirectional gain across 5850–5925 MHz and can move between compatible vehicles without drilling a permanent mounting hole.

High-Gain 5.9 GHz Connectivity: The antenna delivers 9 dBi omnidirectional gain across 5850–5925 MHz for compatible DSRC, C-V2X, and C-ITS radios.

Relocatable Without Drilling: The commercial magnetic base attaches to suitable metal vehicle surfaces and moves with the test equipment without requiring a permanent mounting hole.

Ground-Plane-Independent RF Design: The antenna operates without an RF ground plane, although its magnetic base still requires a compatible metal mounting surface.

Protects Vehicle Surfaces: Scratch-resistant material beneath the magnetic base helps protect painted surfaces when the antenna is installed or repositioned.

Portable Radio Connection: The attached 10-foot LL-195 cable with an SMA plug keeps the antenna and feed line together as the test setup moves between vehicles.

The ECOM9-5900 provides a practical external antenna for temporary 5.9 GHz field testing without committing each vehicle to a permanent installation.

Ideal Applications

  • Connected-vehicle field trials
  • Temporary DSRC installations
  • C-V2X and C-ITS testing
  • Relocatable vehicle test equipment
  • Compatible metal vehicle surfaces
