SMWG-304 (2xWiFi, GNSS)

Dual-Role Wi-Fi, DSRC, and GNSS Antenna


The SMWG-304 is a ground-plane-independent vehicle antenna with separate 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi and dual-band Wi-Fi/DSRC paths plus active GNSS.

Key Features

  • Dedicates one path to 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi.
  • Adds a separate dual-band path for Wi-Fi or 5.9 GHz DSRC.
  • Expands mounting options without requiring an RF ground plane.
  • Integrates GNSS and IP67 protection in one compact surface mount.

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

Product Description

Separate Wireless Roles. Flexible Vehicle Placement.

The SMWG-304 serves mobile systems that need a dedicated 2.4 GHz connection and a second path for dual-band Wi-Fi or DSRC. Active GNSS and ground-plane-independent operation extend the three-port antenna to a wider range of mounting surfaces.

Independent Wireless Connections: One element is dedicated to 2400–2485 MHz, while the second covers 2.4–2.5 and 4.9–6.0 GHz for compatible dual-band Wi-Fi or DSRC equipment.

No RF Ground Plane Required: The antenna can operate without relying on the mounting surface as an RF ground plane, expanding placement options on nonmetal panels and enclosures.

Active GNSS Built In: A separate GNSS element supports navigation, tracking, and timing without adding another exterior antenna.

Compact Environmental Protection: The IP67-rated UV-resistant ASA housing helps shield all three connections from dust and water in vehicle installations.

The SMWG-304 keeps two wireless roles and GNSS separate while allowing more flexibility in selecting a vehicle mounting surface.

Ideal Applications

  • Vehicle Wi-Fi systems
  • DSRC and connected-transportation equipment
  • Public-safety data networks
  • Nonmetal vehicle panels
  • Mobile tracking platforms
