II Permanent Mount
Combination Antenna – Cellular, WiFi, GNSS
The Coach
™
II dual-carrier antenna platform supports the high speed requirements of complex
RF communication systems used for Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) and Industrial IoT
applications. These low-profile, high endurance antennas feature four 5G elements compatible with
the world’s leading multi-carrier cellular routers that support 600 MHz to 6 GHz frequencies. The
platform also incorporates 802.11ax WiFi MIMO connectivity, with four dual band 2.4/5 GHz WiFi
elements supporting DSRC 5.99 GHz applications. In addition, PCTEL’s proprietary high-rejection
multi-GNSS technology is included for high precision tracking and asset management.
