RFI CD7195 – 3G+4G+4GX Bullbar Mobile Antenna

Multiband 700-2700MHz

Cutting edge printed circuit board design

Supplied with 5m low loss coaxial cable, with female FME connector.

The evolution continues with the release of the CD7195 4G LTE cellular mobile antenna. In response to the lightning fast roll-out of Telstra 4GX and Optus 4G+ services nation wide, we approached RFI to design a vehicle mounted antenna capable of operating on the new 700MHz LTE network

Part of the challenge was to improve gain on regular 1800MHz 4G services, and provide some operation on the new 2600MHz network to ensure the antenna would remain futureproof for Cat-11 LTE devices capable of providing 450-600Mbps by aggregating 700+1800+2600MHz bands together

Like the CD2195, the secret to its outstanding performance lies in the use of the patented Meander™ radiating elements. These Meander™ circuits are coupled together to deliver extraordinary consistency in gain, coverage pattern and bandwidth

The result is a unique antenna, housed in the one unit, able to operate across all mobile phone networks globally. The CD7195 provides an impressive 6.5dBi gain on lower bands such as 3G, Next-G, and 4GX, as well as a modest 4.5dBi gain on regular 4G bands

This antenna does not provide MIMO – if you require the best possible Internet performance you should use two antennas, separated by around 300mm.

As a rule of thumb: the higher the dBi, the flatter the angle the antenna can receive from

In hilly areas cell towers are usually located at the peak of the hill, and if you’ve got a very high gain antenna (like 9dBi) chances are the antenna won’t have a tall enough angle to receive from the tower

The CD7195’s 6.5dBi gain is the perfect compromise between high/low gain, making it the perfect antenna for travelling through a range of different areas – powerful enough to give you great signal when in remote areas, but low enough to work when travelling through hilly ranges

With a 13mm stud mount on an heavy duty black electropolished stainless steel spring, these antennas may be installed on a number of mounting brackets and are ideal for installations in commercial vehicles, four wheel drives and trucks

The CD7195’s fully ground-independent design results in true 6.5dBi gain regardless of mounting position.
