Quectel Launches 5G, 4G, Wi-Fi & LoRa IoT Antennas

Quectel

Quectel Wireless Solutions, a global IoT solutions provider, announced the launch of a series of new antennas to further expand Quectel’s global antenna offerings for customers. The new antennas include the YECT005W1A and YECT004W1A 5G Ultra-Wideband Antennas, the YEMN302Q1A Combo Antenna Series , the YECT028W1A 5G Antennas and YECT003W1A 4G Antennas, the YFNF915F3AM and YFNF868F3AM LoRa Antennas , the YFBC001WWA Wi-Fi Antenna , and the YFGC007E3A GNSS Antenna.

“We are excited to introduce the latest additions to our antenna portfolio,” said Norbert Muhrer, President and CSO, Quectel Wireless Solutions. “We are constantly working to ensure that our antenna product line complements our extensive module portfolio and meets our customers’ requirements. Our antennas are optimized and pre-tested with our module portfolio, making the design, integration and testing process faster and easier for our customers.”

The YECT004W1A and YECT005W1A 5G Ultra Wideband Antennas provide broad coverage from 600 to 6000 MHz while offering backward compatibility to support 4G, 3G, and 2G networks, as well as LTE Cat M and Narrowband IoT (NB-IoT). The antenna is terminated with an SMA male connector and is ideal for applications requiring a discreet installation. This low-profile, end-mount omnidirectional antenna is easy to install, with maximum durability ensured by its PC + ABS housing. Both antennas measure 135 mm × 15.6 mm × 13 mm, while the YECT004W1A version is an IP67-rated product.

The YEMN302Q1A combination antenna series is capable of integrating a variety of antennas, including 5G, 4G, GNSS, and Wi-Fi antennas, to support communication functions such as 5G MIMO, 4G, GNSS, and Wi-Fi. These antenna units can be mounted on device surfaces using screws, adhesive, or other methods, and support multiple connector types and cable lengths. This series provides a more flexible and reliable high-performance antenna solution for outdoor applications.

The YECT028W1A external 5G antenna covers the sub-6GHz 5G NR frequency bands and is compatible with 4G/3G/2G/LPWA bands. Featuring high efficiency and gain, it is an ideal omnidirectional antenna solution to ensure high-speed data transmission. The YECT003W1A external 4G antenna covers the main 4G LTE bands and is also compatible with 3G/2G/LPWA bands.

The YFNF915F3AM and YFNF868F3AM LoRa antennas are compatible with Quectel’s Industrial, Scientific and Medical (ISM) range, making them ideal for smart metering, remote monitoring and telematics applications. The YFNF915F3AM antenna measures 120.2 mm × 25 mm and covers 910 to 930 MHz, while the YFNF868F3AM antenna measures 70 mm × 40 mm and covers 863 to 870 MHz. Both antennas come with a 150 mm cable, terminated with an IPEX MHF 1 connector, and are available with custom cable lengths and connectors.

The Quectel YFBC001WWA is a compact, mountable ceramic chip SMT antenna designed for Wi-Fi applications. Measuring only 1.6mm x 0.8mm x 0.4mm, it is perfect for devices with limited space, such as Wi-Fi, WLAN, BT, Zigbee and 802.11 endpoints.

The YFGC007E3A GNSS antenna is a compact unit with a PCB and ceramic loop. Optimized for GNSS L1 and L5 frequencies, it measures 50mm x 50mm x 14.5mm and operates in the 1164-1189MHz and 1559-1606MHz bands. An IPEX MHF 1 connector completes the package.

Quectel also supports global regional antennas and offers custom antenna design and testing services using the latest technologies and materials to achieve a high-performance wireless network. In addition, Quectel helps its customers ensure that their antennas comply with the necessary network certification and approval requirements for their devices.
