Product Overview

The AXIS CLR5G is a low-profile stealth antenna engineered for 4G and 5G mobile phone and data applications where improved signal reception is required without compromising vehicle appearance. The 11.5cm compact black design blends into vehicle rooflines, providing discreet installation compared to traditional longer whip antennas that draw attention or create clearance issues in car parks. The 3dBi gain offers moderate signal boost - sufficient to improve reception in fringe coverage areas, regional locations between towers, or vehicles with tinted windows and metallic coatings that block internal phone signals. The wide frequency coverage spans 700-2700-3400-3800MHz, encompassing the primary Australian 4G LTE bands (700MHz Band 28, 850MHz Band 5, 900MHz Band 8, 1800MHz Band 3, 2100MHz Band 1, 2600MHz Band 7) plus emerging 5G bands (3400-3800MHz). The included 3-metre coaxial cable with SMA male connector allows mounting flexibility - install the antenna on the vehicle roof for optimal 360-degree coverage while routing the cable to dash-mounted signal boosters, cellular modems, or mobile WiFi routers inside the cabin. The FME termination provides standard connection to most commercial mobile phone signal boosters and 4G/5G routers used in vehicles for improved connectivity.

Important Notes:

Signal Booster Usually Required: This antenna improves signal reception but typically connects to signal boosters or cellular modems rather than directly to mobile phones.

3dBi Moderate Gain: Provides improved reception in marginal coverage areas but won't overcome complete dead zones without tower coverage.

Frequency Band Verification: Check your mobile carrier's frequency bands. Antenna covers most Australian bands but international frequency allocations may differ.

Professional Installation Recommended: Proper roof mounting and cable routing ensures optimal performance and prevents water ingress through mounting holes.

Ground Plane Required: Mount on metal vehicle roof for best performance. Fibreglass roofs may require ground plane kit.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Will this antenna improve my mobile phone signal directly?

A: This antenna typically connects to mobile phone signal boosters or 4G/5G routers rather than directly to phones. Most modern phones don't have external antenna connectors. The antenna mounts externally (roof) to capture stronger signal, connects via 3m cable to a signal booster inside the vehicle, and the booster rebroadcasts improved signal to your phone wirelessly. Alternatively, connect to 4G/5G WiFi routers providing internet connectivity for multiple devices.

Q: What's the difference between 3dBi and higher gain antennas?

A: 3dBi provides moderate signal improvement (approximately 2x signal strength) sufficient for marginal coverage areas. Higher gain antennas (5dBi, 7dBi, 9dBi) offer better range but are physically longer - 5dBi antennas typically 30-50cm, 9dBi antennas 100cm+. The CLR5G prioritizes discreet installation over maximum gain. If you frequently operate in very remote areas, consider higher gain antennas despite increased length.

Q: Which Australian mobile carriers does this work with?

A: The 700-3800MHz frequency range covers primary bands used by Telstra, Optus, and Vodafone for 4G LTE and 5G services. Specifically includes Band 28 (700MHz), Band 5 (850MHz), Band 8 (900MHz), Band 3 (1800MHz), Band 1 (2100MHz), Band 7 (2600MHz), and 5G frequencies (3400-3800MHz). All three major Australian carriers use combinations of these bands depending on location.

Q: Can I mount this on a fibreglass canopy or roof?

A: Performance degrades significantly without proper metal ground plane. Fibreglass doesn't provide adequate ground plane for optimal antenna performance. If mounting on fibreglass, install a ground plane kit (metal sheet) underneath the antenna mount. Best results come from mounting on vehicle metal roof where the entire roof acts as ground plane providing 360-degree coverage.

Q: Do I need a signal booster, or can I use just the antenna?

A: You need signal booster or 4G/5G router for this antenna to improve phone reception. The antenna alone captures external signal but requires booster equipment to amplify and rebroadcast to your phone, or router equipment to convert cellular signal to WiFi. Popular combinations include antenna + vehicle signal booster (wireless rebroadcast to phones) or antenna + 4G router (WiFi internet for laptops/tablets/phones).
