Inside one IP68 enclosure: four 5G\/LTE elements for 4x4 MIMO bonding, two dual-band Wi-Fi elements (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz), and one high-sensitivity GPS receiver. Wide-band coverage from 600 to 6000 MHz captures every commercial cellular band including B71, C-band (3.3 - 4.2 GHz), and the 5G NR mid-band tier where most UK and EU networks now sit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBuilt for the field, not the lab\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 42G housing is rated IP68 for permanent outdoor exposure: rain, salt spray, dust, UV, the lot. Low-profile black or white finish (this listing is the black variant). Drilled, panel, wall or pole mounted with the right adapter. The 6.5 ft \/ 2 m cable run is the standard length we ship for fleet installations and roof-mount fixed deployments. For longer runs, look at the 16 ft variant (white only) or use QMA pigtails plus an EXC-SQ-15 extension cable to keep insertion loss low.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 8.2 dBi peak gain on the LTE\/5G elements gives a real-world performance lift in marginal coverage areas, and the 4x4 MIMO architecture is what unlocks the high-throughput potential of MAX BR1 Pro 5G, MAX BR2 Pro 5G, MAX Transit Pro E, and any other 4x4-capable Peplink router. Pair it with anything less than 4 cellular ports and you'll only use part of its capability.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFeature\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCellular elements\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4 x LTE\/5G, 4x4 MIMO\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWi-Fi elements\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 x dual-band 2.4 GHz \/ 5 GHz, 2x2 MIMO\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGPS\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 x active GPS receiver, high-gain LNA\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFrequency range\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e600 - 6000 MHz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5G NR support\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes; including C-band (3.3 - 4.2 GHz)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCellular gain\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8.2 dBi (peak)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eB71 support\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIP rating\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIP68\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCellular and GPS connectors\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSMA male\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWi-Fi connectors\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRP-SMA male\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCable length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6.5 ft \/ 2 m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlack\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMount\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePanel, wall, pole; compatible with ACW-882 stainless steel L-mount\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSKU\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eANT-MB-42G-S-B-6\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it fits\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the antenna we put on broadcast OB vans, on emergency response vehicles, on transit buses bonding multiple SIMs for passenger Wi-Fi, on vessel masts and antenna arches, on commercial rooftops feeding fixed-site cellular failover. Anywhere you need a single antenna housing to handle cellular, Wi-Fi, and GPS without compromising on any of the three. For installs that need separate cellular and Wi-Fi mounting points, or where Wi-Fi is handled by a dedicated AP, look at the Mobility 40G (4x cellular plus GPS, no Wi-Fi).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eRecommended add-ons\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eACW-882\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stainless steel L-mount specifically for the Mobility 42G; the right call for marine and high-vibration installs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eACW-661\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3M double-sided adhesive antenna mounting gasket; surface-mount without drilling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eACW-881 \/ ACW-884\u003c\/strong\u003e: Wall and pole L-mount kits, white and black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eACW-651 \/ ACW-653\u003c\/strong\u003e: Maritime adapters for 1 inch 14TPI and 1 1\/4 inch 11TPI mounting threads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's the difference between -B-1, -B-6 and -W-16?\u003c\/strong\u003e The third group in the SKU is the cable length. -1 = 1 ft \/ 0.3 m pigtail, -6 = 6.5 ft \/ 2 m (this listing), -16 = 16 ft \/ 4.8 m (white only). Choose by run distance from antenna mount point to router. Long runs over 4 m should use a QMA-terminated pigtail (Q-prefix variant) plus an EXC-SQ-15 extension to minimise insertion loss.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes it support 4x4 MIMO 5G?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes. The 42G has four discrete 5G\/LTE elements with cross-polarisation, designed specifically for 4x4 MIMO bonding on routers like the BR1 Pro 5G, BR2 Pro 5G, and Balance 310X 5G. C-band (3.3 - 4.2 GHz) coverage is included.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill it work with non-Peplink routers?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes. The 42G uses standard SMA male (cellular and GPS) and RP-SMA male (Wi-Fi) connectors. It will work with any router that uses those connector standards. We've installed them on Cradlepoint and Sierra Wireless gear without issue.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I paint it?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, but only with non-metallic, non-conductive paint. Metallic particles will degrade the antenna's performance significantly. Avoid conductive polymers and most automotive paints. Standard acrylic or non-metallic spray paints are fine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I mount it on a boat?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 42G has an M16 mounting thread on the base. The ACW-651 adapts it to a 1 inch 14TPI female fitting (the most common UK and US marine mast standard) and the ACW-653 adapts it to 1 1\/4 inch 11TPI. Pair either with the ACW-882 stainless steel L-mount for the most durable marine install.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePeplink Platinum Partner support\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Tech Factory ships the Mobility 42G globally from our supply chain.
