Overview

The Parsec Border Collie PTA3BC2LG20B-TM2 is a compact 3-in-1 omni-directional antenna that combines two 4G/5G cellular elements for 2x2 MIMO with an active L1 GPS element. It covers 617 MHz to 5925 MHz on the cellular ports and uses an IP67-rated black radome that installs through a single 1-inch hole. It is built for kiosks, NEMA enclosures, IoT gateways, remote video monitoring and first-responder vehicles. This SKU has 20 ft cable runs.

  • 3:1 housing with two 4G/5G cellular elements (2x2 MIMO) and one L1 GPS element
  • Cellular coverage from 617 MHz to 5925 MHz, including 600 MHz, C-band and CBRS
  • Typical cellular peak gain of 3 to 8 dBi depending on band
  • Active GPS with 33 dBic antenna plus preamp gain and RHCP polarization
  • IP67-rated, power-wash-safe black radome, 6.6 x 2.3 x 1.96 in
  • Single 1-inch hole mounting, omni-directional pattern
  • 20 ft cable runs
  • One compact antenna handles both 2x2 MIMO cellular and GPS, so the enclosure or vehicle needs fewer roof and panel penetrations.

The Parsec Border Collie PTA3BC2LG20B-TM2 gives a cellular router or gateway a single external antenna for both its 2x2 MIMO 4G/5G connection and its GPS receiver. Parsec designed the Border Collie PTA Series for first responders, remote video monitoring, self-service kiosks, NEMA enclosures, IoT and industrial networks. This 3:1 configuration places two cellular elements and one L1 GPS element in a 6.6 x 2.3 x 1.96 in housing, and each element has its own 20 ft cable.

The cellular elements cover 617-698 MHz, 698-960 MHz, 1710-2700 MHz, 3300-4000 MHz and 5150-5925 MHz. That span includes 600 MHz low band, C-band (n77) and CBRS (B48/n48). Parsec rates typical peak gain from 3 dBi at 600 MHz up to 8 dBi at 5150-5925 MHz. Isolation between the two cellular elements reaches 24 dB in the upper bands, which supports MIMO performance. The GPS element is right-hand circularly polarized and delivers 33 dBic combined antenna and preamp gain, with 12 dB filter rejection at 1625 MHz.

The radome is IP67-rated and power-wash safe. Operating temperature is -30 °C to 85 °C. Installation requires only a single 1-inch mounting hole. For pole, L-bracket or magnetic mounting, Parsec offers optional brackets and mounts sold separately. Parsec publishes a datasheet, an installation guide and a part number legend for the Border Collie family.
