Overview

The Parsec Border Collie PTA3BCLWG20B-TM2 is a compact 3-in-1 omni-directional antenna that combines one 4G/5G cellular element, one dual-band Wi-Fi element and an active L1 GPS element in a single IP67-rated black radome. It covers 617-5925 MHz for cellular and 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz for Wi-Fi, and mounts through one 1-inch hole. It suits kiosks, NEMA enclosures, IoT gateways and vehicles. This SKU has 20 ft cable runs.

  • 3:1 housing with one 4G/5G cellular element, one Wi-Fi element and one L1 GPS element
  • Cellular coverage from 617 MHz to 5925 MHz, including 600 MHz, C-band and CBRS
  • Dual-band Wi-Fi element (2.4 GHz and 4.9-5.9 GHz), 6 dBi peak gain, Wi-Fi 6 compatible
  • Active GPS with 33 dBic antenna plus preamp gain, RHCP
  • 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 cables
  • Cellular, Wi-Fi and GPS share one housing and one mounting hole, keeping kiosks, cabinets and vehicles clean.
  • Coverage from 600 MHz to 6 GHz on the cellular element includes the low-band and C-band spectrum used for 5G.

The Parsec Border Collie PTA3BCLWG20B-TM2 brings cellular, Wi-Fi and GPS antennas together in one 6.6 x 2.3 x 1.96 in housing. It suits devices that need a single external cellular antenna alongside a Wi-Fi antenna and a location signal. 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 has one element each for cellular, Wi-Fi and GPS, and each element has its own 20 ft cable.

The cellular element spans 617-698, 698-960, 1710-2700, 3300-4000 and 5150-5925 MHz. That range covers 600 MHz low band, C-band and CBRS, with typical peak gain of 3 to 8 dBi depending on band. The Wi-Fi element covers 2400-2483.5 MHz and 4900-5900 MHz at 6 dBi peak gain, and Parsec lists the family as Wi-Fi 6 compatible. The active GPS element is RHCP and delivers 33 dBic combined antenna and preamp gain.

The IP67-rated, power-wash-safe radome operates from -30 °C to 85 °C and needs only a single 1-inch mounting hole. Parsec offers optional pole brackets, an L bracket and a magnetic mount separately. It also publishes a datasheet, an installation guide and a part number legend for the Border Collie family.

Ideal for

  • Kiosks and digital signage that need cellular backhaul, local Wi-Fi and location
  • NEMA-enclosed IoT and industrial gateways
  • Vehicles that need an external cellular, Wi-Fi hotspot and GPS antenna
  • Remote video monitoring sites
