Overview

The Parsec Australian Shepherd PTA9AS4L4WD15B is the flagship 9:1 configuration of Parsec's low-profile 5G vehicle antenna. It packs four 4G/5G cellular elements for 4x4 MIMO, four Wi-Fi elements for 4x4 MIMO Wi-Fi and an L1/L5 dual-band GPS element into one IP67 housing. It installs through a single 1.5 in hole and has 15 ft cables and a black radome.

  • 9:1 configuration: four 4G/5G cellular elements, four Wi-Fi elements and one L1/L5 dual-band GPS element
  • 4x4 MIMO cellular across 617-894, 1710-2700, 3400-4000 and 5150-5925 MHz, or two simultaneous modems
  • 4x4 MIMO Wi-Fi across 2400-2483.5 and 4900-5900 MHz with 10 dBi peak gain
  • L1/L5 dual-band GPS with 28/26 dBic combined antenna and preamp gain
  • North American coverage including B14, B71, n41, n71, n77, CBRS and LAA
  • IP67, -40 °C to 85 °C, low-profile 13.5 x 2.45 x 2.01 in housing on a single 1.5 in hole
  • Nine 15 ft LSR200/LSR100 leads with SMA(M) and RP-SMA(M) connectors
  • Full 4x4 MIMO on both cellular and Wi-Fi gets the most from high-end 5G mobile routers

Parsec describes the Australian Shepherd as its best covert low-profile, high-performance 5G antenna. The PTA9AS4L4WD15B is the full 9:1 build, made for public safety and fleet vehicles running high-end mobile routers. The narrow, aerodynamic housing fits between roof ridges and pairs with modern low-profile police light bars without adding wind noise.

The four cellular elements cover 617-894, 1710-2700, 3400-4000 and 5150-5925 MHz. They support either full 4x4 MIMO on one modem or two cellular modems running simultaneously. North American coverage includes FirstNet B14, B71, n41, n71, n77, CBRS (B48/n48) and LAA (B46). Peak cellular gain reaches 7 dBi, and radiated efficiency is up to 70% in the 1710-2700 MHz range. The four Wi-Fi elements cover 2400-2483.5 and 4900-5900 MHz with 10 dBi peak gain for 4x4 MIMO Wi-Fi inside and around the vehicle.

This configuration uses Parsec's L1/L5 dual-band GPS element, which the family offers only in the 9:1 and 13:1 builds. Combined antenna and preamp gain is 28 dBic on L1 (1563-1587 MHz) and 26 dBic on L5 (1164-1189 MHz), with RHCP polarization. It suits routers and telematics units that use dual-band GNSS.

The antenna is IP67 rated, uses a UV-stabilised plastic radome and seals with an adhesive gasket. It operates from -40 °C to 85 °C, and Parsec states every unit is 100% tested. It includes nine 15 ft leads: LSR200 for cellular and Wi-Fi, and LSR100 for GPS. Cellular and GPS leads end in SMA(M) and Wi-Fi leads in RP-SMA(M). Parsec's datasheet and installation guide cover mounting and dimensions.

Ideal for

  • Police, fire and ambulance vehicles running 4x4 MIMO 5G routers on FirstNet or commercial networks
  • Dual-modem vehicle routers that need carrier failover
  • Fleet vehicles and city buses with 4x4 Wi-Fi and dual-band GNSS tracking
  • Remote surveillance and mobile broadband deployments
