Product Information For The Beacon 5G Directional Cellular Antenna w/ Suction Cups

Beacon Directional Antenna – Precision Signal Boosting, Anywhere You Need It

Looking for a powerful, 5G ready, adaptable antenna that delivers strong cellular signal - whether inside your apartment or mounted outside your home or office? The Beacon Directional Antenna is your go-to solution. Designed for ultimate versatility, the Beacon excels in urban apartments, remote farms, mobile camper setups, and commercial buildings alike - wherever strong and stable connectivity is needed.

Why choose the Beacon? This high-performance antenna offers up to +7.5 dBi gain across a wide 617–4000 MHz frequency range, supporting 4G LTE and 5G networks on all major South African carriers, including Vodacom, MTN, Cell C, and Telkom. Its directional beam focuses signal reception from a specific tower - dramatically improving data speeds, reducing dropped calls, and enhancing voice quality. Unlike omni antennas that receive signal from every direction, the Beacon locks in where it matters most: the source.

What sets the Beacon apart is its unmatched flexibility: Its sleek, compact design and included suction cup mount make it perfect for window installation in apartments, offices, and even caravans - no tools needed. With its durable IP65 weather-resistant casing and adjustable mounting bracket, it’s also built to withstand rain, wind, and extreme temperatures - making it ideal for permanent roof or pole mounts on lodges, barns, or rural homes.

Key benefits: From high-rise buildings to rugged off-grid locations, the Beacon adapts to your needs. Install with suction cups to smooth indoor surfaces, or mount it outdoors to a pole, wall, or bracket - point it toward the cell tower for best results. Works with all 50-ohm signal boosters and routers. Choose your preferred cable length and connector type for easy integration into new or existing setups.

Installation note: Swivel adjustment makes it easy to fine-tune directionality—especially valuable in challenging coverage zones. Whether you're enhancing a small space or maximizing your booster’s reach, the Beacon makes it simple and effective.

If versatility, strength, and style matter, the Beacon Directional Antenna is the perfect companion for better signal - indoors or out, urban or remote.

Product FAQ

1 What makes the Beacon 5G antenna different from a standard antenna?

The Beacon is a two-way, directional antenna that covers a wide frequency range (617–4000 MHz) and offers up to +7.5 dBi gain. This makes it ideal for 4G LTE and 5G signal boosting, outperforming simple omni-directional factory antennas.

2 Where and how should I install the Beacon for best performance?

It features a suction-cup mount that allows no-tool installation on windows or smooth surfaces—perfect for apartments, RVs, or temporary setups. Alternatively, you can secure it to a pole or wall. The adjustable swivel lets you point the antenna toward the nearest cell tower for optimal reception.

3 Which cable and connector options are available?

Three configurations cater to different situations:

The 90cm pigtail with N‑Female for custom setups

1.8m cable with N‑Female for outdoor installations

6m cable with N‑Male for indoor routing

It uses 50 Ohm impedance and standard N‑type connectors compatible with most cell signal
boosters.

4 Is the Beacon suitable for outdoor use and tough weather?

Yes—the radome is ABS (white) and the unit is rated IP65 for resistance to dust and water jets. It also functions down to –55 °C and up to +60 °C, making it suitable for a wide range of climates.

5 What devices is the Beacon compatible with?
