Datasheet ANT-LTE-RPC-ccc LTE/LPWA Embedded Dipole Antenna The ANT-LTE-RPC-ccc (RPC) is a rigid, adhesive- backed, multiband cellular and cellular IoT antenna (LTE-M and NB-IoT) for embedded applications U.FL requiring excellent 600 MHz , 700 MHz and 800 MHz band performance. The RPC also supports low-power, wide-area (LPWA) networking at 868 MHz and 915 MHz, 2.4 GHz ISM, and global Cut End navigation systems (GNSS/GPS). The RPC provides a ground plane independent dipole embedded antenna solution comparable in performance to an external antenna. The RPCs adhesive backing makes it easy to mount in plastic enclosures, while allowing an environmentally sealed enclosure and protection from tampering or accidental antenna damage. Connection is made to the radio via a 100 mm long, 1.13 mm coaxial cable terminated in an MHF1/U.FL-compatible plug connector or unterminated, trimmed for PCB mounting.

ANT-LTE-RPC-ccc Product Dimensions Antenna Mounting The ANT-LTE-RPC-ccc is an adhesive backed, embedded antenna that may be permanently installed onto a wide variety of materials. The adhesive backing is 3M 9888T, which provides outstanding adhesion to low surface energy plastics. 3M 9888T features a medium-soft acrylic pressure sensitive adhesive system. The key characteristics of this adhesive include a combination of high initial adhesion and good shear and bonding power to a wide variety of materials, including many plastics including polyethylene and polypropylene. 3M 9888T is UL-recognized (File MH28421). Please see UL listing for details. 2
