Marine Coastal Cellular Solution Installers’ Kit | Top Signal Series

Features of the Marine Coastal Cellular Signal Booster

• The most powerful cellular signal amplifier for multi-deck vessels, including coast guard cutters, naval support ships, research vessels, feeder vessels, and other similar ships.
• Combines a cell signal booster designed for large buildings with high-performance Poynting antennas for the best possible signal while underway and while moored.
• Ample uplink power (24–25 dBm) for a stronger connection to the cell tower and better performance in areas with weak outside cellular signal.
• Built-in XDR (eXtended Dynamic Range) technology prevents overload and shutdown, no matter how strong the outside signal is.
• The cellular signal booster’s color LCD touchscreen displays the status and gain of each cellular band and allows you adjust its settings.
• The outside donor antenna is the Poynting OMNI-493 29.5″ high-gain marine antenna, with a UV‑stable ASA radome and 6 to 9 dBi of gain.
• Six inside Poynting PUCK-1 omnidirectional dome antennas provide signal to cellular phones and devices. The small PUCK-1 antenna has six mounting options and up to 7 dBi of gain.
• This installers’ kit includes a 500-foot spool of unterminated 400-type coaxial cable so you can cut custom-length runs of cable inside your vessel.

The Marine Coastal Cellular Signal Booster improves cellular reception for ships and vessels that are moored and underway. Stay connected throughout your vessel while sailing in coastal waters, in harbors, at anchor, and while docked. Experience faster 5G/4G data and fewer dropped calls, undelivered texts, and missed email messages.

High-performance Poynting antennas

The Marine Coastal Cellular Signal Booster includes an outside marine antenna for sending and receiving cell signal to and from cell towers and six inside antennas for broadcasting amplified cell signal in the compartments in your ship.

Poynting OMNI-493

The Poynting antenna connects to a 1″ × 14 thread marine mount (left) or to a 1½″‑2″ pole (right). (Click to enlarge.)

The 29.5″ Poynting OMNI-493 is an ultra-wideband, high performance, omnidirectional antenna that covers 4G/LTE and 5G bands with excellent balanced gain across all frequencies. It operates from 617 to 3800 MHz with a gain of 6 to 9 dBi. The OMNI-493 is IP 68-rated for protection against water immersion and dust and is rated for wind conditions up to 100 ᴍᴘʜ (160 ᴋᴘʜ / 80 kts.).

This antenna attaches to a standard 1″ × 14 thread marine mount with an exit hole through which you can run a 1′ TS-195 jumper cable (included) and connect to a 400 coax cable that runs to the booster. The antenna also mounts to poles or posts 1½″ to 2″ in diameter.

Poynting PUCK-1

The Poynting PUCK-1 antenna has six mounting options for the greatest flexibility of installation. (Click to enlarge.)

The Poynting PUCK-1 is a compact (3.9″ ᴅ × 1.4″ ʜ) omnidirectional dome antenna with six flexible mounting options, including magnetic and adhesive bases. It has 7 dBi of gain on high-band cellular frequencies (1710–2700 MHz) and nominal gain (−1 dBi) on low-band frequencies (698–960 MHz). It should be mounted to a horizontal surface (like a deckhead) in the center of the compartment where you want to improve cellular signal.

The PUCK-1 has 6.5′ of thin RTK031 coax cable, terminating in a 0.35″ SMA-male connector that can be easily fed between decks. From there, it attaches to the longer, thicker 400-type coax cables that run to the cell signal booster.
