Product Information
Full details
The Teltonika Networks PR1KRD30 is a compact, high-performance dual-band magnetic antenna engineered for IT professionals and network administrators seeking to improve wireless signal reception for compatible industrial routers and gateways. It provides reliable connectivity across both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, making it an excellent upgrade for localized network deployments where signal stability is paramount. Please note that this antenna is intended for internal or controlled-environment use, as its IP50 rating does not provide protection against water or heavy dust ingress.

FAQs
Can I use this antenna outdoors?
No. The antenna has an IP50 rating, meaning it is protected against dust but not water or moisture. Using it outdoors may lead to hardware failure.
Is this antenna compatible with non-Teltonika devices?
Yes, as long as the device utilizes an RP-SMA female connector and supports the 2.4/5 GHz frequency ranges.
What does the 3 dBi gain mean?
It refers to the antenna's ability to focus the radio signal; 3 dBi provides a good balance between signal range and a wide coverage area.
Can I extend the 1.5-meter cable?
It is not recommended, as adding extension cables can introduce signal loss and interfere with the impedance match of the antenna system.
What is the polarization type?
This antenna features vertical polarization, which is standard for most omnidirectional Wi-Fi applications.
Troubleshooting
Signal quality remains poor after installation.
Ensure the RP-SMA connector is fully tightened and that the antenna is not obstructed by thick metal or concrete walls.
Magnetic base does not hold firmly.
Verify that the surface is made of a ferrous metal; the magnet will not adhere to aluminum, plastic, or stainless steel.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Quick and simple magnetic installation
- Compact form factor fits in tight spaces
- Wide operating temperature range for industrial use
- Dual-band support covers most common wireless networks
Cons
- Not suitable for outdoor use due to IP50 rating
- 1.5-meter cable length may limit placement distance from the router
- Limited to vertical polarization
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install the PR1KRD30, simply attach the RP-SMA male connector to the corresponding female port on your Teltonika router or network device, ensuring it is tightened securely by hand. Position the magnetic base on a clean, flat magnetic metal surface. Avoid bending the RG174 cable at sharp angles, as this can degrade signal quality over time. Since the unit carries an IP50 rating, keep the device clean and dry; if dusting is required, use a dry cloth. Do not attempt to modify the antenna or the cable, as this will compromise the impedance matching and signal performance.
