Cellular Vehicle Antenna, 5.5dBi, 698–3800MHz
The RFI CD8194-B is a heavy-duty vehicle antenna for 4G LTE and 5G cellular connectivity, with a black spring base built to survive daily fleet use.
Overview
The RFI CD8194-B is a wideband cellular antenna covering 698–3800MHz, the full range used by 4G LTE and 5G networks in New Zealand. With 5.5dBi gain and an omni-directional pattern, it's built for permanent mounting on commercial, emergency service, and fleet vehicles that need dependable mobile broadband.
It ships with a 5-metre low-loss coaxial cable terminated in an SMA male connector, and mounts through a single 13–16mm hole, no separate mounting base required.
The black stainless steel spring base absorbs impacts from branches, low clearances, and rough terrain, protecting both the antenna and your vehicle's bodywork.
Key Features
- Full 698–3800MHz coverage with no tuning required means one antenna handles 4G LTE and 5G NR straight out of the box, for fleets that don't want to manage multiple antennas per network generation.
- 5.5dBi gain, omni-directional means stronger, more stable signal in fringe and rural coverage areas, for vehicles travelling through the Bay of Plenty backcountry or further afield.
- Black stainless steel spring base means the antenna flexes and recovers from branch strikes and low-clearance knocks instead of snapping, for fleet vehicles working off-road or on tight sites.
- 5-metre low-loss cable with SMA male connector means a straightforward run from roof or bonnet to router or modem without extra adapters, for installers wiring up vehicle routers and gateways.
- UV-stabilised fibreglass radome means the antenna keeps performing after years in the sun and rain, for vehicles that live outdoors.
- Single 13–16mm hole mount means a quick, clean install with no separate mounting base to source or fit, for technicians on a tight installation schedule.

- Transport and logistics
