Omni directional antenna family
With the Omni Directional Antenna Family, TE Connectivity offers a wide range of external rail antennas for professional and mission-critical applications. Most of these high-performance antennas are combining multiple services such as 2G/3G/4G/5G/LTE, Wi-Fi and GPS/GNSS in a single antenna package and are meeting industry standards.
Introduction
Combining antenna services in a single package reduces the amount of holes to be drilled in the rooftop and also reduces the cost of operation by simplifying fitment, maintenance and removal as well as keeping the aesthetic appearance and re-sale value of vehicles. The portfolio offers plug and play products ranging from Rail onboard Rooftop mounted antennas to off track vehicle mount antennas and finally semi stationary products which can be used on i.e. ticket vending machines.
Rail Antenna Portfolio
-
Onboard Antenna

Our onboard Antennas are 5G ready
Make Public Transportation ready for 5G
A hundred times faster than LTE, the new 5G standard can transmit data wirelessly at speeds up to 20 Gbit/s with a latency of less than 10 ms. Further 5G offers high reliability, high availability, energy efficiency, and high device density combined with good accessibility. In the future 5G might even make Wi-Fi redundant.
What does this mean for Public Transportation?
To optimize your passenger travel experience and to meet their expectations 5G is a key player.
- Higher data speed for passengers.
- Reduce network congestion.
What does this mean for the operator?
- Allowing real time monitoring and analysis.
- Full digitalization of the Rail network.
- Exploitation of energy and asset information.
- 5G can enhance inter operability between different railway systems.
With their large frequency response range supporting 5G, our onboard antennas are ready for the future!
