Deployment / Use Cases
This antenna is designed for cellular network enhancement in scenarios where improved signal strength and coverage are required. Its multiband capability makes it suitable for supporting various cellular services including LTE, 4G, and emerging cellular technologies operating within its frequency ranges.
Typical deployments include outdoor cellular signal boosting for buildings with poor reception, indoor distributed antenna systems (DAS) in commercial facilities, and temporary cellular enhancement for events or construction sites. The omni-directional pattern is particularly valuable in applications where signal sources may be distributed across multiple directions or where future cellular tower locations are uncertain.
Outdoor Cellular Enhancement
Improves cellular reception for buildings, campuses, or remote locations where carrier signal strength is inadequate for reliable voice and data services.
Indoor Coverage Solutions
Integrates with indoor cellular distribution systems to eliminate dead zones in offices, warehouses, or underground facilities where cellular signals typically attenuate.
Physical Profile
The antenna features a low-profile design measuring 6.30" in height, 8.13" in width, and 1.06" in depth, with a white finish that blends with most architectural surfaces. This compact form factor allows installation in space-constrained locations while providing sufficient radiating surface area for effective signal capture and transmission. The housing is engineered for durability in outdoor environments with UV-resistant materials and weather-sealed connections.

FAQ
What frequency ranges does this cellular antenna cover?
The Parsec Labrador PRO Antenna covers three distinct frequency bands: 698-894 MHz, 1695-2200 MHz, and 2300-2700 MHz. This multiband coverage enables support for various cellular technologies including LTE bands 12/13/17, AWS bands, and 2.5 GHz spectrum used by multiple carriers for 4G and emerging cellular services.
What type of radiation pattern does this antenna have?
This antenna features an omni-directional radiation pattern, meaning it provides 360-degree horizontal coverage. This pattern eliminates the need for precise directional aiming during installation, making deployment simpler and more flexible in environments where cellular signal sources may come from multiple directions or where future tower locations might change.
What is the antenna gain and how does it affect performance?
The antenna has an isotropic gain of 5.5 dBi, which represents balanced signal amplification suitable for general cellular enhancement applications. This gain level improves signal strength without creating excessive directionality, making it appropriate for scenarios where you need to improve overall cellular reception rather than targeting a specific distant tower.
What connector type does this antenna use?
This antenna uses an SMA female connector, which is a standard RF connector type commonly used in cellular and wireless equipment. The SMA interface ensures reliable connectivity with minimal signal loss when properly installed with compatible cables and equipment designed for cellular frequency ranges.
Can this antenna be used for both outdoor and indoor applications?
Yes, the antenna is designed for both outdoor and indoor cellular network applications. Its construction includes weather-resistant materials suitable for outdoor exposure, while its compact size and white finish also make it appropriate for indoor installations where discreet appearance is important. The specifications explicitly list both outdoor and indoor usage.
What mounting options are available for this antenna?
The antenna supports wall, pole, or bracket mounting, providing flexibility for different installation scenarios. The form factor is designed to accommodate standard mounting hardware, and the 360-degree radiation pattern means you don't need to worry about rotational alignment once the antenna is mounted to its chosen surface or structure.
What are the physical dimensions of this antenna?
The antenna measures 6.30 inches (160.02 mm) in height, 8.13 inches (206.50 mm) in width, and 1.06 inches (26.92 mm) in depth. This compact profile allows installation in space-constrained locations while providing sufficient radiating surface area for effective cellular signal capture and transmission across its covered frequency ranges.
Where is this antenna manufactured?
The Parsec Labrador PRO Antenna is manufactured in the United States. This domestic production can be important for organizations with sourcing requirements or preferences for U.S.-made networking equipment, and it may facilitate faster availability and support compared to internationally manufactured alternatives.
