4×4 MIMO Antennas for LTE, 5G and WiFi
Four cables coming out of one housing does not make a 4×4 MIMO antenna. What matters is four RF paths that match what the radio expects, on the right bands, with the right connector at both ends.
4×4 MIMO antenna types
A 4×4 MIMO antenna feeds four spatial streams to radios that support them, lifting throughput and link reliability over single or 2×2 designs. Our 4×4 MIMO antennas cover sub-6 GHz 5G and 4G/LTE bands with good port-to-port isolation, in panel and omnidirectional formats for fixed and mobile deployments.

Specification comparison
Match the band and coverage first, then gain and connector. Full datasheets are on each product page.

How to choose
Match the band and coverage shape first, then gain, ports and mounting.
Radio compatibility
Confirm the radio really exposes four usable antenna ports, and how they are split by band. Four ports on the antenna and four ports on the modem is not the same thing as four paths on one frequency.
Cellular or WiFi
Cellular means GL-DY7040S4707 or the directional GL-DY1727S46513. WiFi means the three 2400-2500 / 5150-5850 MHz models. Mixing radios in one housing is a combination antenna job instead.
Panel or omni
Panel antennas add sector gain; omni models distribute coverage around the mast. See the full outdoor MIMO antenna range for 2×2 and 6-port options.
Port isolation
Use a purpose-built multi-port antenna. Bolting four single antennas together does not give you the isolation the streams need, and the throughput you were paying for quietly disappears.
Four ports does not always mean four ports on one band
Worth reading the port map before you order. On GL-DY2458S46517 and GL-DY2458V48, the four ports are split two for 2.4 GHz and two for 5 GHz. That is a 2×2 per band, which is exactly right for a dual-band access point and exactly wrong if you assumed four paths on 5 GHz alone. Check what your access point or modem expects, then check the antenna. This one mismatch causes more returned samples than anything else on this page.
Check all four RF paths before sampling
Map radio port 1 to 4 against the antenna ports and confirm the connector at both ends. Four N-K ports and four 7/16 DIN female ports need completely different cable assemblies, and 7/16 DIN in particular is heavy, expensive and unforgiving of a bad install.
None of the five product records publishes a common cable length or a shared ingress rating. Those get confirmed per model and per project, not assumed from the category. And do not compare 17 dBi against 8 dBi as if they were the same measurement: one is a 65 degree panel, the other covers 360 degrees.

Frequently asked questions
4×4 MIMO or 2×2 — which should I use?
Use 4×4 only when the radio has four ports. If it has two, a 2×2 antenna is simpler, cheaper and performs the same. See the router antenna range for 1×1 and 2×2 options.
Why does port isolation matter on a 4×4 MIMO antenna?
Good isolation between the four elements keeps the streams independent, which is what delivers the throughput gain MIMO promises.
Do you have 4×4 MIMO 5G antennas for n78?
Partly. GL-DY7040S4707 covers 3400-4000 MHz, so it reaches most of n78 but not the 3300-3400 MHz bottom edge. Send the exact NR band and we will confirm against the model record rather than round it off.
Can you customise cable length and connectors?
Yes. Cable, connector and mounting are configured per project, and we private-label from sample through to volume.
Custom & OEM/ODM antennas
As an RF antenna manufacturer we tune bands, gain, connectors and branding in-house — with sampling, testing and mass production to RoHS, CE and ISO requirements. Send your bands, gain and environment and our engineers confirm feasibility, lead time and MOQ.
