What is the LHGG LTE7 kit?

The LHGG LTE7 kit is a complete solution for outdoor mobile connectivity, consisting of a high-gain directional antenna and an integrated LTE modem. It is specifically designed to ensure Internet access in remote locations where wired networks do not reach and mobile phones often lose signal. The unit is mounted outdoors on poles or masts, utilizing its lattice structure to reduce wind load while maintaining high directivity.

The key specifications of the LHGG LTE7 kit include:

  • LTE Modem: R11e-LTE7, category 7 (Download 300 Mbps, Upload 100 Mbps).
  • LTE FDD Bands: 1, 3, 5, 7, 8, 20, 28, 32.
  • LTE TDD Bands: 38, 40, 41.
  • 3G Compatibility: Category R8 (Download 42.2 Mbps, Upload 5.76 Mbps) on bands 1, 3, 5, 8.
  • CPU: Dual-core ARM 64-bit 88F3720 at 800 MHz.
  • Memory: 256 MB DDR3L RAM and 16 MB Flash.
  • Network Ports: 1 Gigabit Ethernet port with PoE-In support (802.3af/at).
  • Operating System: RouterOS v7, level 3 license.
  • Power Supply: PoE-In from 12-57 V; includes a 24 V 0.8 A power adapter and a Gigabit PoE injector.
  • Maximum Power Consumption: 8 W.
  • Dimensions: 391 x 391 x 227 mm.
  • Operating Temperature: from -40°C to +70°C.

Who is it for and in which scenarios does it make sense?

The LHGG LTE7 kit is suitable for network administrators and WISPs that need to provide connectivity in rural or isolated areas. The doubled upload capacity compared to previous models makes it suitable for applications requiring a stable uplink, such as remote video surveillance, VPN usage, remote work, and multi-user implementations. It is the right choice when you need a reliable connection in adverse weather conditions, thanks to the robustness of the enclosure and the lattice design that minimizes wind resistance.

What to know before choosing it?

Before purchasing, you must verify the compatibility of the supported LTE bands with those offered by the local operator in the installation area, as the device supports specific FDD and TDD bands. Power is supplied via PoE-In on the Ethernet port, so it is essential to have a compatible PoE injector (included in the kit) or an adequate power source. The device requires outdoor installation on a vertical support (pole or mast) to maximize the gain of the 17 dBi antenna.
