End Weak Reception: The QuMax A160M for your TRB160
The QuMax A160M is more than just an Antenna – it's a complete upgrade for your Teltonika TRB160 IoT gateway, enhancing its capabilities as one of the robust Teltonika 4G / 5G Routers. Specifically designed for stationary installations in areas with weak Network coverage, this Industrial Directional Antenna for Teltonika IoT Gateway, a prime example of 4G Outdoor Antennas, focuses power exactly where it's needed: to the nearest mobile cell tower. Forget frustrating connection drops and enjoy stable, high data throughput, even under the most challenging conditions.
System Integration: The Key to Lossless Performance
The most ingenious aspect of the QuMax is its sophisticated design. Your Teltonika TRB160 is mounted directly inside the weatherproof Enclosure. The connection to the Antenna is made via two short, internal SMA cables, ensuring minimal signal loss often associated with longer Antenna Cables or Coaxial Pigtails. This setup eliminates the main cause of poor reception: attenuation from long, external Antenna Cables. The result is a clean, strong signal and noticeably better performance to boost your Teltonika TRB160 4G signal.
Built to Last: IP67 Protection for Outdoor Use
Whether on a radio mast, a facade, or in a harsh production environment – the QuMax A160M is ready for anything. The Enclosure meets the strict IP67 protection class, meaning it is completely dustproof and even protected against temporary immersion. The wide operating temperature range of -40 °C to +75 °C guarantees reliable function in ice, snow, and summer heat. This All-in-One Antenna Solution TRB160 IP67 is the perfect choice for critical M2M and IoT applications, offering superior M2M / IoT Antennas - 4G, 5G, WiFi capabilities.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can I use the QuMax A160M Antenna with a router other than the Teltonika TRB160?
No, that is not possible. The internal structure of the enclosure, the brackets, and the internal SMA connectors are precisely tailored to the dimensions and connection positions of the Teltonika TRB160. There is no compatibility with other devices. This QuMax A160M is specifically designed for Teltonika 4G / 5G Routers.
Is the mounting material for a mast included?
No, the product information from most dealers and the manufacturer indicates that the specific Mounting System, such as pole clamps, must be purchased separately. The standard delivery includes the antenna unit itself. For proper installation, consider our Antenna Mounting Accessories.
How is the entire system (Antenna + Router) powered?
Power is supplied via the Teltonika TRB160 Router, which is mounted inside. The TRB160 itself can be powered via its Power Supply unit or via Passive PoE over the Network cable. This allows for an installation with only a single Ethernet Cable to the 4G / 5G Antennas.
Does this antenna also improve WiFi reception?
No. The QuMax A160M is a pure 4G mobile antenna. It has no influence on WiFi or GPS signals. Its sole function is to improve the 4G/LTE connection of the router. For WiFi reception, you would need dedicated WiFi Antennas.
What does IP67 protection mean in practice?
IP67 means that the enclosure is completely dust-tight and protected against the effects of temporary immersion in water. In practice, this means it can easily withstand heavy rain, snow, and splashing water, making it ideal for outdoor 4G / LTE Antennas.
Do I need to install special firmware on the TRB160 to use the antenna?
No, no special firmware is required. The antenna is a passive component. The Teltonika TRB160 recognizes it as a standard mobile antenna connected to its SMA ports. The standard Teltonika firmware is completely sufficient for this 4G / 5G Antennas setup.
