Yes, this is the Poynting PANL antenna with suction cups that can be placed on the windshield inside! More precisely, this is not one, but a family of antennas – currently consisting of 3 members. And it is not only loved by truckers, but also by those who require a reliable internet connection in critical situations on any road vehicle – for digital applications, telemetry, remote monitoring or even broadcasting.

PANEL-ENCLOSURE ANTENNAS
In our previous blogs, we have already written about PANEL-housing antennas, the first PANL-401, and in an article written for multi-modem, critical use, we have already mentioned the PANL-631. In this blog, you can read more about the 8-in-1 functionality PANL-431 and its application options.

Briefly: The PANEL Enclosure
The PANEL enclosure is an extremely compact, thin, plastic casing that accommodates integrated antennas, which, depending on the design, can also contain cellular, i.e. mobile antennas, WiFi antennas and a dual-band (L1 and L5) GNSS / GPS antenna. Its exterior is also extremely unique, but more importantly, it is designed for transportation applications, so it can be attached specifically to a windshield or other flat surface with suction cups or adhesive Velcro.
Wireless Performance for Demanding Environments
The PANL-431 integrates four cellular antennas, three Wi-Fi antennas, and one dual-band GNSS antenna into a compact, rugged enclosure. Covering an ultra-wide frequency range from 410 MHz to 6000 MHz, it supports all major 5G and 4G LTE bands, as well as Wi-Fi 6E and Wi-Fi 7 standards. Cross-polarised 4×4 MIMO for cellular and 3×3 MIMO for Wi-Fi ensure high throughput, stable connections, and improved reliability—even in environments with multipath interference or when the case is in motion. The inclusion of dual-band GNSS (L1 and L5) guarantees precise positioning for mission-critical applications.
Seamless integration
Designed for easy integration, the PANL-431 features a low-profile, IP65-rated enclosure that withstands weather, dust, and vandalism. Its compact form factor and adhesive Velcro mounting simplify installation and minimize signal loss, making it ideal for rapid deployment in the field. Short coaxial cables further reduce loss and streamline cable management. The antenna is E-Mark certified, ensuring compliance and safety for automotive and mobile use.

APPLICATIONS ACROSS KEY INDUSTRIES
The PANL-431 is purpose-built for a wide range of mobile and portable connectivity scenarios, including:
- Emergency response & disaster recovery kits
- Public safety, law enforcement, and tactical operations
- Construction, mining, and heavy-industry field teams
- Healthcare professionals and ambulance services
- Broadcasting, media, and drone operators
- Temporary offices, event setups, and remote travel
- Transportation, fleet management, and smart infrastructure
Portable Connectivity, Anywhere
With its rugged construction, advanced wireless performance, and flexible mounting options, the PANL-431 is the reliable antenna solution for teams that need dependable connectivity wherever the mission takes them. Whether deployed in urban, rural, or remote environments, the PANL-431 ensures seamless communication and accurate positioning—keeping operations online when every second counts.
And what other device will be needed?
The antenna specification requires a fairly complex router device with 4 mobile, 3 WiFi and 1 GPS connections. Obviously, you can try more devices, but it will help mobility the least, but it is not necessary. The TELTONIKA RUTC50 is a special, small but powerful dual-SIM router device that fits perfectly with the PANL-431 antenna. It supports both SA and NSA 5G, Cat20 4G with 4 SMA connections. It has dual-band WiFi6, which is served by 3 RP-SMA connections, and also provides GPS signal access. Its 5 Ethernet ports allow additional cable connections to serve various network devices, controllers, and endpoint devices.
