Teltonika PR1KS536 - 5G Mobile magnetic SMA antenna
The Teltonika PR1KS536 is a 5G mobile magnetic SMA antenna designed to provide wide-band cellular connectivity for compatible Teltonika routers, gateways, modems, and other cellular equipment using an SMA female antenna connection. Its broad 617–960 MHz, 1400–2690 MHz, and 3300–5900 MHz frequency coverage supports a wide range of LTE and 5G cellular bands, while the omnidirectional radiation pattern allows the antenna to receive and transmit cellular signals without requiring precise directional alignment.
PR1KS536 combines 3.6 dBi gain, 50-ohm impedance, a magnetic mounting base, and a 1.5-meter RG-58 cable terminated with an SMA male connector for quick installation on suitable metal surfaces. With no permanent drilling required for the magnetic base, the antenna is well suited to mobile equipment, vehicles, cabinets, kiosks, temporary installations, industrial IoT deployments, cellular failover systems, and other applications where flexible placement of an external LTE or 5G antenna can improve installation options and radio positioning.

Compatibility & Buying Information
Exact Order Code: This page is for Teltonika PR1KS536, the 5G Mobile Magnetic SMA Antenna with an SMA male connector and current 1.5-meter RG-58 antenna cable.
Current 1.5-Meter Cable: Teltonika changed PR1KS536 from a 3-meter cable to a 1.5-meter cable beginning in Q2 2025. Current product documentation specifies RG-58 cable with a nominal length of 1.5 meters.
Older Documentation: Earlier PR1KS536 documentation may show a 3-meter RG-58 cable. That specification applies to the previous revision and should not be used to describe current-production PR1KS536 antennas.
SMA Male Connector: PR1KS536 terminates in one SMA male connector. The connected router, gateway, modem, or other cellular device therefore needs an appropriate SMA female cellular antenna interface unless a correctly selected adapter is used.
One Antenna Per Unit: PR1KS536 is a single cellular antenna element. Cellular routers using 2x2 MIMO, 4x4 MIMO, or additional cellular antenna ports may require multiple PR1KS536 antennas or a different multi-element antenna solution to populate the required RF connections.
5G & LTE Frequency Coverage: The antenna covers 617–960 MHz, 1400–2690 MHz, and 3300–5900 MHz. This provides broad support for many LTE and 5G operating frequencies, but actual network-band support is determined by the connected cellular modem and carrier network.
Omnidirectional Antenna: PR1KS536 uses an omnidirectional radiation pattern. It does not require the precise tower alignment associated with directional antennas, making it convenient for mobile, temporary, multi-directional, and general-purpose cellular installations.
3.6 dBi Gain: Teltonika specifies antenna gain of 3.6 dBi. Actual connection quality and throughput also depend on frequency, modem capability, carrier coverage, antenna placement, cable loss, interference, network congestion, and the surrounding environment.
Magnetic Mounting: The approximately 60 mm magnetic base allows the antenna to attach quickly to appropriate metal surfaces without drilling. The selected mounting surface should provide secure magnetic attachment and allow the antenna to remain upright and properly positioned.
Antenna Placement: For best cellular performance, position the antenna away from unnecessary obstructions, enclosed metal structures, electrical interference, and locations where surrounding materials may shield the cellular signal.
Cable Length Consideration: The current 1.5-meter cable reduces unnecessary coaxial cable length compared with the previous 3-meter revision. Installers should confirm that 1.5 meters provides sufficient routing distance between the antenna mounting point and the cellular device before installation.
IP33 Protection: PR1KS536 carries an IP33 rating. It should not be treated as a fully weatherproof or waterproof outdoor antenna. Installations exposed to severe weather, standing water, pressure washing, or other demanding environmental conditions should use an antenna with an appropriate environmental rating.
Operating Temperature: Teltonika specifies an operating range of -20°C to +65°C. The antenna should be installed where anticipated temperatures remain within that range.
Not a Wi-Fi or GNSS Antenna: PR1KS536 is intended for cellular LTE and 5G frequencies. It does not replace dedicated Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or GNSS antenna connections on a Teltonika device.
Router Not Included: PR1KS536 is an antenna accessory only. A compatible cellular router, gateway, modem, power supply, SIM card, and cellular service are not included with the antenna.
Best Fit: Teltonika PR1KS536 is a strong fit for MSPs, industrial integrators, transportation operators, OEMs, utilities, security installers, and IoT deployments that need a compact wide-band LTE and 5G cellular antenna with SMA connectivity, magnetic mounting, omnidirectional coverage, and flexible external placement.
