The price of 5G outdoor WiFi antenna high gain products varies due to many factors, and presents a variety of price ranges in the market. The following is a price comparison analysis from multiple dimensions.
I. Price differences by product type
(I) Omnidirectional antenna price
The omnidirectional 5G outdoor WiFi high gain antenna can transmit signals uniformly 360 degrees around, which is suitable for scenes with high coverage requirements and scattered signal receiving points, such as parks and squares. The price of this type of antenna is relatively affordable, and the common product price ranges from 13 yuan to 65 yuan. For example, in the June 2025 sales ranking of mobile phone signal amplifier and booster outdoor antennas of Aimei Diary, a GSM900/3G/LTE4G/5G full-band omnidirectional high-gain barrel outdoor waterproof antenna has a discounted price of 65 yuan; while another 4G LTE/5G omnidirectional high-gain full-band barrel antenna has a discounted price as low as 22 yuan. The price difference mainly comes from factors such as the material of the antenna, the degree of workmanship, and the brand effect. Products with excellent materials, fine workmanship, and high brand awareness are relatively expensive.
(II) Directional antenna price
Directional antennas focus signals in a specific direction, with higher signal strength and longer coverage distance. They are suitable for long-distance point-to-point transmission or key coverage of specific areas, such as long-distance reception of base station signals in remote areas, and coverage of specific floors or areas inside large buildings. Its price range is relatively wide, generally around 21 yuan to 209 yuan. In the wireless base station antenna sales ranking, a 4G/5G/GSM/3G base station plate-shaped directional antenna has considerable sales and a discounted price of 21 yuan; while a fiberglass directional high-gain outdoor antenna (3400-3600MHz Telecom n78 band) connected to a 5G CPE router costs 209 yuan. The price difference is mainly reflected in the frequency band targeting, gain effect and professional application scenarios of the antenna. Directional antennas that target specific high-frequency bands, high-gain requirements and are suitable for professional and complex scenarios are relatively expensive.
II. Correlation between performance parameters and prices
(I) Impact of gain value on price
Gain value is a key indicator for measuring the performance of 5G outdoor WiFi antenna high-gain products. The higher the gain, the stronger the signal amplification and transmission capabilities. Usually, products with gain values of 12dBi-18dBi or even higher will have relatively high prices. For example, ZTE's 5G AI CPE G5 Pro is equipped with a 13dBi gain antenna, with an initial price of 1,999 yuan. With its high-gain antenna, the product claims to increase the average rate by 40% under medium and weak signals. In contrast, some antennas with a gain value of around 8dBi - 10dBi may only cost a few dozen yuan. For example, an EB-LINK 2.4G/5G external antenna with a gain of 8DB is only priced at 16.5 yuan on JD.com. This shows that the increase in gain value is often accompanied by an increase in technical costs, which is directly reflected in the product price.
(II) Relationship between frequency band coverage and price
5G outdoor WiFi antennas that support multi-band or full-band coverage have a wider range of application scenarios because they can adapt to the 5G network bands of different operators, and are generally more expensive than single-band antennas. Taking the products on the market as an example, a 5G full-band 600-6000MHz fiberglass antenna with 3G4G5G full-band outdoor waterproof function has a discounted price of 55 yuan; while some antennas that only support specific low-band or high-band may cost around 20 yuan to 30 yuan. Full-band antennas require more complex circuit design and RF technology to ensure stable operation in different frequency bands, which increases their production costs and leads to higher prices.
III. Price stratification caused by brand factors
(I) Price of well-known brand products
The high-gain products of 5G outdoor WiFi antennas from well-known communication brands such as Huawei, ZTE, and FiberHome are relatively expensive. These brands have invested heavily in technology research and development, product quality control, and after-sales service, and their products have higher stability, reliability, and advanced technical characteristics. For example, the outdoor version of FiberHome 5G CPE adopts directional + omnidirectional hybrid antenna technology, with a cellular antenna gain of 10dBi, supports IP67 waterproof and dustproof, and is priced at 1,399 yuan, with an initial price of 1,299 yuan. ZTE 5G AI CPE G5 Pro is equipped with a 4nm process 5G chip, supports Wi-Fi 7 network protocol, and is equipped with a 13dBi gain antenna. The initial price is 1,999 yuan. The brand influence and product quality assurance make consumers willing to pay a higher price for it.
(II) Niche brands or general product prices
There are also many niche brands or 5G outdoor WiFi antenna high-gain products with strong versatility on the market, with relatively low prices. These products may be relatively weak in technological innovation, product workmanship and brand service on the basis of meeting basic signal enhancement and coverage functions. In the sales ranking of outdoor antennas for mobile phone signal amplifiers, some niche brands of omnidirectional high-gain barrel antennas are priced as low as a dozen yuan. For consumers with limited budgets and not particularly demanding product performance requirements, this type of product has a certain appeal.
The price of 5G outdoor WiFi antenna high-gain products is affected by many factors such as product type, performance parameters and brand. When choosing to buy, consumers should consider various factors based on their actual needs, such as application scenarios, requirements for signal coverage and strength, budget, etc., weigh price and performance, and choose the product that best suits them.
