I am looking at replacing my 5G antenna for another antenna that that supports 4x4 mimo as well as Wifi and GPS so i can make the most out of my new RUTX50 teltonika router that i have just purchased (current one only supports 2x2 mimo), the issue is that where my current antenna is there is not enough room to mount this new one as it's rectangle and not round (link below of actual antenna).

Has anyone mounted this flat on the roof and routed the cable through a roof gland like they use for solar panels etc as from what I can see the cables that come out of this antenna are bunched together but still individual so would not form a water proof seal around the grommet entry.
Any one got any pics of their install that they can either post here or send to me via pm?
If i remove the existing antenna i will have a 25mm hole which i can easily then cover over with a cable entry gland but not if i cannot make it water tight where the cable enters the gland.
I would also likely have to mount it sideways on the roof and not follow the usual contour which i am assuming wont matter as long as its stuck down enough (sikaflex), no way i can mount it the usual way without a longer run of cables on the roof.
Also the poynting antenna mentioned above does not seem to go up very high in the bands compared to the ones i usually go for from panorama, as the high end is 3800mhz where as on the panorama its 6000mhz. It does however go lower on the lower bands which is better for rural locations as the poynting one starts at 410mhz where as the panorama starts at 617mhz
This is the panorama equivalent ie 4x4mimo but it's way to expensive at just under £390 but has a higher frequency band going up to 6000mhz but only from 617mhz on the lower band.
My current panorama has been excellent which is why i was going to stay with them but at that price its hard to justify it compared to the poynting equivalent.
Any assistance appreciated.
