Antennas are the heart and soul of wireless communication. You know you can’t communicate without them; yet, many standard antennas prove lacking. Harsh conditions, long ranges, and the countless challenges of installing wireless networks in outdoor locations will quickly expose the limits of any antenna. When you need something robust and powerful, the technologies made by companies like Panorama Antennas, Parsec Technologies, Taoglas, Poynting, and Mobile Mark are up to the challenge. They offer everything from the radio to the antenna and all necessary RF cables and accessories to go with them.
Outdoor communication is universal and necessary. When weather and adverse conditions are a threat, hearty panel antennas are a reliable way to keep data flowing. Taoglas' MA910 is a perfect example. Designed for IoT gateway and router devices, it belongs to a new generation of combination antennas. It is ideal for WiFi applications requiring the increased data throughput and range provided by MIMO technology. This antenna was designed with high efficiency and gain to enable you to improve signal and range. The IP67 rated enclosure can withstand a range of environments.
Not every job calls for a panel antenna. Durable omnidirectional multi-antennas like the PRO11H from Parsec supporting LTE 5G, 2.4 and 5 GHz Wi-Fi, and GPS in a single, compact dome. It’s a simple but useful tool for a wide range of applications. These antennas are IP67 rated for all-weather operation and can withstand temperature extremes far beyond what most regions are likely to experience. Plus, they are designed for omnidirectional installation, making it easier to install even when options are limited. With 50 ohm impedance, isolation, and 70% efficiency, it’s perfect for most standard uses. You can’t find a much easier way to bring life to your access points, clients, bridges, Bluetooth, and repeaters.
In the same vein of rugged tools, there are also the Parsec fleet antennas. The PRO Series offers a number of options that are great for Wi-Fi and GPS. They utilize modular designs that make them impressively customizable, and the IP67 ratings ensure that they can handle the challenges of industrial work. The full range of options can provide the specific VSWR ratio and antenna array for virtually any vehicle application. Whether you need a Husky or a Chihuahua, there’s a fleet antenna that is right for your operation.
