As communication grows more complicated — especially mobile networks — the need for multifunction devices expands. To keep up with the rollout of 5G while still supporting older and legacy devices on the same network, you need antennas that can handle the range of signals without stumbling. Plus, they will have to operate in harsh conditions and be futureproofed to operate long enough to justify their cost.
You need antennas like the Sharkee SH-IN2442 from Panorama Antennas. This shark fin housing has 2X2 MIMO cellular antennas, which operate on 698 to 960 MHz and 1710 to 2700 MHz frequencies and accept all prominent cellular frequencies for 4G, 3G, and even 2G. Additionally, it can provide the new 3.8 GHz 5G mid-band when and where needed. It accepts a maximum 50-watt input, which allows it to cover large ranges.
The SH-IN2442 is ridiculously tough. The radome housing withstands the worst weather on earth and brutal mobile environments. It works fine in temperatures ranging from -40 to 80°C. It also has an IP66 rating, meaning it is protected from particle ingress, including fine dust. It can also handle deluges of water and powerful water jets. You’ll have a hard time finding the environment that can defeat this antenna. The SH-IN2442 is a kit containing the SHK-7-27 antenna with two 5-meter long-low loss double-shielded cables terminating in SMA plugs. The rugged design and through-hole mounting make it ideal for emergency vehicles, trucking fleets, and delivery vans.
