The HELI-5 is a high gain LTE directional antenna for underground mining communication and data networks. In tests, the data rate and range achieved with this antenna was substantially greater than obtained when using linear polarized panel antennas of the same gain. The hardy construction of the antenna makes it ideal for a mining environment. An Intrinsically Safe (IS) version is available on request if IS equipment is required.
Application areas include: Supplementing fibre/cable network “Hotspots” to enhance mobility or extend networks to inaccessible areas such as mines and tunnels, Underground telemetry, Creation of complete underground in-tunnel wide data networks and internet/LTE connectivity, and Seamless connection to personnel using cellular phones, smart devices and tablets.
* Contact Westward Sales for an IS version or Right Hand circular polarized version of this antenna.
