This antenna is available
with a robust flexible mounting bracket that allows a high degree of
elevation and azimuth tilt and can be mounted on a mast or a wall. The
antenna housing is also made available with a back plate that can be
mated directly to an external CPE radio enclosure. In addition, the
antenna can also be provided as a kit without the radome structure for
integration into a CPE enclosure for a fully integrated CPE solution.
The antenna provides a gain of 18 dBi and covers the 3.4 to 3.6 GHz
frequency range.
“As WiMAX trials and deployments pick up pace there is a need for CPE
antenna solutions that are not only high performance and cost effective
but also provide a great deal of installation flexibility to provide
optimal coverage,” said Jeff Miller, General Manager of the Broadband
Technology Group. “PCTEL is constantly working to meet the needs of the
wireless broadband technology market, WiMAX in particular, with
innovative antenna solutions.”
European WiMAX World recently awarded PCTEL second place for its
innovative Integrated Variable Electrical Tilt (iVET™) WiMAX base
station antenna that PCTEL announced earlier this year. PCTEL is
developing a complete range of WiMAX base station antennas using the
iVET technology that it acquired as part of its acquisition of Sigma
Technologies.
