Dual-Band 5-GHz Antenna Housed In Small, Rugged Enclosure

A 5-GHz antenna system integrates the two frequency bands of 2400-2850 MHz 12 dBi and 4900-5850 MHz 16 dBi, the company’s patented RJ45-ECS field replaceable feed-through Ethernet connector, and UV-resistant radomes that are made of ASA plastic and stainless steel hardware. In addition, seven antenna connector options are available to adapt to any equipment. The antenna and enclosure are designed to accommodate smaller-sized equipment requirements for Broadband Wireless Access (BWA) suppliers and carriers who deploy industrial WiFi/WLAN/WiMax/LTE systems, mesh networks, Wi-PoP base stations, and client antennas using Point-to-Point and WISP applications. The metallic die-cast enclosure is available as a stand-alone unit with an integrated low-gain antenna, a detachable high-gain panel antenna, or an aluminum box with no antenna. All models have a removable and customizable user-mounting plate inside, as well as a hinged cover with an IP-67 water and dust seal rating. The HD RooTenna is available in either pole- or wall-mount versions, with or without a heavy-duty tilt bracket. There are eight engineered knockouts that eliminate the need for drilling: seven for cable configurations and one for a bulkhead connector-only configuration.
