Webb Industries has yet again provided the local market with an innovative antennna, which is fast making its mark in the field. The 'bee sting' tri-band antenna, which is used mainly on motor vehicles, has proved to be a resounding success in Europe, according to the company.
Webb Industries' Terry Reuss says that the unique feature of the antenna is its three frequency capabilities: FM or PMR radio, GSM and GPS, thereby obviating the need for more than one antenna installation where all three of these signals are required.
"For motor vehicles this is ideal because the antenna can handle all the communication needs of the modern car," he notes.
