Compact antenna enclosure

18 March 2009 Enclosures, Racks, Cabinets & Panel Products

Laird Technologies has announced the development of a new reduced-size HD RooTenna enclosure.

The new integrated unit is 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/or client antennas using point-to-point and WISP applications.

These RoHS-compliant wideband antennas offer spectral flexibility and operate within 900–928 MHz and 2400–2700 MHz band coverage and include Laird’s patented RJ45-ECS field-replaceable feed-through Ethernet connector, as well as UV-resistant radomes made of ASA plastic and stainless steel hardware. Seven different options of antenna connectors are available to adapt to a user’s equipment.

The metallic die-cast enclosure is available as a standalone unit with an integrated low-gain antenna, a detachable high-gain panel antenna or an aluminium box with no antenna. All models have a removable and customisable user-mounting plate inside for installing electronics, as well as a hinged cover for easy maintenance with an IP67 water and dust seal rating.

The HD RooTenna is available in either pole-mount or wall-mount versions, with or without a heavy duty tilt bracket. There are 11 engineered knockouts (nine for N connectors and two for sized cable) that eliminate the need for drilling.
