A range of antennas has been developed by European Antennas for a prestigious building project with three antennas providing full WiFi hotspot coverage in a dense RF environment whilst ensuring that other radio frequency requirements were not compromised in any way. Discreet and small in appearance to meet exacting architect aesthetic standards, each antenna provides coverage of specific elements within the structure.
All three antennas feature dual slant ±45° polarisation and dual frequency, 2.40 to 2.50GHz and 5.15 to 5.85GHz in order to aid future-proofing of communication system installations.
Low profile antenna, model DLPA6-2.5-5.5DS/1314
This directional antenna measures 55mm by 162mm diameter, weighs 500 grams and has four flying leads with N(M) connectors for convenient mounting in relation to the access point. It is suitable for indoor and outdoor applications. Gain is 6dBi, VSWR 2:1 and half power beamwidth 60° x 60°.
Omni Antenna, model DSO3-24-54/1177
This omni-directional antenna measures 93mm by 100mm diameter, weighs 230 grams, has four SMA(F) connectors and a flange for ceiling mounting for improved RF performance against access point integrated antennas. Gain is 3dBi and VSWR 2:1.
Low profile antenna, model DLPA6-2.5-5.5DS/1315
This low profile directional antenna measures 37mm by 132mm diameter, weighs 300 grams, has four SMA(F) connectors and can be flush mounted for minimal visibility. It is suitable for indoor applications, improving access point performance. Gain is 7dBi, VSWR 1.5:1 and half power beamwidth is 60° x 60°.
