New Dual Polarized Yagi Antenna Also
Supports Smart Grids and Other Industrial Wireless
Applications
PCTEL, Inc. (NASDAQ:PCTI), a leader in Performance Critical
Telecom solutions, announced today that its new Yagi antenna will
provide backhaul on a major utility’s private wireless
communications network. The new dual polarized Yagi antenna
supports LTE MIMO and other high throughput wireless technologies
in private wireless bands. This rugged, carrier-grade platform is
also adaptable for smart grids and other advanced M2M
(Machine-to-Machine) applications.
"We designed this latest Yagi antenna to meet the exacting
performance and durability requirements of a particular customer,
but we believe that it will become the standard for a wide variety
of outdoor and industrial wireless applications," said Rishi
Bharadwaj, Vice President and General Manager of PCTEL's Connected
Solutions group. “Our commitment to quality and innovation has made
PCTEL the leader in performance critical antennas for private
wireless networks," added Bharadwaj.
PCTEL’s dual polarized Yagi antenna achieves high throughput
rates through its excellent pattern isolation between its two
ports. It has also been optimized to provide high gain for robust
connections over long distances. The initial model covers
frequencies from 814-863 MHz, but it can also be configured for
wider frequency ranges including the 900 MHz band. The antenna is
hard-anodized to resist both harsh conditions and vandalism. It
will be available commercially by July 2016 and is backed by a
five-year warranty.
