ANTENNAS NEW PRODUCTS & SERVICES base station equipment can be changed over time, meaning you have to go back on site and change the antenna. That scenario can happen over and over again but with the Engager series it's a one time installation and future proofs the site's connectivity for many years." All options are available with wall or pole mount options. The wall mount option consists of a two part bracket allowing it to be tilted and rotated and hence pointed in the required direction of the base station. The pole mount bracket is delivered with ubolts and clamps and when secured on the pole itself it also allows tilted 30° above or below horizontal, which makes it even easier for the installer to get the right location. L-com Releases Embedded Flexible DAS Antenna L-com Global Connectivity has launched a flexible embedded antenna. L-com's HyperLink brand HG72705FPU-UFL is a flexible, Omni-directional embedded antenna designed to be directly integrated into devices that require wireless capability. By embedding this antenna into a device, the need for external antennas is eliminated. The Omni-directional design of the HG72705FPUUFL provides complete 360° coverage, making it well suited for multipoint and mobile wireless systems. The HG72705FPU-UFL is specifically designed for Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS) used to distribute cellular and Wi-Fi signals throughout a building or area. With an operating range of 698 to 960 MHz to 1,710 to 2,700 MHz, it is well suited for cellular LTE and Wi-Fi applications. The multi-band capability of this antenna eliminates the need to use different antennas for each frequency. "Today's antennas need to be small enough to embed into smaller devices yet powerful enough to operate on a wide range of frequencies that include cellular, Wi-Fi and even DAS networks. The HG72705FPU-UFL was designed as a quick off-the-shelf solution and is ideal for engineers developing prototype equipment that requires an antenna for devices with tight space constraints," said Ken Burgner, Product Manager. Constructed from a flexible polymer, the HG72705FPU-UFL can be attached to flat or curved surfaces by its adhesive backing. This unique design provides engineers with greater flexibility when designing wireless communications equipment. Southwest Antennas Releases 2X2 and 4X4 MIMO S&C Band MIMO 90° Sector Antennas Southwest Antennas has released four new high gain 90° sector antenna designs specifically for use with 2X2 and 4X4 MIMO radio systems. These new high gain 90° sector antenna designs are available in both 2X2 and 4X4 MIMO input options covering the 2.2-2.5 GHz Federal Law Enforcement and ISM Broadcast S-Bands or the 4.4-5.0 GHz Federal Law Enforcement C-Band. The new SWA product offering gives the Federal Law Enforcement community and the 2.4 GHz ISM Broadcast Band end-users new MIMO system design tools and antenna deployment options for their MIMO radio systems. The S-Band 90° Sector Antennas offer 15dBi peak gain and the C-Band versions offer 16dBi peak gain. All products cover 90° Azimuth and 8° Elevation beamwidth for a complete 90° sectorial radiation pattern coverage. The 2X2 and 4X4 90° MIMO Sector Antennas utilize a proprietary alternating slant left / slant right antenna polarization that offer end-users maximum orthogonal antenna polarization diversity as well as optimized spatial diversity between the alternating antenna element polarizations inside the antenna, giving endusers superior MIMO antenna performance within a single ruggedized outdoor rated enclosure. The product's rugged Kydex radome housing is white in color (other colors available) and offers an outdoor rated UV stable, weather sealed, low-visibility product that will blend in well in urban environments and looks very similar to commonly used commercial cellular base station sectorial coverage antennas. www.AntennasOnline.com Fall 2016 Antenna Systems & Technology 21 http://www.AntennasOnline.com
