Laird Connectivity announced the CFSA35606P, the world's thinnest, ultra low-profile DAS antenna with the broadest range of frequency coverage. The CFSA3560P is a low PIM, ceiling mounted antenna with omnidirectional pattern coverage optimized for indoor DAS coverage at 350 to 520, 600 to 960, 1350 to 1550 and 1690 to 6000 MHz for the UHF, 4G LTE, 2G/3G Cellular, UMTS/AWS-3, CBRS and Wi-Fi frequency bands.
Laird Connectivity's latest CFSA ultra low-profile antenna is just 7.6 mm thick, about the thickness of a smartphone, providing buildings with an inconspicuous yet high performance antenna for enhanced wireless connectivity. It is engineered specifically for public safety and FirstNet applications.
The CFSA35606P ceiling mounted antenna radiates an indoor signal up to 20 percent more efficiently than other in-building Distributed Antenna System (DAS) antennas on the market today, improving in-building wireless telecommunications and delivering consistent, reliable connectivity, further enabling the IoT. The antenna can be mounted to a hard ceiling (model CFSA35606P1) or a ceiling tile (model CFSA35606P), and is labeled with a unique QR code that contains its VSWR and PIM values. Angle marking is provided on the radome, to simplify antenna orientation for optimized coverage.
"Laird Connectivity's technology enables the in-building wireless world to work," said Scott Lordo, president and CEO of Laird Connectivity. "Improving indoor wireless coverage and capacity usually requires deployment of more ceiling antennas. But this is at the expense of the in-building design and aesthetics required by network operators and sought after by building owners/management firms. Our new CFSA antenna is smaller, more aesthetically pleasing and delivers next-generation performance for high traffic, public safety and FirstNet applications."
