Parabolic Antennas
These parabolic antennas are designed for use in the National Information Infrastructure and ISM frequency bands of 5.25 to 5.85 GHz. Offered in plane and dual-polarized models, the units feature a newly designed feed that terminates with a type N connector while the reflectors are offered in two-, four- and six-foot diameters. Optional conical radomes are available for the protection of the antennas' feed assembly in harsh environments.

Wireless Antennas
The Archetec series wireless antennas are designed to blend in both interior and exterior environments while exceeding all typical WLL/PCS antenna environmental requirements. The unit features a unique universal mount that allows placement at any angle on any surface. The swivel mount provides a full range of movement (+/-30° vertical and +/-90° horizontal) for manual adjustment of the antenna. A cable tray conceals connector interfaces for optimum mechanical and electrical performance. SMA or TNC connectors can be provided. The antennas are available in five variations covering the frequency requirements of ISM, PCS, DECT and DCS. Typical gain is 7 to 12 dB, depending on frequency, and polarization options include circular and linear.
