LAIRD TECHNOLOGIES OFFERS 700MHz SPECTRUM ANTENNA PRODUCTS
Offering Includes Base Station, CPE, and Vehicular Antennas that can be Customized to Fit Customer Needs
St. Louis, Missouri, USA - April 23, 2008
Laird Technologies, Inc., a global leader of critical components and systems for advanced electronics and wireless products, today announced its offering of 700 MHz spectrum products including base station, customer premises equipment (CPE) and vehicular antenna designs that can be customized to fit a customer's needs.
The 700 MHz spectrum propagates through urban, suburban and rural areas allowing for a stronger signal and better coverage in areas that were traditionally difficult for the signal to transmit.
Laird Technologies' 60-Degree Base Station Antenna is a high-performance unit that operates across the 710 - 790 MHz frequency band. Features include ultra low sidelobes, uniform cell coverage and a rugged carrier class construction. It is easy to install and comes with an ultra-heavy tilt mounting hardware.
The Wall and Window Mount Panel Antenna is designed for broadband wireless fixed subscriber applications in the 710 - 750 MHz frequency band. The antenna's suction cup mounting system makes it easy to install, and it has virtually no visual impact on the environment. The design of the panel antenna includes an integrated coax pigtail with various coax lengths and connector type options.
Laird Technologies' mobile antennas combine an attractive appearance and top collinear performance with the added flexibility of supporting either 75 or 50 ohm applications. They operate across the 710 - 743 MHz frequency range and offer a vertically polarized radiation pattern that is omni-directional and symmetrical with collinear shaping in the E-plane to focus maximum radiation toward the horizon. The antenna height is 17 inches including a sturdy plated-brass button style base. The antenna is equipped with a standard T-mount and a magnetic mount is optional.
"Laird Technologies' 700 MHz spectrum antenna products are all high performance, rugged units that allow coverage in areas that typically did not receive a signal until now," said Tinu Oza, Laird Technologies product manager. "Having products that operate in this frequency range opens many possibilities for our customers and we are pleased to partner with them on upcoming applications."
