MIMO Panel Antenna

July 14, 2013

PCTEL has unveiled its 802.11n MIMO (Multiple Input, Multiple Output) directional antenna for cellular data offloading applications in stadiums and large entertainment venues. The FP2458-DP3X3 6-port MIMO panel antenna addresses the challenge of stadium coverage with focused coverage patterns and consistent port to port performance. The antenna provides multiband coverage with 3 ports covering 2.4 GHz to 2.5 GHz and 3 ports covering 5.1 GHz to 5.9 GHz in a single unit. The platform’s RF design features enhanced gain and multiple polarizations for each port. These enhancements allow for optimal data throughput in high interference areas. The mechanical design includes fully integrated cable jumpers with various connector options to adapt to the leading radio manufacturers’ MIMO configurations. It also provides a fully adjustable mounting solution for wall or pipe mount configurations to address difficult installation requirements at various venues. www.pctel.com
