Poynting today announces the new BridgePoynt WLAN-A0042 outdoor enclosure with an integrated super-high gain 5-6GHz, 23dBi antenna, making this the most powerful and wide-band outdoor enclosure available to date.
Protection against static-buildup and lightning is addressed by an integrated DC short in the antenna and an additional earthing plug is provided, which allows the optional grounding of internal electronics to external structures, such as the mounting mast.
The WLAN-A0042 is additionally equipped with Poynting`s rugged new waterproof Ethernet cable gland, which allows direct, watertight connection of RJ-45 terminated CAT5 cable to the exterior of the enclosure for easy installation.
Unlike other Ethernet glands, this gland has been specifically designed for high UV-levels and is moulded in ultra-strong glass-reinforced nylon and provided with a tightening spanner.
Like all BridgePoynt enclosures, the WLAN-A0042 is provided with a mast-mounting bracket with new continuous elevation tilt capability and a mounting kit for any type of electronics, to be secured inside the enclosure - just fit in your 5GHz wireless electronics, power up and go.
