Poynting Antennas is proud to announce it has developed and is manufacturing the antennas for the Sentech, MyWireless Public Wireless LAN. FastComm has been appointed sole distributor of these antennas which can be purchased through FastComm outlets.
The first antenna is a small patch for in-building use. This vertically polarised antenna operates in the 2.5 - 2.7GHz band with a gain of 8dBi.
The antenna is supplied in a kit which includes a swivel bracket and either 1.5 or 2.5m cable with a RPMCX connector which connects it to the MyWireless modem. Extension cables are also available through FastComm. By connecting a pigtail to an extension cable, you can mount the antenna outdoors.
