Poynting Antennas has developed a new injection-moulded WiFi enclosure with an integrated antenna that will simplify the installation of wireless equipment.
RF cabling is often the bane of any wireless networking equipment installer. Connecting an antenna on a mast to a radio located somewhere dry and safe typically requires several metres of expensive low loss cable which still somehow manages to eat away the expensive gain you`ve purchased in the antenna.
Even only 5m of a high quality cable can cost you as much as half your power. That kind of power loss is expensive when it has to be made up for by higher performance antennas and radios.
How to solve this? Integrate the antenna and electronics in the same enclosure. With the antenna close to the electronics, there is negligible loss in the RF cable. Because there is no power loss over Ethernet, you can safely link to an integrated enclosure using inexpensive CAT5 cable.
To answer the ever-increasing demand for integrated antenna products, Poynting has recently developed a new multipurpose WiFi/WiFi5/WiMax enclosure which allows the integration of a wide range of electronics through the ingenious use of user-configurable mounting pillars. Although the design of the enclosure ensures ample space for you or your customers` electronics, the design is sleek and aesthetically pleasing, offering a rugged and watertight (IP66) environment for your choice of wireless technology. Mounting is easy with a new universal bracket design, offering both horizontal and vertical mounting for your choice of polarisation, and, of course, tilt capability up to 30 degrees.
The new BridgePoynt range launches with 13 and 16dBi 2.45GHz integrated antennas with 5 - 6GHz versions to be released later this year.
