Improved outdoor wall-mount antenna for 4G / LTE applications

The LCO7270 wall-mount omni antenna has been enhanced with an improved, lower profile L-bracket and can now be bundled with RF240 low loss cable to minimise attentuation across the jumper cables.

LCO7270 wall-mount omni antenna

Offering 2-3 dBi gain across the bands, the LCO7270-WMB is a compact, outdoor omni antenna enhanced with a new zinc plated finish steel bracket. Coupled with the RF240 low loss cable, the antenna/cable bundle an effective and discreet solution for wall (and pole-) mounted antenna applications such as metering, wireless CCTV, security and access.

The LCO7270-WB is available now. Please contact EAD for more information. The LCO7270-WMB-5M240-SM (with 5M RF240 cable and SMA-male) can also be purchased from the Connex webshop.

New 868 MHz and 915 MHz 1/2 Wave Terminal omni antennas

EAD has introduced two new ISM-band omni antennas for 868 MHz and 915 MHz. The BKR868 and BKR915 are 1/2 wave, groundplane independent antennas designed for terminal mount via a multi-position SMA or  RP-SMA connector respectively.

BKR868 1/2 Wave Dipole Antenna

 With an overall length of approximately 220mm and a gain of 2 dBi, the BKR868 and BKR915
are handy solutions for ISM frequency band applications where there is no groundplane available for a 1/4 wave antenna or where a little more performance from the antenna is required.

Both antennas are shipping with immediate effect.
