New Pentaband and LTE/4G articulating captive mount antennas

EAD is pleased to introduce two new multi-position captive stud mount antennas, the PTF2100 and the LTF7270. Based on our successful PTR2100 and WTR7270 antennas respectively, both antennas offer a terminal mount antenna solution without the need to use a bulkhead (or panelmount) SMA connector on the enclosure.

PTF2100/LTF7270 terminal antenna

Both antennas have an articulating base that locks in 3 positions, vertical, horizontal and at 45 degrees. The antennas mount by way of a threaded stud and are held in place by a locking nut. Through the middle of the stud a coaxial cable feeds the antennas via a IPEX (U.FL compatible) connector.

The PTF2100 and the LTF7270 are ideal for 3G/GSM and 4G/LTE Multiaband terminals/routers respectively where the radio modules have on board connectors and for applications where users should be discouraged from removing the antenna from the terminal.  For more information on both antennas, please contact us.
