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.

1/2 Wave 868 MHz and 915 MHz Multi-position terminal antennas

EAD's BKR868 and BKR915 are half-wave terminal, single band antennas operating at 868 MHz and 915 MHz respectively. As standard the BKR868 has a SMA-Male connector and the BKR915 has a RP-SMA plug connector, but both antennas can be fixed a vertical or horiztonal position or at 45 degrees.

BKR868 / BKR915 1/2 Wave ISM band antennas

Offering approximately 2 dBi gain on each band, the BKR868 and BKR915 are designed for use where a groundplane for an antenna is unavailable and antenna performance is required.

The BKR868 and BKR915 antennas are ideal for long range ISM frequency band terminals in such applications as telemetry, monitoring, RFID, tracking and security amongst many other types of deployment.

EAD has a range of 868 MHz and 915 MHz antennas - please contact us for more details at sales@ead-ltd.com

To help you identify the connectors if you are unsure about SMA and RP-SMA. We have posted images of SMA and RP-SMA below. SMA typically has a thread on the inside of the barrel and has a pin in the middle. RP-SMA also has a thread inside the barrel but no pin.

A generic SMA Male connector (similar to the connector on the BKR868) looks like this:

A generic RP-SMA plug connector (similar to the connector on the BKR915) looks like this:

You can purchase various SMA-Female / RP-SMA Female jack adapter cables to mate to the BKR antennas via the Connex webshop.
