PCTEL’s Omnidirectional Antennas Optimize
802.11ac MIMO Performance
PCTEL, Inc. (Nasdaq:PCTI), a leader in Performance
Critical TELecom solutions, announced today a series
of 802.11ac antennas designed to boost Wi-Fi data rates for outdoor
venues and public spaces. Enterprise-grade Wi-Fi access points
leverage dual-band 802.11ac MIMO technology to deliver high-speed
data to large crowds of users. MIMO delivers the best data rates
when antennas are cross polarized. PCTEL’s new BOAH line of
horizontally polarized base station omnidirectional antennas forms
a cross-polarized, dual-band antenna system when paired with
PCTEL’s existing line of vertically polarized BOA antennas.
Together, PCTEL’s horizontally and vertically polarized
omnidirectional antennas optimize MIMO performance and improve data
throughput rates for 802.11ac access points on both 2.4 and 5 GHz
bands.
“The best way to deliver true enterprise-grade Wi-Fi is to focus
on total system performance. PCTEL worked closely with leading
radio manufacturers to develop a horizontally polarized 802.11ac
antenna that works in concert with our existing BOA antennas,” said
Rishi Bharadwaj, Senior Vice President and General Manager of
PCTEL's Connected Solutions group. “In addition to antenna design
and manufacturing, we also offer engineering services for both
external and embedded systems,” added Bharadwaj.
PCTEL’s 802.11ac BOAH antennas are designed to meet stringent
OEM performance, installation, and durability requirements. They
are compact, yet provide 5 dBi gain for the greater coverage needs
of outdoor environments. N-female and NC-male configurations offer
installation flexibility. The antennas are IP67-rated, and they are
constructed of fiberglass for long-lasting performance in harsh
outdoor environments.
PCTEL will demonstrate its BOAH 802.11ac antennas June 26-28 at
the Cisco Live World of Solutions, booth #2636. The BOAH series
will be available in both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz models for shipment
this August. Contact PCTEL Connected Solutions or your sales
representative to place an order today.
