5 GHz Antenna Extends Range and Reliability
of Wi-Fi Signals from Wayside Equipment
PCTEL, Inc. (Nasdaq:PCTI), a leader in Performance
Critical TELecom solutions, announced today its new 5
GHz bi-directional train top antenna. Wi-Fi on passenger and metro
rail systems is evolving from a competitive advantage to a basic
service expectation. PCTEL’s new bi-directional antenna
communicates with wayside equipment in either direction from the
train, providing reliable passenger Wi-Fi while minimizing
installation and maintenance costs.
“In developing our new train top antenna, PCTEL engineers worked
closely with our customers in the rail industry. The result is a
reliable, cost-effective antenna solution to the challenge of
providing high-speed Wi-Fi over extended track distances,” said
Rishi Bharadwaj, Senior Vice President and General Manager of
PCTEL's Connected Solutions group. “PCTEL also provides antenna
farm design services to maximize the performance of multiple
antenna systems on crowded train tops,” added Bharadwaj.
PCTEL’s train top is ruggedized for high-vibration environments
and meets EN50155 and AAR certification requirements for use in
Europe and North America. It is designed for metallic or
non-metallic roof mounting on crowded train tops with no available
ground plane. The antenna’s high port-to-port performance
correlation and symmetrical patterns minimize interference between
signals, maximizing data throughput performance and
reliability.
PCTEL will display its new bi-directional train top antenna
along with other antenna solutions for rail at the 57th Annual RSSI
C&S Exhibition in Indianapolis, Indiana, September 18-19, in
booth #1437. The antenna can be ordered using part number
PCT-RSABD-DP and will be available for shipment by December 2017.

There is a U.S. patent pending for the technology described in
this press release.
