New GNSS Multi-Band Antenna Provides
Dual-Carrier LTE and 802.11ac MIMO Connectivity
PCTEL, Inc. (Nasdaq:PCTI), a leader in Performance
Critical TELecom solutions, announced its Coach™ II
antenna today at the International Wireless Communications Expo
(IWCE). Designed to support the latest multi-network routers for
intelligent transportation systems, public safety communications,
and the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), the Coach II enables
simultaneous dual-carrier LTE Advanced and 4x4 MIMO 802.11ac Wi-Fi
connectivity. The antenna also features PCTEL’s proprietary
multi-GNSS technology for location tracking and timing.
“Autonomous vehicles and connected fleet management applications
require extremely complex antenna systems to provide high data rate
and failsafe connectivity over several wireless networks,” said
Rishi Bharadwaj, PCTEL’s Senior Vice President and GM, Connected
Solutions. “The Coach II antennas demonstrate PCTEL’s advanced RF
design capabilities in developing optimized multi-technology
antenna systems with compact and robust form factors.”
The new Coach II antenna is equipped with nine antenna ports,
including four multi-band LTE ports for dual-carrier operation and
four dual-band Wi-Fi connections. It also features PCTEL’s
proprietary high rejection GNSS technology for reliable, precision
tracking and timing over GPS, GLONASS, QZSS, Galileo, and BeiDou
satellite systems. With a 33% lower profile than its
first-generation version, the new Coach II is ideal for mounting on
vehicles with low overhead clearance, or on IIoT locations with
limited installation height allowances. Its IP67 rated design
provides water and dust ingress protection under severe
environmental conditions, when installed according to PCTEL’s
installation instructions.
PCTEL is displaying Coach II among its portfolio of multi-band
public safety and fleet management antenna products at IWCE 2018 in
Orlando, Florida. The company is also featuring its latest test and
measurement solutions at booth #1951, March 7-8, 2018.
The Coach II antenna can be ordered now using part number
GL9X1AX-SF. Shipments are expected in May 2018.
