We had a customer come in on Friday asking for NMO mounting solutions for Laird's 3G/4G PHANTOM antennas.  Specifically, he was looking for "high-frequency" mounting, which is typically used when the frequency used is 900 MHz or more.   For example, Laird's TRA821/18503P, TRA806/17103P, TRA6927M3PB-001   So, here is my reply...   There are two ways to go, You can use Magnetic NMO mounting or you can use the standard NMO "roof type" mounts which require that you drill a hole in your mounting surface (vehicle roof, enclosure, etc.)  In my first post, I'll address the magnetic mounts.   Magnetic Mount.  For magnetic...

Ok, so here are my suggestions for high -frequency NMO cable kits.  These kits all have 17 foot LMR 195 cables and are appropriate for Laird Phantom style antennas.   MB195: this is the mount style you need.   This product is a 3/4 inch, brass NMO "roof mount" with 17 feet of LMR195 style cable, and NO connector.  This is appropriate for use with antennas for 900 MHz and up.  900 MHz ISM, 3G/4G-LTE (700- 2700 MHz) 2.4 GHz & 5 GHz Wi-Fi, etc.     Here are some popular models:   MB195: BLACK COAX CABLE KIT: 17 FEET LMR195 TYPE...

You already know how great Laird's newly released (June 2012) 3G/4G-LTE Phantom antennas are.  They are simply your best solution for 698-2700 Mhz vehicular and M2M applications.  Now, we have our first, officially released case study from Laird for these models.  Please click the link below to read the full case study.   https://disti-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/arcadianinc/files/datasheets/17588.pdf   The ChallengeThe four primary kiosk installation formats are indoor stand-alone, indoor wall, indoor glass, and outdoor. A majority of these installations will require the use of LTE/Cellular wireless technology. The challenge is to find an antenna product that is high performing, very robust, and aesthetically pleasing to complement the surrounding environments....

Over the years, we've had customers tell us that they prefer the UHF RFID antennas from MTI Wireless Edge over Laird Technologies / Cushcraft.  When we ask why the answer is "performance."  So I began asking, is this "actual performance" or specified performance, per the datasheet.  Well, the answer was overwhelming based on "specs" not actual field testing.   So, we decided to put together a side - by - side comparison.   The models: Circular Polarized UHF RFID antennas. Laird S9028PL & S9028PR, PAL90209HFNF & PAR90209HFNF   vs.   MTI MT-262006/TRH/A/K Linear Polarized UHF RFID antennas. Laird PA9-12  ...
