We get this question often…what is the spacing of the ¼-20 mounting studs on the 10x10 inch RFID antennas? This family of antennas includes both FCC & ETSI models, and mounting plates with TWO or FOUR mounting studs. |

Another way of asking this question is about the difference between the S9028PCL96RTN and S9025PRNF UHF RFID antennas. To answer this question, the difference boils down to the relationship between an antenna's gain and beamwidth. |

Does a roof-mounted multi-band antenna need to be grounded for lightening or surge protection? We recently had a client reach out to us about an antenna that would work well for their Panasonic Toughbook 20. |

Will the FM2 bracket work for the Laird OD9 series?
Posted by Michael Crudele on
Unfortunately, the FM2 will not work with the OD9 series antennas from Laird, however, the OD9 series ship with a dual U-bolt mounting system. It a very basic mount but it works fine and we don’t have any other mounts to work with this system. If you are willing to expand your antenna search beyond the OD9 series to all small antennas that work in the 900 MHz range, we have two recommendations found below. ROSA-900-SNF: An RFMAX outdoor rated 900 MHZ omnidirectional stick antenna with N-Female connectors for IoT use in the US 902-928 MHz bands. The antenna...

Cellular Antenna to be mounted at Side of Building with 25 foot Extension Cables
Posted by Michael Crudele on
We recently had a client reach out to us about a cellular antenna that he wanted to place on the side of his building.

He also informed us that he was looking for a 25-foot cable extension and wanted to receive some recommendations. Considering part # 170653-000 is a dual cellular product and our assumption that your main concern is to have an antenna outside, we recommend 2 pcs of the Cradlepoint outdoor omnidirectional antenna # 170668-000. Part # 170668-000 is a...
