A customer wanted to know what antenna they could install utilizing an NMO mount that would connect to a Kentwood NX-800k radio, a radio similar to our MPLCJ8.   Our recommendations for antenna:   B4505CNS: This Laird antenna is a chrome 32 inch UHF whip antenna that doesn’t need a ground plane. It also features a spring base for bumpy roads. B4502NS: This Laird/ Antenex B4502NS antenna is a 15 in long, chrome base coil omnidirectional whip antenna that operates in the 450-470 MHz frequency range. A metal ground plane is not required for this part.   Our NMO mount...

In the past we had a client approach us looking for a good quality 2 meter and 70-centimeter mobile antenna that had decent VSWR on MURS (Multi-Use Radio Service) and GMRS (General Mobile Radio Service). They wanted an antenna that would have a bandwidth to cover both GRMS and MURS frequencies, so we have three recommendations. We recommend the WPD136M6C-001, the RBC150/450/758, and the NMO2/70B.   The RFMAX WPD136MC-001 is a multi-band heavy duty mobile antenna that operates throughout the VHF, UHF and P25 bands. It has an IP rating of 66 meaning that it can withstand high volumes of dust, and...

Q) Do you carry a magnetic mount antenna for the Cradlepoint IBR900 with GPS + Dual Cellular + Dual Wi-Fi?   A) We certainly can provide a magnetic mount antenna(s) for the IBR900. We have two options that we can convey to you all.   Our first option is RFMAX’s “brick” antenna RBMM-G44WW-17-SSSRR-B. It’s a compact, low profile, ultra-rugged magnetic antenna that’s designed for M2M machine-to-machine applications. It’s optimized for Cradlepoint: IBR1100, IBR900. Sierra Wireless: GX450. PepLink: Max BR1 Pro, Max TST. Motorola: VML750.  Netcom Wireless: NTC-1410W. Maestro Wireless: E220. Our second and final option Is RFMAX’s black Five-in-One Vehicular antenna G44WW-17SSSRR....

A client was recently looking for a new MIMO omnidirectional antenna for 3G/4G/LTE. He expressed his confusion and stated that he was originally looking at EAD’s LMO7270 but hoping to receive other ideas. So we come to the main point of this blog, do we have the EAD’s LMO7270 or an equivalent? Yes.   We offer multiple antennas for your dual 3G/4G/LTE MIMO needs, but the ones we recommend are RFMAX’s RBDM-44-SS-6 and RBMM-44-SS-6. RBDM-44-SS-6 is RFMAX’s direct mount MIMO 3G/4G/LTE/Diversity LTE cellular antenna. With dimensions of 7.9 in x 3.5 in x1.8 in, it’s a compact and ultra-rugged antenna designed...

Recently we had a client inquire about our ROSA-900-SNF antenna. The client wanted to know if we could make our ROSA-900-SNF with an N-male connector instead of an N-female connector. The answer to that is yes. we have the same antenna made with an N-Male connector with a part # ROSA-900-SNM.        The ROSA-900-SNM from RFMAX is also an outdoor rated, omnidirectional stick antenna except it’s made with an N-male connector instead of an N-female connector. This antenna is perfect for IoT usage in the US FCC 902-928 MHz range. It can be used indoors or outdoors and is...

Q) Can you tell me what the smallest Near-Field RFID UHF antenna Arcadian carries is?   A) Recently we received a question regarding the smallest Near-Field RFID UHF antenna we have in stock at Arcadian. The client was inquiring about an antenna that had a range of about 1.5 feet for a small pet door product that she was installing. Luckily we have many options, our Times-7 # A1001, A8060-71416, A1115-72028, and A1130-72023, all recommendations that would allow the client to have the frequency range she desires.       Our Times-7 # A1001 is a mini Near-Field antenna that operates at...
