Do we have antennas similar to MTI’s part # MT-263005/N? Yes, we do!   We offer two equivalent antennas listed below…   Laird Connectivity # PA9-12: This Laird part is similar in size and offers 12 dBic. It’s a flat panel directional antenna that offers high-gain in a thin, low-profile package. It is linear polarized and operates on the ISM band of 902-928 MHz MTI # MT-263006/N: This MTI part is also similar in size and offers 12 dBic. It’s a linear polarized directional antenna that operates on the ISM band of 902-928 MHz. To keep updated with our promos...

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...

I wanted to offer feedback to all of you that I received from a customer this week, he offered an explanation for the water ingress of IP67 rated antennas from his experience...   I have a background in seismic exploration equipment - lots of field experience. We once had equipment deployed in Texas which would fill with water no matter what we did and the problem was everything we worked on, we worked on for months. Ultimately, we built cases from custom aluminum extrusion with machined grooves for O-rings and 3/8 inch plate aluminum against the O-rings. Not enough - water...

Recently, a customer complained that an IP67 panel antenna (in this case for RFID) that he purchased at our website www.arcantenna.com had taken on water, he asked if this is acceptable. Well, I do have an issue with an IP67 antenna taking on water, technically it should not happen, but...    The way IP67 is defined is that IP stands for “ingress protection” and the first digit denotes solid particle protection (dust) and the “6” rating means that the ingress of dust is not entirely prevented, but it won’t enter in sufficient quantities to interfere with the operation of the antenna.   ...
