Products description
The HELI-4-IS is a high gain, unidirectional antenna that complements our Wi-Fi MinePoynt tunnel and mine antennas. The combination of the MinePoynt beam antennas for long-distance connections through tunnels with this directional antenna leverages Poynting's fifteen years of experience in designing and manufacturing antennas for underground data networks. This antenna is also suitable for oil/gas chemical environments where intrinsically safe (IS) equipment is required. The tunnel antenna is the ideal antenna for wireless 2.4 - 2.5 GHz applications in tunnels. In tests, this antenna achieved both a higher data rate and a greater range than linearly polarized panel antennas with the same gain. The robust construction of this antenna makes it ideal for use in mining. With the HELI-4-IS you get a cost-effective network infrastructure for the current voice and data requirements in mines and tunnels.
