Products description
The HELI-8 is a high gain, bi-directional antenna that complements our Wi-Fi MinePoynt tunnel and mine antennas. The combination of the MinePoynt long-distance tunneling beam antennas with this directional antenna leverages Poynting's fifteen years of experience in developing and manufacturing antennas for underground data networks. This antenna is also suitable for chemical environments in the oil and gas industry where IS devices are required. The HELI 8 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. HELI-8 is a bidirectional antenna, while the closely related HELI-3 only transmits in one direction. With this antenna you get a cost-effective network infrastructure for current voice and data needs in mines and tunnels.
