"Yacht" and "BOOTE" magazines have awarded Amphenol Procom's CXL-2-1L marine antenna as ‘Best on Test’ for maritime applications.

The CXL 900-8C is an 8dBd gain vertically polarized, omnidirectional base station antenna for the 900MHz cellular bands. Available in 2 models, the antenna is supplied with a "C" mast bracket, which is a universal, epoxy-coated mounting bracket made of non-corrosive aluminium. The accompanying U-bolts and fittings are made of stainless steel.

The 7478000 log periodic antenna is designed to cover LTE bands from 690-2700MHz which are generally used in rail and road tunnels to give coverage in dead spots.

Amphenol Procom has an extensive range of products for a wide variety of RF applications. Within the product range, are many "hidden gems" that you may not be aware of – an example is the DPF 70/6-150 series which we like to bring to your attention.

Commercial vehicles often have a box body that protrudes over the driver's cab. If a radio antenna is mounted on the driver's cab, the box body usually shades the radio waves to the rear.

With the increasing need to optimise usage of every antenna mast, more and more signals are being combined at the base station radio site. Fitting this large amount of combining/radio equipment into the available racking is a constant challenge for the radio installer/integrator.

Recent storms at the beginning of this year such as Storm Ciara battered the UK. Wind speeds above 80 mph caused a huge amount of structural damage throughout the country.

Selecting the correct antenna for your radio system can be fraught with difficulty. There are many things to consider, including ensuring the correct frequency, positioning, electrical requirements among other things.

Public safety and mission-critical networks are migrating to LTE. Connected vehicles need highly reliable wireless broadband connections which can support ultra-fast access to databases, voice, mapping or streaming video as part of a highly intelligent communication system. Fleet Management, Public Transport and First Responders also have a multitude of operational communication requirements.
