KP Performance Antennas has released a line of high-gain, dual-band sector antennas for use in wireless networks.
KP’s line of dual sector antennas is made up of seven models, each consisting of two or more sector antennas inside a single, rugged radome. The single mounting point of these antennas reduces inches on the tower, halves the tower rental costs and lowers wind resistance. They also provide a rapid upgrade path to add frequency bands without installing more infrastructure. These antennas are offered with four or eight ports and support 2×2, 4×4 and 8×8 MIMO, depending on the model.
The straight-on models in this line provide two forward-facing, high-gain, 65° or 90° sector antennas in a single radome, one for each frequency band and come in frequency combinations of 2GHz/3GHz, 2GHz/5GHz, 3GHz/5GHz or 5GHz/5GHz. They have clean patterns and provide complete 360° coverage while minimizing interference. Plus, they come with mounting space for two ePMP radios, have four N-Type female connectors and hot dip galvanized steel sector brackets. These antennas are ideal for point-to-multi-point applications using many of the popular radios in the WISP market.
The side-angle models combine two 65° sector antennas in a single radome and mounted 60° apart – two ports are angled at -60° and the other two ports at +60°, for a total of 120° of coverage utilizing two 2×2 MIMO radios on a single antenna. These antennas achieve complete 360° coverage while minimizing interference with only three side-angle sectors connected to six 2×2 MIMO radios around a tower in frequency reuse ABCABC.
