Sector Panel Antennas for

Wi-Fi and WiMAX WIPOP Applications

his new line of directional,

high-performance

MAXRAD sector panel antennas

establishes a new price/perform-

ance standard for wireless Internet

point-of-presence (WIPOP) net-

work sites. Competitively priced

for Internet Service Provider (ISPs)

and network installer customers,

these sector panel antennas offer

electrical and mechanical features

at price points unavailable in

today’s market. They operate

within the Wi-Fi and WiMAX

unlicensed bands, and are

designed to address specific physi-

cal and electrical requirements to

ensure optimal wireless coverage

in WIPOP installations.

One model—the MSB2401690

shaped beam sector panel

antenna—utilizes pattern-shap-

ing technology to allow con-

toured coverage and optimal

signal performance within the

desired propagation area. The

shaped beam sector panel

antenna covers frequencies from

2.4 GHz to 2.5 GHz with 16 dBi

gain and outstanding front-to-

back ratio of more than 28 dB.

Also new, the WISP24017MBH

is a 2.4 GHz horizontally polar-

ized sector panel antenna that

offers user-selectable horizontal

beamwidth options of 45, 60, 90

or 120 degrees, and up to 17 dBi

gain performance in a compact,

UV-resistant housing. Its front-to-

back ratio of over 30 dB at 120, 90

or 60 degrees, and over 26 dB at

45 degrees

ensures that the

radiated energy

is targeted

towards the area

of coverage,

while a typical

cross-polariza-

tion discrimina-

tion of over 26

dB ensures

minimum inter-

ference from

neighboring

vertically polarized antennas.

In addition, two new models

covering 2700 MHz to 2900 MHz

frequencies are being introduced.

The WISP28016MBH horizontally

polarized, and WISP28016MBV

vertically polarized sector anten-

nas provide user-adjustable hori-

zontal beamwidth options of 90 or

60 degrees, with a front-to-back

ratio of >25 dB in the horizontally

polarized model, and over 35 dB in

the vertically polarized model.

These antennas feature typical

cross-polarization discrimination

of over 20 dB or better in high RF

traffic areas, with a gain perform-

ance of 14 dBi at 90 degrees, and

16 dBi at 60 degrees. To comple-

ment the line, a new wideband

adjustable sector panel antenna,

covering 4.9 GHz to 6 GHz fre-

quencies will soon be available for

use in applications within the Wi-

Fi, WiMAX and public safety bands

at 4.9 GHz. Visit TESSCO.com or call

800-472-7373 for more information.

Broadband Solutions Using VDSL Technology

ow can hospitality facili-

ties such as hotels and

cruise ships offer a broadband

Internet connection to its guests

without major rewiring costs?

The answer is a new technol-

ogy called very high data rate

digital subscriber line (VDSL).

VDSL is a high-speed broadband

technology that offers high-

speed performance over existing

telephone wiring. VDSL allows

you to share an Internet connec-

tion amongst guests or tenants,

as if they each had their own

separate broadband connection.

All types of DSL technologies

operate over the existing copper

telephone cabling. They use

higher frequencies over the cop-

per wire to introduce data signals

without interfering with the

lower frequency voice signal.

The speed achievable is depend-

ent upon the distance from the

local exchanges and the quality

of the copper wiring. This is why

the availability of asymmetric

DSL for telephone subscribers is

dependent upon how far away

they are from the local telephone

exchange. But VDSL does not

have these restrictions. Since

it operates only over the in-

building wiring, it is not limited

by distance as long as the wiring

does not extend more than

1.5 kilometers.

SMC Networks has what

you need to install VDSL in an

existing building:

• SMC7724M/VSW VDSL

Switch—connects local and

remote data devices to the

internal VDSL network.

• SMC7024/7048/VSP VDSL

Splitters—combine voice and

data streams over existing

telephone wiring systems.

• SMC 7500A VDSL Modem—

used to split out the voice

and data signals from the

combined VDSL signal at

the customer’s premise in

their room or office.

TESSCO has these SMC

Networks products in stock. Visit

imes Microwave Systems

announces the availability of

the EZ-240-SM and EZ-240-SM-RA

connectors for LMR-240 low-loss

coaxial cable. These straight and

right angle SMA plugs attach to the

cable without soldering, making

them ideal for field installation.

The center contact attaches to the

center conductor of the cable via

beryllium copper spring fingers

and the outer contact is made via a

crimp onto the outer braid of the

cable. Each connector is individu-

ally packaged with installation

instructions and dual-wall, adhe-

sive-lined shrink tubing for strain

relief and weather protection.
