PCTEL Inc. has introduced a flexible, high-gain, low-profile panel antenna solution for WiMAX consumer premise equipment (CPE).

This antenna is available with a robust, flexible mounting bracket that allows a high degree of elevation and azimuth tilt and can be mounted on a mast or a wall. The antenna housing is also made available with a back plate that can be mated directly to an external CPE radio enclosure.

In addition, the antenna can be provided as a kit without the radome structure for integration into a CPE enclosure for a fully integrated CPE solution. The antenna provides a gain of 18 dBi and covers the 3.4 GHz to 3.6 GHz frequency range.

European WiMAX World recently awarded PCTEL second place for its innovative integrated variable eectrical tilt (iVET) WiMAX base station antenna that PCTEL announced earlier this year. PCTEL is developing a complete range of WiMAX base station antennas using the iVET technology that it acquired as part of its acquisition of Sigma Technologies.
