The CP range wireless antenna from Saelig Company Inc. is based on a common rubberized low-profile “puck” design with a built-in central threaded mount. It supports cellular and 3G frequencies (824-896/1710-2170 MHz), which are ideal for North American machine-to-machine (M2M) and telemetry applications.

The CP antennas offer 2- to 3-dB gain for linearly polarized signals and are ground-plane independent. Measuring 102 by 33.5 mm, the antennas are 1/2 wave radiating elements rated at 10 W and supplied with 1 to 3 m of cable terminated with a surface mount assembly (SMA) male connector.

Several versions are available. The CPO is a 3G and GSM antenna with a frequency range of 870-960/1710-2170 MHz, which is ideal for metering, telemetry, and telematics applications where a high-quality discrete antenna is needed. The CPW is a dual-band, 2.4- to 2.5-GHz and 4.9- to 6.0-GHz antenna that enables connectivity to 2.4-GHz devices well as the whole 5-GHz frequency band. It is ideal for wireless local-area network (WLAN), Bluetooth, and ZigBee applications requiring a discrete antenna with high performance.

The antennas are screw-mounted and require a 20-mm mounting hole. The cable exits on the underside of the antenna. Once mounted, it is totally enclosed, secure, and waterproof, held in place by a flanged nut that is tightened from underneath.

As the CP antenna platform is modular, the design can be modified to support any frequency from 800 MHz upwards, including support for single-band, specific applications. An optional stainless steel wall- mount bracket is also available to facilitate wall-mounting.
