Terminal 1/4-wave Dual ISM Band Antenna
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The PCTEL Terminal 1/4-Wave Dual ISM Band Antenna is a compact, high-performance antenna designed for wireless communication in the ISM (Industrial, Scientific, and Medical) bands. It provides omnidirectional coverage, making it ideal for IoT, telemetry, industrial automation, and wireless data transmission applications.
This antenna is a quarter-wave whip antenna designed for dual-band ISM applications. It operates in two different ISM frequency bands, allowing it to support multiple wireless communication protocols such as LoRa, Zigbee, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and sub-GHz telemetry systems.
It features a compact, flexible design, making it ideal for portable devices, industrial sensors, and machine-to-machine (M2M) communication.
