PCTEL Whip Antennas
PCTEL’s whip antennas are an excellent choice for many industrial, commercial, and communications applications requiring reliable, omnidirectional wireless performance. Even if potential obstructions lie in the immediate vicinity, a user should be able to receive a usable signal in all horizontal and vertical directions throughout the environment in which the whip antenna has been placed. This is, of course, assuming an ideal situation where no other interference is present.
Use cases for PCTEL's whip antennas include SCADA systems, public safety communications, utility monitoring, and reliable transportation (including vehicular and marine applications). Whip antennas are also used by IoT developers for stationary indoor and outdoor installations. They’re made from tough materials that resist corrosion, excessive vibration, and UV damage, among other stressors of environmental and operational origin. Like other antennas in the same family, PCTEL's whip antennas provide a well-balanced, sensible combination of gain and coverage. And even with those sensible performance characteristics, they’re very easy to install and use.
