New antennas from KP

Louise Davis

KP Performance Antennas has launched a new series of dual-band (dual-frequency), omni antennas offered in 2GHz/3GHz, 2GHz/5GHz and 3GHz/5GHz configurations.

The new line of consists of 3 models, each with 4 ports, dual-band functionality and horizontal/vertical (H/V) polarisation. These antennas provide two frequencies in a single radome enclosure with one mounting point. As they are dual-band, they enable 2x2 MIMO in each band or 4x4 MIMO across bands with carrier aggregation. These antennas deliver high-gain ranging from 10-12 dBi and operate in a range of dual frequencies from 2300-2700MHz + 3500-3800MHz, 2300-2700MHz + 5150-5850 MHz, and 3500-3800MHz + 5150-5850 MHz. All models utilise four N-type connectors.

By using low and high-band radios within a single antenna, this line provides different levels of coverage or service to the end user. Elevation beamwidth for this product line ranges from 7 to 10 degrees. The central function of these antennas is as a base station antenna for 2 GHz, 3 GHz and 5 GHz AP radios.
