PCTEL unveils dual polarization MIMO antenna for broadband wireless mobile apps

BARCELONA, SPAIN: PCTEL Inc., a leader in propagation and wireless network optimization solutions, unveiled its new Medallion™ Dual Polarization GPS Multi-Band mobile antenna.

The new model, based on the popular Medallion mobile antenna platform has been enhanced to provide MIMO coverage for broadband wireless frequencies used for voice, video and data transmission in public safety, emergency response and mass transit applications.

PCTEL’s new Medallion antenna provides dual vertical and horizontal polarization and diversity at 2.3 to 2.7 GHz frequencies commonly used for data and streaming video communications. The antenna enables enhanced data throughput with faster transfer speeds and decreased interference in urban areas with high levels of wireless activity. The modular design of the Medallion platform adapts easily to other frequency applications, including 3.5 GHz WiMAX.

The PCTEL Medallion antenna supports no tune, multi-band coverage of GSM 850/1900 and GSM 900/1800 frequencies as well as GPS L1 tracking. Other features include low profile housing and over-molded gasket design for water and dust ingress protection.

“Our Medallion platform has been extremely well received in the marketplace since its introduction last year,” said Jeff Miller, Vice President and General Manager of PCTEL’s Antenna Products Group. “We are pleased with the Medallion’s performance in emergency response, fleet management and locomotive applications. The platform’s versatility has allowed us to expand our offering by applying new technologies and added frequencies, as shown with this new multi-band MIMO antenna with GPS tracking,” added Miller.
