PCTEL Unveils Wide Spectrum LMR Antenna at IWCE

PCTEL's PCTWSLMR antenna provides outstanding coverage of VHF and UHF frequencies (136-174MHz, 380-520MHz and 762-870MHz) in a ready-to-install, no tune design. Its multi-band elements are housed in a rugged, impact-resistant housing for maximum durability and its base is designed to interface with standard NMO mobile mounts to facilitate existing installation upgrades on public safety vehicles.

"Nearly a decade after the attacks of September 11, 2001 that severely challenged our country's emergency communications infrastructure, the FCC has mandated that the 700 MHz public safety mobile broadband networks use Long Term Evolution (LTE) to support roaming and interoperable communications for public safety applications," said Jeff Miller, Senior Vice President Sales and Marketing for PCTEL. "Our new wide spectrum, multi-band antenna uses leading edge technology to support new multi-band LMR radios and provide seamless coverage for future mission critical communications. As a leading supplier of antennas for land mobile radio and public safety applications, PCTEL is actively working with leading LMR radio manufacturers to develop optimal antenna solutions to ensure excellent performance and reliability of these new networks," added Miller.

PCTEL will demonstrate its new wide spectrum multi-band antenna along with its portfolio of public safety antenna products at the IWCE Exhibition in Las Vegas, March 9-11, 2011. Please Visit the PCTEL booth #5129. PCTEL's PCTWSLMR antenna will be available for sale by the end of April. Further details can be obtained from our website at www.antenna.com.
