Overview

The CompleTech CA860B2 is a bidirectional broadside antenna designed for reliable communication in the 830-890 MHz frequency range. This antenna offers a consistent 6 dBi gain with vertical polarization, ensuring effective signal transmission and reception for applications such as private networks, industrial IoT, and telemetry systems. Constructed with a durable ABS/FG PU foam radome and a copper radiator, the CA860B2 provides excellent resistance to environmental factors and structural integrity. It features an N-female connector for secure and efficient signal coupling. The antenna maintains a low VSWR of less than 1.5, which minimizes signal reflection and loss, thereby maximizing power transfer. Designed for straightforward installation, the CA860B2 is compatible with poles ranging from 35 mm to 60 mm in diameter. Its robust construction allows it to withstand wind loads of up to 50 N, making it suitable for outdoor deployment in challenging conditions. The CA860B2's specifications align with industrial communication needs, offering dependable performance and longevity. Its broadside radiation pattern is optimized for point-to-point or point-to-multipoint communication links where bidirectional signal propagation is essential. The use of copper for the radiator ensures high conductivity and signal efficiency. The ABS/FG PU foam radome protects the internal components from moisture, UV radiation, and physical impact, contributing to its operational lifespan. This antenna is a practical choice for extending network coverage or establishing dedicated communication channels in industrial settings.
