Ventus Wireless has added two new 4G LTE wireless antennas to its product line of cellular wireless networking hardware. The Compact Dual Antenna (CDA) supports Ventus single module 4G LTE routers, and the Compact Quad Antenna (CQA) represents what the company said is "the industry's first antenna with support for dual module 4G LTE routers."
"The Compact Antennas have performed exceedingly well in the field. They pack a lot of power into a small package, said Chris Miller, director of electrical engineering and product development for Norwalk, Conn.-based Ventus Wireless.
Developed specifically to support Ventus Wireless routers, the 4G LTE CDA and CQA provide powerful performance and flexibility with a small footprint. These antennas boost signal and performance with spatial diversity and an omni-directional radiation pattern, which, according to the company, improve communication link quality, maximize reliability and offer flexibility in placement.
Additionally, the multiband CQA and CDA antennas support seamless and reliable failback to 3G, the company said. The antennas are designed with a wide base for stability and a low visual profile to reduce the likelihood of tampering. They offer flexibility of placement with a magnetic base that snaps on to metallic surfaces, or optional adhesive mounting strips for surface, wall or ceiling mount.
The Ventus 4G LTE V-Series consists of three enterprise class routers (the V4100, V4200 and V4500) offering redundant wireless 4G LTE gateways, up to a terabyte of storage and multiple interface options to support wireless backup and business continuity as well as primary wireless WAN; and two M2M class routers (the V1000 and V2000) offering an array of features and benefits for M2M applications like self-service kiosks, ATMs, digital signage, security and surveillance, vending and automobiles.
The embedded wireless modules permit the routers to seamlessly migrate between 4G LTE and 3G networks to optimize wireless service, while the V4X000 dual embedded models support two active wireless connections, creating unprecedented wireless routing capabilities.
