PANEL ANTENNA FOR WIFI MIMO NETWORKS

Itasca, IL, February 1, 2015 – Mobile Mark, Inc. as introduced a new WiFi MIMO 6x Panel Antenna for 802.11ac networks.  The antenna featured six separate connection ports in order to provide optimum WiFi MIMO (multiple-input-multiple-output) performance for the new 802.11ac modems.

The antenna provides coverage on both 2.4-2.5 & 4.9-6.0 GHz.  This allows the antenna to operate on the 5 GHz band for 802.11ac, but also be backwards  ompatible for 802.11n and 802.11b/g modems.

The PND10-W-AC6-GRY panel antenna achieves WiFi MIMO performance by using multiple polarizations for the six elements housed within the antenna.  Jerry Posluszny, Director of Engineering, explained that, “This new 6 port MIMO antenna features quad-polarization: vertical, horizontal, slant -45°, and slant +45° for state-of-the-art WiFi MIMO technology.”

According to Michael Berry, President of Mobile Mark, Inc., “The new 802.11ac networks are designed for high density, high capacity usage.  To perform as they are intended to perform, the antennas need to match the capabilities of the modems and provide the same 6x MIMO coverage.  We are excited that our new Panel Antenna provides that kind of operation for a 6x
WiFi MIMO system.

The antenna offers 8 dBi gain on the 2.4 GHz band and 10 dBi gain on the 5 GHz band.  These gain levels provide wireless coverage over a longer distance while still providing adequate beamwidth coverage for easy installation and alignment.  The antenna covers 100° azimuth x 60° elevation at 2.4 GHz and 40° azimuth x 45° elevation at 5 GHz. Alignment is also aided by the
swivel tilt mount that comes with the antenna.

The WiFi MIMO antenna gets high marks for its  fficiency with a minimum front-to-back ratio of 20 dB and an antenna isolation figure of greater than 20 dB. It is designed to handle up to 20 watts of power.

Compact and attractive, this antenna will fit in well with any 802.11ac WiFi MIMO installation.
