Pulse Electronics has introduced a new edition in the Clarity family of antennas that operates at UHF band frequencies including 380-520 MHz and 698-960 MHz to improve public safety radio coverage. The Clarity-Pearl antennas deliver an architecturally pleasing solution to requirements set by the International Fire Code and National Fire Protection Association (IFC/NFPA) codes for public safety in-building communication. Their ultra-thin white UV stabilized plastic radome is 311 mm in diameter and protrudes just 9.5mm below the ceiling for the lowest in-building antenna profile in the industry. They provide an antenna solution for challenges created by multi-story structures with weak propagation characteristics and basements with low ceilings.
These antennas have been developed to provide clear, reliable reception in buildings where public safety is involved, without compromising appearance. They can be used in public safety repeater systems in hospitals, malls, high-profile office buildings, government facilities, schools, and low-ceiling basement deployments without become an eyesore.
Pulse Electronics’ Clarity-Pearl family of in-building public safety antennas has a maximum VSWR of 2:1. It is RoHS compliant and meets UL94-V0 flammability requirements. Its 500mm coax pigtail assembly with N-Female connector makes installation easy. The antennas are sold in bulk and samples are available. These antennas are being showcased at the DAS and Small Cell Congress Europe, in Munich, Germany, on December 9th and 10th in booth 18.
