Pulse Electronics has added a line of white antennas to its popular Clarity family of DAS, ultra-thin, ceiling-mount, Omni-directional antennas. This extension to the translucent Clarity antenna family, offers a lower cost, yet high performance antenna that fits the aesthetic requirements of many buildings and public places. It can be installed with Pulse’s new solid-ceiling adapter that makes antenna installation amazingly simple, even in hard-pan ceilings without easy installation access.
This new Clarity White family covers cellular bands from 608 to 2700 MHz. This series of DAS antennas has exceptional PIM performance, with a rating better than -155 dBc at 2x20 watts (2x43 dBm). The antennas meet global wireless carrier requirements, including AT&T and Verizon Wireless. The ultra-thin antenna extends just 0.33 inches (8.4mm) below the ceiling. It is 9.41 inches (239mm) in diameter, so it’s hardly noticeable. It blends in with the ceiling so is ideal for providing wireless network access in hotels, convention centers, formal spaces, older buildings with low ceilings, and shallow spaces.
This new installation adapter (part number: DASCLINSERT) eliminates the problem of trying to install an antenna in ceilings where there is limited access above the antenna for installation. This is not a problem for drop-ceilings, but in areas with extensive industrial design and where visual appeal is important, there’s usually not enough room. It uses a blind-hole type of installation that can be installed in a ceiling with a simple 1/8th turn-and-lock rotation. It does not induce PIM and doesn’t affect the low profile installation of the Clarity family.
The Clarity White family consists of six antenna variants plus a reflector, a total 12 number of variants in the Clarity family. Parts include the: DASUTWC500NF and DASUTWCR500NF with N female connector, the DASUTWC500MD and DASUTWCR500MD with 4.1-9.5 mini-DIN connector, and the DASUTWC5004310 and DASUTWCR5004310 with 4.3-10 connector, either with or without an energy director.
Samples of the Clarity White antennas are currently available from Pulse Electronic with a production time is 4-6 weeks for larger orders.
