5G Antenna Announced

5G might not be a common way to access the Internet at home or at the office just yet, but the promise of the format becoming uniform is pushing companies to address the coming need now.  L-com, an Infinite Electronics brand introduced a new line of low-PIM rated, ceiling, omni and flat panel antennas this month to address sub-6 GHz in-building connectivity.

L-com’s new ceiling, omni and flat panel antennas are designed for use in indoor for distributed wireless networks where support of sub-6 GHz 5G, LTE, FirstNet or other telecommunication networks are required. They feature multiple options for form factor, connector count and connector type, a full wireless network deployment can be achieved using these new antennas to reliably cover an entire building with high quality Wi-Fi/cellular service.

These new antennas feature 600 MHz to 6 GHz operation, less than -150 dBc PIM rating, SISO and 2×2 MIMO configurations. They also boast Type-N and 4.3-10 connector options, low-profile ceiling mounts for improved aesthetics, and compatibility with all global sub-6 GHz 5G bands including extended CBRS and UNII-1.

The HG7420-series antennas cover 698 MHz to 4200 MHz frequency bands and the HG6580-series supports 617 MHz to 6000 MHz wireless network applications.

“Our new 5G ceiling, omni and panel antennas were developed to address the latest 5G network deployments where high-performance along with low-PIM ratings are a requirement. By offering these new antennas as stock, off-the-shelf products, we are able to meet our customers’ installation deadlines,” said Kevin Hietpas, Product Line Manager.

L-com’s new low-PIM, 5G antennas are in-stock and available for same-day shipping.
