The Poynting HELI-17-RH is a set of 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi antennas, radiating in both directions (i.e. bi-directional), which make them ideal for the coverage of the 2.4 GHz in mining and other type of tunnels. These antennas are typically used for the deployment of IoT within the tunnel to provide telemetry and mine automation. These antennas are available in both Left-Hand Circular (LHC) & Right-Hand Circular (RHC) polarised antenna elements to provide optimal decorrelation within a MIMO deployment when using the BRKT-45, resulting in optimum performance. The decorrelation is due to the polarisation difference and spatial diversity, between the two antenna elements, which enhances MIMO performance and RF reliability within a mining tunnel. The Wi-Fi connection propagates around tunnel bends in a Non-Line of Sight scenario and provides immunity to many Wi-Fi signal disrupting objects such as trains and drilling machinery which appear to obscure the tunnel.
Product Features:
- The antenna features a single 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi port for reliable connectivity.
- It is especially designed for mining operations and tunnel environments where rapid network extension is required.
- The bi-directional design radiates signals in both directions along the tunnel axis.
- Left-hand and right-hand circular polarization options are available to support MIMO configurations.
- An intrinsically safe version is available upon request for use in hazardous environments.
Application Areas:
- It supplements fibre or leaky feeder cable “hotspots†to extend network coverage into inaccessible areas.
- The antenna supports underground telemetry and automation systems.
- It enables the creation of comprehensive underground data networks, providing internet and LTE connectivity throughout tunnels.
- It ensures seamless connectivity for personnel using cellular phones, smart devices, and tablets in subterranean environments.
