The Poynting HELI-4-IS is a high gain, directional antenna which complements our Wi-Fi MinePoynt tunnel and mine antennas. The combination of MinePoynt beam antennas, for long distance thru-tunnel links, with this directional antenna, exploits Poynting’s fifteen years’ experience in designing and manufacturing antennas for underground mining data networks. This antenna is also suitable for oil/gas chemical environments where intrinsically safe (IS) equipment is required. The tunnel antenna is the ideal antenna for 2.4 - 2.5 GHz wireless applications in tunnels. In tests, both the data rate and range achieved with this antenna was greater than obtained when using linearly polarized panel antennas of the same gain. The hardy construction of this antenna makes it ideal for the mining environment. The HELI-4-IS gives you a low-cost network infrastructure for current voice and data needs in mines and tunnels
Product Features:
- The antenna is uni-directional, focusing signal propagation on a single direction.
- It delivers high gain across the 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi band for reliable connectivity.
- Circular polarisation reduces multipath interference to improve performance.
- The design offers versatile mounting options for installation on walls, poles, or machinery.
- It is lightweight, making installation and handling easier.
Application Areas:
- It supplements fibre and cable networks by providing wireless “hotspots†in inaccessible areas such as mines and tunnels.
- The antenna supports underground telemetry systems for real-time monitoring and control.
- It enables the creation of comprehensive tunnel- and mine-wide data networks and internet connectivity.
- It ensures seamless connections for personnel using VoIP phones, smart devices, and tablets underground.
- The device is suitable for machine-to-machine (M2M) applications in remote environments.
- It facilitates the extension of wireless connectivity on oil rigs, refineries, and factories where intrinsically safe equipment is required.
