The Poynting HELI-8 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 IS equipment is required.
The HELI 8 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. HELI-8 is a bi-directional antenna whilst the closely related HELI-3 fires in one direction. This antenna gives you a low-cost network infrastructure for current voice and data needs in mines and tunnels.
Product Features:
- The antenna is bi-directional, radiating signals in both directions to maximize coverage.
- It delivers proven performance to ensure maximum communication range.
- Circular polarization improves signal reliability by reducing multipath interference.
- The design is ideal for mining and tunneling applications that require robust connectivity.
- It provides high gain over the 2400 MHz Wi-Fi band for stable, high-throughput performance.
Application Areas:
- It supplements fiber 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 with Internet connectivity.
- It ensures seamless connections for personnel using VoIP phones, smart devices, and tablets in subterranean environments.
