Poynting HELI-8-IS Wi-Fi Mine/Tunnel Antenna 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 HELI-8-IS is an Intrinsically Safe (IS) antenna with a high resistivity non static radome. This antenna is also suitable for oil/gas chemical environments where IS equipment is required. 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.
- It is ideal for mining and tunneling applications that require robust connectivity.
- The device provides high gain over the 2400 MHz Wi-Fi band for stable, high-throughput performance.
- The intrinsically safe design makes it suitable for use in hazardous environments.
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 with Internet connectivity.
- It ensures seamless connection for personnel using VoIP phones, smart devices, and tablets in subterranean environments.
