The SH-TP Series Sectors offer unique RF performance in a very compact package. Scalar horn antennas have symmetrical beams with identical patterns in the Vertical and Horizontal plain. Extremely small Side lobes are inherent to this type of antenna so interference is greatly decreased.
SH-TP Antennas are ideal for covering areas with close in clients where null zone issues occur. High density AP clusters and radio co-location is now practical due to very unique RF radiation patterns.
All SH-TP Antennas are equipped with a unique TwistPort™, our patent pending wave guide connector. TwistPort™ connectors are virtually loss-less and a revolutionary leap forward in wireless system scalability and convenience of deployment. SH-TP Antennas are compatible with any TwistPort™ equipped radios. Our antennas support a wide range of third party radios from mainstream vendors with our TwistPort™ Adapters along with our RF elements® Simper™ Radios.
Symmetrical Horn TP Antennas are scalar horn antennas with a symmetrical beam radiation pattern and an industry-changing TwistPortTM (TP) connector. They offer a perfect blend of features that solves major weak points of current mainstream sector antenna technologies.
Symmetrical Horn TP Antennas have a unique beam shape and characteristics. The beam section is circular: azimuth and elevation radiation angles are identical. The beam pattern does not vary with frequency and the antenna gain is balanced over a wide frequency range. These features make them excellent sector antennas.
Symmetrical Horn TP Antennas have no side lobes, they literally focus energy into one main signal beam. Such behavior saves the most important resource in wireless - the spectrum. Thanks to these unique radiating properties, the radio collects and propagates significantly less noise in comparison with current mainstream sector antennas. The problem of noise is directly connected to antenna side lobes - basically an unavoidable feature in most competitive products. Symmetrical Horn TP Antennas behave differently, being basically "deaf" outside their main beam.
Mainstream sector antennas have a radiation pattern that is very wide in azimuth cut but very flat in elevation cut. If an AP is too high, the customers that are too close will suffer from low AP signal.
Symmetrical Horn TP Antennas radiate a symmetrical circular beam pattern that is very similar to a simple flashlight. Because of their unique radiation pattern, Symmetrical Horn TP Antennas can cover nearby areas much easier than mainstream sector antennas.
Symmetrical Horn TP Antennas feature our industry-changing TwistPortTM connector, a patent-pending quick-locking waveguide port. TwistPortTM is virtually lossless: there are no coaxial RF connectors or RF cables that cause signal loss. Connecting radios is brilliantly simple - “twist and lock” - all done with one hand!
Symmetrical Horn TP Antennas have naturally attenuated side lobes and extremely low back radiation. They offer the best Front-to-Back Ratio in the industry and the lowest side lobe radiation. Symmetrical Horn TP Antennas are perfect for cluster sector installations with high co-location requirements.
Symmetrical Horn TP Antennas offer breakthrough scalability options for wireless systems. Unique beam performance and great co-location characteristics allow for a higher density of sectors than a traditional sector technology.
Symmetrical Horn TP Antennas come with precise radiation angles, ranging from 30 to 90 degrees: a wide range of models suitable for any situation.
Our wide range of TwistPortTM Adaptors allows you to connect major connectorized radios, such as UBNTTM, MikroTikTM or Cambium NetworksTM, directly to any TwistPortTM-enabled antenna.
Symmetrical Horn TP Antennas are solid metal bodies that are built to last and to resist any weather conditions. We use only the best materials: die cast, stamped and extruded aluminium; high quality ABS plastic; and stainless steel hardware.
Symmetrical Horn TP Antennas are very compact, with only 20-25% footprint of traditional sector antennas. This compact size saves tower rental fees, and makes it possible to install Symmetrical Horn TP Antennas in places where regular sectors would not be allowed due to their shape and size.
Symmetrical Horn TP Antennas come pre-assembled from the factory and ready for immediate deployment. The installation is very easy and requires only a single tool.
