Ventev Wireless Infrastructure's Handrail & Guardrail Antennas

Jeff Lime, VP of Ventev Wireless Infrastructure, part of Tessco Technologies, discusses the issues with overloaded cellular and wi-fi bandwidth and what they do to help enterprise customers and operators.

Ventev may not make the radio, but they do make all the accessories that support the deployment of the radios in their intended environment.

Wi-Fi coverage has been an issue for years, but now it's capacity that is the central issue.When a building doesn't have the architecture for a traditional deployment, what do you do? Ventev has an answer with its handrail and guardrail antennas.

Handrail Antenna – The small form factor Handrail Antenna measures 8.5” x 6.9” x 3” and easily fits most handrails without impacting Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements. Secured within a compact, watertight polycarbonate enclosure, the antenna is a dual-band, 3 dBi directional antenna with a 60/90 degree beamwidth. The enclosure attaches to the handrail with a pipe mount and stainless steel fasteners and includes four low-loss cables with RPSMA or RPTNC connectors to connect to the access point.

Guardrail Antenna – The slim Guardrail Antenna measures 8” x 10” x 2” and consists of a dual-band 3 dBi antenna housed within a rugged, impact-resistant polycarbonate enclosure. The internal antenna is field-adjustable with a +/- 20 degree tilt for precise coverage. It installs easily to any guardrail with stainless steel fasteners. Four low-loss cables with RPSMA or RPTNC connectors connect to the access point.
