Raltron Electronics has released its new RDM Series of MIMO antennas. Designed for various applications, including industrial IoT, transportation, and communication systems, these antennas satisfy the increasing demand for multi-frequency solutions that provide enhanced performance, efficiency, and durability in challenging environments.
The series MIMO antennas support a wide range of frequencies from 690MHz to 5.85GHz, including LTE, Wi-Fi, GPS, GNSS, LoRa, and more. The series includes antennas with features such as IP67 waterproof ratings and a MineProx proximity detection system for use in underground mines, ensuring they are built to withstand harsh environmental conditions.
The antenna series features increased data capacity by transmitting multiple independent data streams simultaneously over the same frequency channel, gaining attention for its ability to supply multiple frequency allocations in a single radome. A 4x4 MIMO system can transmit four times as much data as a single-antenna system within the same channel bandwidth. One of the series antennas was developed to support GNSS for satellite location, LTE for communication, Wi-Fi for data sharing and LoRa for emergencies, all in one unit. This versatility makes these antennas excellent for utility metering, logistics, transportation, mining, etc.
"Our new RDM Series MIMO antennas are well-suited for applications that require high performance in rugged conditions," said Lawson Williams, Antenna Product Manager at Raltron. "Raltron antenna optimisation services are tailored to the customer's application, which improves overall efficiency, reduces noise, and maximises performance," said Williams. "We work closely with our clients to ensure the antennas we deliver are perfectly suited to their systems."
