PCTEL Introduces MAXRAD Wideband Antennas to Cover WiMAX Frequencies

PCTEL, Inc., a leader in Wireless Broadband Solutions, today introduced the MAXRAD high-gain, wideband sector panel Antenna for WiMAX Base stations. This MAXRAD series of antennas cover 2.3 to 2.7GHz and 3.3 to 3.8GHz frequency bands, available in 60 degree and 65 degree beam. PCTEL will be demonstrating its WiMAX base station antennas as well as its portfolio of GPS, Mobile and other infrastructure antenna solutions at the 2007 3GSM World Congress in Barcelona. PCTEL's booth will be located at 2C71 in Hall 2.

The wideband frequency coverage minimizes the number of antennas required to cover the WiMAX frequency bands. The antenna radiation patterns have been optimized to provide market leading RF coverage solutions providing 18dBi of gain in a 48 inch tall radome structure and up to 17dBi of gain in 28 inch radome structure. The MAXRAD sector panel antennas have been designed with a superior front to back ratio minimizing interference and allowing for installation on communication towers already congested with radio equipment.

"Growth in WiMAX continues to be driven by need for seamless ubiquitous broadband wireless access for voice, video, and data applications. We are proud to have responded to market demand with the MAXRAD high performance antenna solutions that provide optimized coverage, high gain and options that allow for mounting flexibility," said Jeff Miller, General Manager of the Broadband Technology Group. "As the demand for WiMAX coverage increases, we will continue to provide MAXRAD antenna products to remain consistent with our mission in becoming the leader in the high growth WiMAX and broadband antenna solutions market," added Miller.
