You may not find too many Wi-Fi antennae on VME or VPX boards, but they might be installed in the end system. And with 3U VPX’s promise for smaller chassis sizes, a 2″ Wi-Fi antenna might tuck right into place unnoticed. The Wi-Fi Pro Dual Band antenna from Spectrum Advanced Specialty Products operates on ISM 2.4 and 5.8 GHz bands and is specifically designed for military Wi-Fi LANs, mission-critical machine-to-machine communications, and embedded commercial Wi-Fi.
The omnidirectional antenna makes mounting as simple as finding space in the system. Hookup is via coax, connector, or direct mount. The IEEE 802.11n-(x) antenna withstands -55 °C to +85 °C and joins the company’s growing list of specialty and custom antenna products.
