Poynting A-HELI-0006-V1-01 Uni-directional Tunnel Antenna – Gray

Overview

The HELI-6 is a high gain directional LTE antenna that complements our MinePoynt mine and tunnel antennas. MinePoynt antennas utilize Poyntings fifteen years of experience in the design and manufacture of antennas for underground communications and data networks. This antenna is also suitable for chemical environments in the oil and gas industry and for fiery mines where IS devices are required. In tests, the data rate and range achieved with this antenna were significantly higher than with linearly polarized panel antennas with the same gain. The robust construction of the antenna makes it ideal for use in mining.
