Integrated Antenna Enclosures Simplify Router Installations
Intended to optimize installations, reduce signal loss, and significantly lower deployment costs, Taoglas' latest Thunder Series of high-performance outdoor antenna enclosures supports direct integration and installation of the router within the antenna package.
Designed for demanding outdoor environments, the series is purpose-built for leading routers from Digi, Ericsson, and Semtech, among others. The Thunder Series leverages wideband antenna technology in a rugged enclosure with an internal router to significantly reduce the need for long RF cables while minimizing signal loss, installation time, and material and labor costs.
Operating across a broad 600- to 6,000-MHz frequency range, the Thunder Series supports 5G/4G, Wi-Fi, GNSS, and Bluetooth for low-band cellular, mid-band 5G, and Wi-Fi 6/6E frequencies. Placing the router and the antenna in the same enclosure minimizes cable loss, reducing installation costs while simplifying implementation and deployment. Also, the addition of a Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) splitter simplifies powering the router.
The Thunder Series is available in directional and omnidirectional versions. The IP67-rated ABS enclosures handle harsh outdoor conditions and mission-critical deployments across transportation, mining, agriculture, smart cities, and industrial automation.
