iANT212
Product description
The iANT212 is an ultra compact industrial antenna designed for use in the most extreme environments. It is suitable for either indoor or outdoor use, and optimised for use in WLAN installations between 2.4GHz and 5.8GHz spectrum for IEEE802.11 a/b/g/n wireless networks or wireless MESH Ethernet networks. It can be used with Extronics range of access points and mesh routers such as the iWAP200. Indoor, Outdoor operation The iANT212 design is suited for both indoor and outdoor operation. It is constructed from rugged ASA plastic and nickel plated brass, with IP68 ingress protection so is resistant to water ingress and corrosion in the most arduous of environments. Connection is made via an N-type male connector, providing a robust and weatherproof termination. Gain and Directionality These antennas are extremely diverse with near spherical patterning offering a gain of up to 2.5dBi. They provide obstruction penetrating qualities and, due to their design, offer excellent 360º coverage in both the horizontal (azimuth) and the elevation (eplane), meaning that they will give excellent coverage in a wide range of environments. This antenna is ideal for handheld or close deployments providing position independency. Easy Mounting This antenna can be easily mounted due to their size and weight. Antennas can mount directly to equipment by way of the robust Ntype connector. Please Note: The iANT2xx range of antennas is classed as “Simple Apparatus” under international intrinsic safety standards. IEC 60079-25 requires that simple apparatus equipment used in an intrinsically safe electrical system is compliant with IEC 60079-0, IEC 60079-11, IEC 60079-14 & IEC 60079-25. Extronics has assessed the iANT2xx antenna range together with our intrinsically safe certified wireless products to provide solutions compliant to all relevant standards. Therefore iANT2xx antennas can be deployed in a hazardous area, as part of an Extronics system, without the need to undergo further assessment. Compliance is also maintained if an iANT2xx antenna is used with the Extronics iSOLATE500 RF galvanic isolator. If the antenna is not to be used with Extronics’ products, then the system designer must assess the hazard and demonstrate compliance to the relevant standards.
