Overview

The ANT-DB1-VDP-TNC is a tri-band flat bar antenna designed for versatile mounting in wireless applications spanning 824MHz to 2.48GHz. This adhesive-mount antenna features a weatherized housing and 3 meters of RG-174 coaxial cable terminated with a TNC connector. It is engineered for low VSWR and an omni-directional radiation pattern across cellular and 2.4GHz ISM bands.

Why Choose This Part

The antenna provides a single-component solution for systems requiring GSM, CDMA, and 2.4GHz WiFi support. Its center-fed design and integrated 3m cable offer installation flexibility, while the low 4.5mm height ensures the antenna remains discreet and less prone to mechanical damage.

Applications

Industrial IoT Gateways
Provides reliable tri-band connectivity for cellular (850/1900MHz) and WiFi (2.4GHz) telemetry in industrial environments.
Fleet Management
Adhesive mounting allows for unobtrusive installation on vehicle dashboards or windows for tracking systems.
Remote Monitoring Stations
Weatherized construction enables deployment in outdoor enclosures for environmental sensing or utility monitoring.
Digital Signage
The low-profile flat bar design is ideal for mounting inside or on top of kiosks where space is limited.
