PCTEL Introduces New Elevated Feed Dual Band Antenna

Antenna provides cellular and PCS coverage without a ground plane

New Orleans -- CTIA Wireless 2005 -- PCTEL Antenna Products Group, Inc. has added a new dual band elevated feed antenna model to its Antenna Specialists brand of land mobile radio antennas. The new ASPDM913U is designed to provide optimal coverage of both cellular and PCS frequencies with 3 dB of gain, and without a ground plane. PCTEL showed this and other antennas from its MAXRAD and Antenna Specialists product lines at the CTIA Wireless 2005 Show this week.

Featuring a 3/8"-24 ferrule stud adaptable to standard mirror bracket mounts, side-body mounts, and shock springs, this antenna is ideal for commercial delivery truck applications utilizing both cellular and PCS networks. Its no-ground-plane, elevated feed design provides 3 dB gain performance for optimal omnidirectional coverage, and its rugged construction easily withstands high vibration conditions in most trucking applications.

"The ASPDM913U is the first Antenna Specialists model introduced since our acquisition of this antenna brand last fall," commented Steve Deppe, president of PCTEL Antenna Products Group. "The Antenna Specialists line represents a strategic part of our product offering, and it is our intention to further develop it to support the needs of its loyal customer base."

The new Antenna Specialists ASPDM913U no-ground-plane, elevated feed, 3 dB gain antenna is available through the PCTEL Antenna Products Group's network of authorized distributors.
