Persistent Systems' Integrated Antennas allow you to extend the Wave Relay MANET over large geographic areas, allowing your networked UAVs and unmanned systems to go further while maintaining connectivity. The product range features sector antennas for fixed large-scale networking coverage, as well as directional antennas for reliable point-to-point backhaul connectivity with high throughput.
All equipment is pre-integrated directly into the antenna, making the system easy to install and requiring only a single Ethernet cable for power and data, thus reducing RF gain loss. Configuration, frequency and power settings can all be adjusted directly from the Power Distribution Box, which sits at the base of the tower.
The antennas are designed for reliable all-weather operation, with ruggedized construction and IP66-rated enclosures and connectors.
