Poynting HELI-3-IS Tunnel Antenna

Description

Poynting HELI-3-IS Tunnel Antenna

The HELI-3-IS is a high gain directional antenna which complements our Wi-Fi MinePoynt tunnel and mine antennas. The combination of MinePoynt beam antennas for long-distance Thru-tunnel links with this directional antenna, exploits Poynting’s fifteen years’ experience in designing and manufacturing antennas for underground mining data networks.

The HELI-3-IS is an intrinsically safe (IS) antenna with a high resistivity non-static radome. This antenna is also suitable for oil/gas chemical environments where IS equipment is required. The HELI-3-IS is a uni-directional antenna while the closely related HELI-8 is a bi-directional antenna. The HELI-3-IS gives you a low-cost network infrastructure for current voice and data needs in mines and tunnels.
