Poynting HELI-6 Tunnel Antenna

Description

Poynting HELI-6 Tunnel Antenna

The HELI-6 is a high gain LTE directional antenna, which complements our MinePoynt mine and tunnel antennas. MinePoynt antennas exploits Poynting’s fifteen years’ experience in designing and manufacturing antennas for underground mining communication and data networks.

This antenna is also suitable for oil/gas chemical environments as well as fiery mines where IS equipment is required. In tests, the data rate and range achieved with this antenna was substantially greater than obtained when using linear polarized panel antennas of the same gain. The hardy construction of the antenna makes it ideal for a mining environment.
