Antennas RF Procurement Notes

Verify the specific connector type and cable assembly requirements before ordering, as the base specification lists 'None' for connectors. Confirm that the NMO base style aligns with existing mount hardware at the installation site. Ensure the selected model meets local regulatory frequency allocations for both 800 MHz and 1900 MHz bands.

Antennas RF Selection Notes

Select this model when a compact, dual-band solution is required for 800 MHz and 1900 MHz coverage without separate single-band units. Consider the NMO base compatibility with available pole mounts. Evaluate environmental exposure requirements against the molded polymer specifications to ensure long-term reliability in the target climate conditions.
