Antennas RF Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific part number matches the required frequency range and connector type for your system integration. Confirm that the IP54 rating meets the environmental requirements of the installation site. Ensure compatibility with the mounting hardware specified for pole or bracket installation. Check that the included LNA specifications align with the receiver sensitivity requirements of the connected equipment.

Antennas RF Selection Notes

Select this model when a wide bandwidth covering 690MHz to 2.7GHz is required for cellular services. The integrated LNA makes it suitable for long cable runs where signal loss must be minimized. Consider the N Type Female connector for standard base station interfaces. The straight whip design allows for omnidirectional coverage in vertical orientations.

Antennas RF Part Context

This component belongs to the BOA-LCM series of multi-band antennas from Amphenol PCTEL. The series utilizes broadband element technology to achieve superior bandwidth performance across multiple cellular bands. These antennas are engineered for industrial IoT and base station applications requiring reliable omnidirectional coverage.

Antennas RF Replacement Considerations

Consult official manufacturer documentation for direct substitutes. Verify that any replacement maintains the 690-2700MHz frequency range and N Type Female termination. Ensure equivalent gain and LNA integration if signal amplification is critical.
