Antennas RF Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer designation, as Amphenol PCTEL products may also be listed under Maxrad or PCTEL branding. Confirm that the required connector type matches the integrated TNC male specification. Ensure environmental ratings meet the operational temperature requirements of -40°C to +85°C for the intended installation site.

Antennas RF Selection Notes

Select this model when a rigid antenna is unsuitable due to space constraints or vibration risks. The flexible coil design absorbs mechanical stress, making it preferable over standard whip antennas for mobile platforms. Verify that the 2 dBi gain meets the link budget requirements for the specific 902–928 MHz application.
