Moonblink Communications Delivers Antennas for Next-Generation 700MHz Frequency Band

Yagi, Sector and Omni antennas are true to specification and built to withstand severe weather

2008 IP POSSIBILITIES CONFERENCE & EXPO, CHICAGO, BOOTH #604, April 9, 2008  –  Moonblink Communications, a leading value-added distributor of wireless broadband solutions, today announced a complete line of ruggedized antennas for transmitting and receiving signals at 700MHz, the next-generation frequency band for wireless communications.

Intended for service providers, the new MB 700 Series antennas from Moonblink includes Yagi, Sector and Omni types, providing end-to-end coverage for the 698MHz to 760MHz frequency band.

"The 700MHz spectrum is the future of wireless data communications, and we at Moonblink are proud to be one of the first to provide the infrastructure products needed to make it a reality," said Daniel Redmond, vice president of sales and marketing at Moonblink.

"These high-quality MB 700 Series antennas cover a wide swath of the wireless ecosystem -- from the base station to the remote client," added Redmond.

Built with durable industrial-grade aluminum, the MB 700 directional Yagi antennas are machine welded throughout, imparting greater strength and consistency than conventional rivets and hand welds.

True to specification, the MB 700 Yagi antennas are designed to minimize variances in gain and frequency so as to avoid interference with signals outside the specified frequency band.  MB 700 Yagi antennas are available in 9-, 11- and 13-dBi gain options.

The MB 700 Omni antennas are designed to project narrow beam widths in order to eliminate nulls, or regions of low signal strength. Either horizontal or vertical polarizations are available, with gain options of 6- or 11-dBi. The Omni antennas feature an exceptionally sturdy mounting system, allowing them to remain stable under high wind conditions.

The MB 700 Sector antennas are available in horizontal or vertical polarizations and can be configured for 90-, 120- or 180-degree beam widths. Their elevation plane can be electrically down tilted by five degrees. Heavy-duty mounting hardware is available for manual down tilts.

All 700MHz band MB 700 Series antennas are available now. Pricing information is available upon request. For more information, please contact Moonblink Communications directly.
