ASTRON'S NEWLY REDESIGNED ANTENNA OFFERS WIDE-AREA COVERAGE, LOW PROFILE

Astron Wireless Technologies' low-profile 800 MHz and 900 MHz Hemi antenna uses circular or linear polarization to provide coverage for hallways, warehouses, stadiums and other open areas. Using elliptical circular polarization with 4 dBi gain, the antenna aims to minimize losses typically associated with cross-polarization. The Hemi can be built to provide either right- or left-hand circular polarization.

ANDREW CORP. PRODUCT WEATHERPROOFS CABLE CONNECTIONS

Andrew Corp. has announced what it is calling the industry's first reusable weatherproofing system for cable connections. The WeatherShield Connector Protection Enclosures products protect connections between ½-inch jumpers and devices such as diplexers and tower-mounted amplifiers. Also shielded from the elements are in-line connections between ½-inch jumpers and 1⅝ inch, 1¼ inch and ⅞ inch coaxial cable feeders. The WeatherShield products protect connectors from high temperatures and moisture while also helping to dampen vibration that can loosen connector interfaces over time.
