VHF Coverage Added to Popular In-Building Wireless Antenna From Fractal Antenna Systems

BEDFORD, MA--(Marketwire - February 27, 2008) - Fractal Antenna Systems, Inc. today announced
the addition of VHF frequencies to its popular Universal Access™ Ceiling
Monopole (UACM) Antenna. The UACM Antenna delivers wideband performance in
one of the most compact (11.8" by 4.6 inches) units available for
distributed antenna applications. For developers adding in-building
wireless systems, VHF coverage provides a key link to police, fire, EMT,
and security communications through its continuous operation from VHF into
C-band microwave frequencies. In addition, the UACM Antenna covers
cellular, WiFi, WiMAX and other high-speed wireless network bands.
With its light (1.5 lbs (665 g), compact fractal design, the UACM Antenna
is easily installed on typical ceiling panels. The Antenna's wide
frequency range protects in-building wireless infrastructure investments by
future-proofing the installation as new standards and frequency allocations
emerge. At higher elevations between the Antenna and the signal source,
the Antenna has excellent gain, avoiding typical room barriers, such as
cubicle walls.
"Adding VHF to the popular UACM Antenna brings building developers the
ability to easily add necessary communications systems required for the
safety of the public," said David Moschella, President and CEO of Fractal
Antenna Systems, Inc.
Operating over 150 MHz to 6 GHz, the UACM Antenna delivers excellent
omni-directional coverage, with gain of approximately 4 dBi, even at
relatively low frequencies. The product is available for immediate order.
