airCONNECT Antenna Mounting Styles

Siretta antennas started as a necessity – they say that necessity is the mother of

invention – so it was with Siretta and antennas. With many years of wireless knowledge and

‘know-how’ in designing Cellular and related wireless data modems and routers, having to

add antennas proved difficult. It’s somewhat a black art and we found very few suppliers

of antennas and those that there were did not know the ‘art’ and could not advise beyond

their ‘odd’ part number and a long lead time. Consequently, we grasped the nettle ten

years ago and set about ‘making life easier’ for us and our customers by designing our

own and understanding the performance of them. That’s the history of our antenna range

– probably the widest range – where the use and performance of each antennas is clear

and with test figures to demonstrate. We have also created a part number system that

describes each antenna accurately and is easily remembered.

‘An antenna is just a piece of wire….’ The notion that we find many people have is that

an antenna is just a convenient sized piece of wire in air. We would love that to be the case,

however the reality of wireless is that antennas have to conform to a set of physics suitable

to the application that they are to be used in. It is the understanding of the physics of what

is required in an antenna, coupled with the equipment it is to be used with, that needs

careful consideration before the overall equipment design is done.

Why doesn’t my antenna work well?? - this is a very common question for us and

as the ‘black art’ that it is the reasons could be manifold. But central to the question is

generally a few considerations that will ensure the right type of antenna is used for the

design – or modification of the design to accommodate the limitations or characteristics of

the chosen antenna.

Our success in Antenna design and supply is the unbeatable combination of advising

customers on antenna selection or customized antenna design and how to use them – and

also offering volume supply via our distributors at an unbeatable price.
