Panorama Antennas Reef Sharkee combination antenna

Panorama Antennas has released the Reef Sharkee combination antenna, to add to its growing range of products for mission-critical applications including Next Generation Critical Communications (NGCC). 

The combination antenna offers 4x4 MiMo 5G LTE covering full 698–960/1427–4900 MHz bands, with optional active GPS/GNSS element and (up to 4x4 MiMo) Wi-Fi 6e/7 elements, allowing the product to be a single-antenna solution that can connect to a number of 5G LTE routers and gateways, including from Ericsson (formally Cradlepoint), Peplink and Semtech (formally Sierra Wireless). With the additional feature of a dual band VHF/UHF antenna element, it can also connect directly to a Tait P25 mobile radio, offering the emergency services a single solution for all voice and data functionality.

In the popular vehicle shark-fin styling, the device is designed to fit within the vehicle roof ribs or can be mounted onto a lightbar bracket, making it particularly suitable for law enforcement. The single housing also reduces the antenna footprint on the vehicle, thus reducing installation lead time and costs incurred for withdrawing the vehicle from service, as well as improving resale value.
