450MHz Band Antennas for Smart Metering Smart metering offers substantial benefits to consumers and suppliers but connectivity is key. Utility meters are often located under stairs, in street-side cabinets and in basements; areas that are not ideal for RF propagation. 450MHz offers enhanced penetration into these areas and longer range to reach remote locations. A high performance antenna can increase the chance of a successful first-fit installations reducing failed connections and expensive engineer call-outs. Low Profile Bracket Mount UHF Antenna The LPBU-453-NJ is a UHF antenna in a robust compact housing with a supplied wall/mast mount bracket. Designed to be tough yet cost effective, the antennas are completely enclosed in a moulded housing made from weather and impact resistant plastic. The N jack connector allows for flexible cable selection for long or short cable runs. Rail Mount Antenna Magnetic/Adhesive Mount Antenna The LPW antenna is designed to decrease the lifetime cost of M2M and smart metering installations by offering a robust, effective antenna that is easy to install. The antenna offers omni-directional performance across the 460 MHz band and is fitted with RG178 cable, which can be routed into some enclosures via the door seal without drilling a hole. The Panorama RM450 is designed to allow fitment to DIN EN 50022 rails within equipment cabinets. This compact omni-directional antenna can be mounted in close proximity to the metering communications module reducing cable loss and is easy and quick to install. The antenna and cables are flame retardant meeting the requirements for mounting in device enclosures. The MD-IN2829 range is a 450-470MHz antenna kit which has a magnetic mount base with a detachable CS23 (RG58) coaxial cable, and is configured for use either on a conductive ground plane or a plastic panel. The base is supplied with two whips one tuned for used on metal panels and the other for use on non-metal panels. The kit includes an adhesive pad for use when the antenna is mounted on a non-ferrous panel. A magnetic/ adhesive base offers a high performance antenna solution for smart metering applications which is very easy to install.
