Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the BOA Series suitable for harsh outdoor environments?
The BOA Series features a UV-stable fiberglass radome and black hard-coat anodized hardware that resist corrosion, UV degradation, and weathering. This construction ensures reliable performance in extreme temperatures, high humidity, salt spray, and other challenging conditions typical of outdoor base station deployments.
What is the coverage pattern of this omnidirectional base station antenna?
The BOA Series delivers a true omnidirectional radiation pattern providing 360° horizontal coverage. This makes it ideal for applications requiring uniform signal distribution in all directions, such as cellular towers, wireless networks, and distributed antenna systems (DAS).
How does the 11.1 dBi gain improve base station performance?
The 11.1 dBi gain amplifies the antenna's ability to transmit and receive signals over extended distances. This higher gain improves signal strength, reduces dead zones, and enhances coverage reliability across the 902-928 MHz band, resulting in better network performance and reduced infrastructure costs.
What mounting options are available for the BOA Series?
The BOA Series includes versatile mounting brackets that support multiple installation configurations, including pole mounting, wall mounting, and tower mounting. The anodized hardware ensures secure, corrosion-resistant installation in any outdoor environment.
