The RooTenna® 2 panel antenna offered by Laird Technologies was developed to allow integration of the customers’ radio equipment inside the weatherproof compartment. The expanded radio compartment is big enough to house transceivers, amplifiers, and other electronic equipment. The antenna design utilizes a wideband element array over a solid 8.5” square backplane for consistent performance over a wide bandwidth. The housing is UV stabilized ABS plastic. The backplate is alodine coated aluminum with stainless steel fasteners. All bracket fasteners are stainless steel for corrosion protection. There are qty 4 8-32 threaded standoffs provided inside the enclosure for customer mounting. Included with the Roo2 are a customer mounting plate and an RJ45 passthru Ethernet feedthru.
