[WISPA] 900MHz Antennas - MTI vs. The Rest

2009-03-17 Thread 3-dB Networks
Just curious what people think of MTI's 900MHz Sectors/Omni in 900MHz vs.
Tiltek, Pac Wireless, and others.  How do they stack up performance wise?

Re: [WISPA] 900MHz Antennas - MTI vs. The Rest

I have not used MTI omnis. I have used their 900 horizontal sectors 
though. They are rugged and have clean cuttoff in the vertical pattern, 
good for sites where accurate downtilt is important to prevent 
interference. Performance is good as expected, probably comparable to 
other better antennas.

Pac Wireless, we have bought their vertical and horizontal sectors and 
omnis. Overall they perform decently, but their fiberglass resin doesn't 
seem to be very UV resistant. Having grown up working on and around 
fiberglass boats, I'm a bit of a fiberglassing snob.

We don't buy their vertical omnis anymore, as we'd had a couple fail. We 
use Mctel Maxrad now. The Pacwireless vertical sectors are nice, and 
work much better than superpass. Their horizontal sectors have 
fiberglass covering the slots, so I'd be wary of the resin used over a 
long term if it's the same stuff. They do perform well though. Time will 
tell; We had some of their 2.4h sectors and I put additional resin 
(using a paper towel for the composite matrix) on them for added good 
measure. The smell was not appreciated in our office.
