Get Smart with Rooftop Antennas for Intelligent Transportation, Public Safety Fleets

In today’s environment, public safety fleets depend on reliable, on-demand communications in their vehicles. And the development of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) connecting even more vehicles requires the right mobile infrastructure.

Roof-mounted sharkfin antennas can help fleets navigate the sometimes-murky waters of mobile vehicle communications. Their compact size is ideal for police, utility vehicles, and fire trucks with ridged rooftops and limited space.

One such solution is Trooper™ Max antennas from PCTEL, a leading global provider of wireless technology for over 25 years.

The TrooperTM Max slender sharkfin antenna supports the high-speed requirements of complex RF communication systems used for public safety fleets and ITS. These antennas feature two 5G elements compatible with cellular routers supporting 600 MHz to 6 GHz frequencies. The platform also incorporates two dual-band Wi-Fi antennas, with the option to add a UHF or a TETRA whip for LMR band coverage.

Designed to conform to contoured surfaces to seal out water or dust, the Trooper Max performs under severe environmental conditions, from freezing to very hot temperatures.
