1. Antennas for challenging industrial environments
1.1. Integrated WLAN antenna
The antenna is a critical technical component for ensuring a stable radio link.
Especially in challenging industrial environments such as warehouses and production facilities, there are no easy solutions
with regard to wave propagation.
No off-the-rack solution will work here and this is why Advantech-DLoG offers custom solutions.
Our integrated antennas are matched as perfectly as possible to the respective vehicle terminal and achieve an optimal
circular radiation characteristic.
The protective cap ensures high mechanical stability and protects the antenna from damage.
1.2. External WLAN antenna
Solid driver cabs can significantly interfere with the radio link. For this application, we recommend so-called remote
antennas, which are not attached directly to the vehicle terminal but rather on the vehicle roof, for example. They have better
reception at this location.
To facilitate these types of configurations, Advantech-DLoG offers remote antennas from selected manufacturers.
When selecting the remote antennas, we take a range of factors into account to ensure that they are optimallymatched to
our terminals and to the respective customer application. This includes technical data such as radiation characteristics and
performance.

4. Connecting external antennas via RSMA
External antennas are attached to the roofs of forklifts, for example.
They are connected to the underside of the MTC 6 via antenna cable with RSMA plug.
The following connection on the MTC 6 is available for this:
