Ceiling Mounted Antenna for Indoor DAS Applications Enables Fast, Reliable 4G Coverage

BLOOMINGDALE, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- PCTEL, Inc. (NASDAQ:PCTI), a leader in Performance Critical Telecom solutions, announced today that UL certified PCTEL's PIM160 LTE MIMO antenna for Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) in Europe. This certification permits mobile operators, building owners and systems integrators to deploy PCTEL's PIM160 MIMO antenna for high-performance, in-building 4G and DAS applications.

SAR certification testing by UL ensures that indoor antennas comply with European limits on RF energy levels. These standards protect people from unsafe RF radiation as operators build out in-building wireless infrastructure to provide high quality wireless coverage in malls, hospitals, airports, stadia and hotels.

A member of PCTEL's VenU line, the new PIM160 antenna addresses indoor, ceiling-mounted applications. The PIM160 antenna reduces dropped calls, frozen video streams and slow data - problems that PIM interference frequently creates.

'The combination of SAR certification, ultra-low PIM, broadband coverage and low-profile design make the PIM160 antenna the ideal choice for DAS applications throughout Europe,' said Rishi Bharadwaj, Vice President and General Manager of PCTEL's Connected Solutions. 'PCTEL continues to lead the industry in broadband wireless antenna innovation and we are excited to bring this product to market,' added Bharadwaj.
