Smart Meter Universal External Antenna Extender
The Antenna Company Field Installable Universal External Antenna Extender Kits include everything needed to quickly retrofit smart meters in the field, including the self-adhesive-backed fix-up antenna, which adheres to the outside of the smart meter and is secured with a provided 10-inch zip tie. Three external antenna options are offered, a high-gain dome antenna, a directional log-periodic antenna, and a compact dome antenna. Each is provided with mounting accessories. The N-type plug to N-type plug cable connecting the external antenna to the fix-up antenna is not supplied because of the variability of installation scenarios.
The kits are compatible with many types of residential and commercial & industrial (C&I) ANSI and IEC form-factor smart utility meters that contain an internal under-the-glass wireless modem on the network interface card (NIC), and an internal antenna.
