Where ComAnt antennas work
CompleTech describes its typical users as "water management, electricity, oil and gas distribution to industry and military", in "closed radio networks: SCADA, telemetry, private mobile radio and networks for authorities". (ComAnt catalog, p. 1)[1]
Water, wastewater and electric utilities (SCADA and telemetry)
Remote sites (lift stations, wells, tanks, substations) report to a master over radio. If yours run on licensed 928/952 MHz MAS channels,[2] on unlicensed 900 MHz radios,[3] on licensed VHF/UHF, or on cellular, the antenna must cover that band. A fixed link to one point suits a directional antenna; a site that talks in several directions suits an omni or offset pattern (TI AN058)[4].
Licensed 928/952 MHz · 900 MHz unlicensed · Yagis · Collinears
Oil and gas
CompleTech names oil and gas distribution among its users. Its bidirectional broadside arrays radiate in two opposite directions, for example along a pipeline or a road.[1]
Public safety and private radio
US land mobile runs on VHF 150–174 MHz[5] and UHF 450–470 MHz,[6] plus 700 and 800 MHz public safety;[7, 8] Mexico uses 380–399.9 MHz for public safety[9] and Europe 380–385 / 390–395 MHz (TETRA).[10]
VHF · UHF · 700 MHz · 380–400 MHz
Cellular IoT and private LTE
Routers and modems in panels, pump stations and vehicles. CompleTech describes its CALTEY yagis as a "broadband design for LTE700, LTE800, LTE850 and LTE900" (ComAnt catalog, p. 38)[1], and lists the CACELY for 880–960 and 1710–2170 MHz.[1]
LoRa and IoT sensors
A US915 gateway needs an antenna covering about 902–928 MHz; a European EU868 one, 863–870 MHz.[11]
GNSS, timing and monitoring
GPS, Galileo, GLONASS and BeiDou receivers, including timing at substations and cell sites. CompleTech's CAGNSSY++ yagi is built for GNSS reception and for "testing and detection of jamming and spoofing". (ComAnt catalog, p. 34)[1]
Marine, aviation and broadcast
AIS shore stations on 161.975 / 162.025 MHz,[12] aviation VHF ground stations (CAAIRGP: 117.975–137.000 MHz on CompleTech's datasheet, ComAnt catalog p. 19)[1], and DAB reception.
