High-Gain Uni-Directional Antenna for Underground Mining Networks

The HELI-3 is a high-gain, uni-directional antenna designed to complement Poynting’s Wi-Fi MinePoynt tunnel and mine antenna solutions. Developed with over fifteen years of expertise in underground mining data networks, this antenna is specifically engineered for 2.4 - 2.5 GHz wireless applications in tunnels, delivering superior data rates and extended range compared to conventional linearly polarized panel antennas of the same gain.

Optimized for Tunnel Communications: Provides reliable and extended wireless connectivity in underground mining environments.
High-Gain Performance: Enhances data transmission and network reliability in challenging underground conditions.
Uni-Directional Design: Focuses signal strength for long-distance Thru-tunnel communication.
Rugged and Durable Construction: Built to withstand harsh mining conditions, ensuring longevity and reliability.
Compatible with MinePoynt Beam Antennas: Works seamlessly with MinePoynt antennas for extended-range connectivity.
Intrinsically Safe Option Available: The HELI-3-IS version is designed for use in environments where safety regulations require intrinsically safe equipment.
Alternative Bi-Directional Model: For applications requiring bi-directional signal coverage, the HELI-8 is available as an alternative.
Cost-Effective Network Solution: Provides a low-cost infrastructure for underground voice and data communication.

The HELI-3 is an ideal choice for mining and tunnel applications, offering a reliable, high-performance, and cost-effective solution for underground wireless communication networks.
