A-HELI-0005-V1-01
High-Gain Uni-Directional Antenna for LTE and Underground Mining Applications

The HELI-5 is a high-gain, uni-directional antenna designed for LTE applications, complementing Poynting’s MinePoynt mine and tunnel antennas. Developed with over fifteen years of expertise in underground mining communication and data networks, this antenna is optimized for long-distance thru-tunnel communication when paired with MinePoynt beam antennas. The HELI-5 is also suitable for oil, gas, and chemical environments where intrinsically safe (IS) equipment is required.

Optimized for LTE Networks: Operates within 1710 MHz – 2170 MHz, ensuring reliable LTE connectivity in mining and industrial environments.
High-Gain Performance: Delivers superior data transmission and network reliability, outperforming linear polarized panel antennas of the same gain.
Uni-Directional Design: Focuses signal strength for long-distance thru-tunnel communication.
Rugged and Durable Construction: Engineered to withstand harsh mining and industrial conditions.
Compatible with MinePoynt Beam Antennas: Seamlessly integrates with MinePoynt antennas for extended-range underground connectivity.
Suitable for Hazardous Environments: Designed for oil, gas, and chemical industries requiring intrinsically safe (IS) equipment.
Alternative Frequency Option: The HELI-6 operates within 698 – 960 MHz, providing an alternative for applications requiring lower frequency coverage.

The HELI-5 is a cost-effective, high-performance solution for underground mining, industrial, and hazardous environments, ensuring strong LTE connectivity and enhanced communication networks.

Ideal Applications

  • Supplementing fibre/cable network “Hotspots” to enhance mobility or extend networks to inaccessible areas such as mines and tunnels
  • Underground telemetry
  • Creation of complete underground in-tunnel wide data networks and internet/LTE connectivity
  • Seamless connection to personnel using cellular phones, smart devices and tablets
