The HELI-8-IS is a high-gain, bi-directional antenna designed to complement POYNTING’s Wi-Fi MinePoynt tunnel and mine antenna solutions. With over fifteen years of expertise in underground mining data networks, this antenna is optimized for long-distance thru-tunnel communication when paired with MinePoynt beam antennas. The HELI-8-IS is an Intrinsically Safe (IS) antenna with a high-resistivity, non-static radome, making it suitable for hazardous environments, including oil, gas, and chemical industries requiring IS-certified equipment.

Intrinsically Safe (IS) Design: Features a high-resistivity, non-static radome for use in hazardous environments.
Optimized for Tunnel Communications: Designed for 2.4 – 2.5 GHz wireless applications, ensuring reliable connectivity in underground mining environments.
High-Gain Performance: Enhances data transmission and extended network coverage, outperforming linear polarized panel antennas of the same gain.
Bi-Directional Design: Provides signal coverage in both directions, making it ideal for thru-tunnel communication.
Rugged and Durable Construction: Built to withstand extreme 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 Uni-Directional Model: The HELI-3 is available for applications requiring signal focus in one direction.
Cost-Effective Network Solution: Provides a low-cost infrastructure for underground voice and data communication.

The HELI-8-IS is an ideal choice for mining, tunnel, oil, gas, and chemical applications, offering a reliable, high-performance, and cost-effective solution for underground wireless communication networks in hazardous environments.
