RF Elements Stationbox 520 - Box with integrated 5 GHz 20 dBi 1x1 antenna (optional pigtail)

RF Elements STB-520

StationBox enclosure with integrated antenna 5 GHz 20 dB without pigtail

One of the StationBox’s™ main advantages is its universality and applicability for different kind of devices and antennas from different suppliers. After mounting all components look like one entity. The StationBox™ is made of durable plastic and it consists only of 4 parts. Our outdoor enclosure is provided with compact mounting bracket. In addition, there is a possibility of using NanoBracket™ for the installation which enables to adjust the enclosure to any direction in range of 90° to each side. The StationBox’s™ design is very simple and it is made with emphasis on its functionality.

The main purpose of this product is not only the installation of the device but also the simplicity of sequential service. The StationBox™ is ingenious and cost effective solution for outdoor installations of the antennas and devices that is indicated by its extraordinary features including the long lifetime.

Standard Back Panels

StationBox is ready for the installation of the most popular types of PCB AP/Router boards from different suppliers. The boards are installed to the StationBox by using the part "base" and "spacers". The "base" includes prepared holes for different PCBs.

Installation

With Cable Ties

StationBox™ can be installed on a pole or console using cable ties. This way of installation you know from many devices on the market and is the most common method of installation of outdoor equipments. Cable ties are included in StationBox’s package. Stationbox installed by this way is securely attached. Moving the antenna of Stationbox to the access point can be done in one direction.

Optional Installation

StationBox™ can be installed on a pole, console and on the wall also by using the original holder Nanobracket. Nanobracket is sold separately. Stationbox installed by this way is securely attached. Moving the antenna of Stationbox to the access point is in case of installation using the Nanobracket possible in all three directions.

urrently Mimo technology is popular. It enables better and more efficient use of spectrum for wireless operation. StationBox supports MIMO technology by a variety of ways.
 

Antennas

The use of dual polarization antennas

It is possible to integrate dual polarization antenna to the stationbox. Such link is suitable for point-to point communication to ensure the increased speed transmission by technology 802.11n using MIMO 2T2R. Suitable hardware is for example RouterBoard RB411 with R52N cards from Mikrotik.

The use of omni-directional antennas

On the upper side of the outer cover are prepared premoulded three holes for attaching pigtails with waterproof "O" ring. On the body of StationBox you can install up to 3 pcs of omni-directional antennas. Such link is suitable for point-to point communication to ensure the increased speed transmission by technology 802.11n using MIMO 3T3R. Suitable hardware is for example LiteStationSR71 with SR71A cards from Ubiquiti Networks..
