Multi-band antenna for permanent mounting
The Laird Technologies TRA806/17103P is a low-profile antenna built for permanent installation through a thin metal surface. It requires a metal ground plane to operate correctly and covers a frequency range from 806 to 2500 MHz with up to 6 dBi gain. The N-Female connector on the base accepts a separate cable for connection to your radio equipment.
Passive operation with no power draw
As a completely passive component, the antenna draws no electrical power and generates no heat or acoustic noise during use. Its patented PC board radiator and Field Diversity design (US patents 45,977,931 and 6,292,156) maintain performance across all supported bands without active cooling or external power. Installation simply requires a suitable metal mounting surface and a compatible feed cable.
Simultaneous coverage across seven bands
The antenna operates on AMPS/Cellular, IDEN, GSM, GPS, DCS, PCS, UMTS and ISM/WiFi bands at the same time, eliminating the need for multiple dedicated antennas. No bundled cables, mounting hardware or configuration software are included; the installer must supply an N-Male terminated cable and ensure the mounting surface provides the required ground plane. This makes it suited for integrators building custom telemetry or communication systems.

Questions about this item
How do I install the TRA806/17103P antenna and what step is often missed?
Drill a hole through a metal panel, pass the N-Female threaded connector through, and secure it with the supplied hardware; the metal panel must act as the ground plane, so installing on plastic or fibreglass without a metal backing plate will prevent the antenna from working.
What maintenance or replacement will this antenna need over time?
The sealed low-profile radome has no moving parts or user-serviceable items; inspect the N-Female connector and cable periodically for corrosion or water ingress, and replace the coaxial cable if the jacket cracks or the connector pins oxidise.
What performance limit appears first during continuous operation?
The antenna is rated for up to 6 dBi gain across the 806-2500 MHz range; sustained high-power transmission can heat the internal PCB radiator, so the practical limit is the thermal capacity of the sealed assembly rather than a specified duty-cycle figure.
