RFS Releases Pre-Assembled CompactLine® Microwave Antennas to Accelerate Deployments, Lower Installation Costs
Meriden, CT, USA, July 30, 2020 – Radio Frequency Systems (RFS), a global designer and manufacturer of total-package solutions for wireless and broadcast infrastructure, today announced it is offering pre-assembled versions of its CompactLine® microwave antennas under the name RapidConnect. RapidConnect antennas are fully assembled in the RFS factory and can be installed right out of the box to accelerate network roll outs and reduce installation costs. They are available in 3-ft, 4-ft and 6-ft sizes.
“Compact, fully assembled antennas in sturdy and optimized packaging”.
RFS CompactLine RapidConnect antennas meet the industry’s growing need for microwave antennas that are ready to mount without the time and expertise required to assemble antenna components. The antennas reduce on-site service time, eliminate the need to train installers in antenna assembly and avoid the delays associated with assembly errors. RFS RapidConnect antennas arrive at the customer site completely assembled. Customers choose a left or a right offset mount configuration when the antenna is ordered.
“Adding the RapidConnect antenna option to the time-tested CompactLine family gives our customers the flexibility to choose pre-assembled or standard microwave antennas as required to meet the time and cost constraints of network roll out projects,” says Benjamin Gao, RFS Regional Product Manager for Microwave Antenna Solutions. “While the antenna design did not change, we’ve put significant effort into designing crates that protect the antennas and optimize transportation efficiency.”
The fully assembled 3-ft, 4-ft and 6-ft RapidConnect antennas, along with the 1-ft and 2-ft CompactLine antennas, which are designed to be assembled on-site in less than 10 minutes, will help customers achieve their goals of faster network roll outs and lower costs.
