LAS VEGAS, June 17, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --

The PEAR™ M5542i antenna developed by Galtronics Corporation Ltd., a Baylin Technologies (TSX:BYL) company, has won approval from carriers in Canada and the United States and is available for immediate shipment from the U.S. to support small cell and Distributed Antenna System (DAS) deployments.

The low-profile, ceiling mount omni-directional LTE MIMO antenna was first launched at the beginning of the year and has gained swift acceptance among North American carriers. The PEAR™ M5542i antenna supports all LTE frequency ranges worldwide, covering 698-960 MHz and 1710-2700 MHz bands. This broad LTE band coverage reduces the number of antennas required for deployment and lowers the cost and time for installation - a particularly important feature in small cell installations.

"We are delighted to see how the carriers in the United States and Canada have quickly accepted this outstanding product for their networks, and especially for their small cell deployments," said Ben Bar, EVP Sales & Marketing at Galtronics. "Galtronics is committed to having the product available from stock within the United States to provide the short lead times needed for the current massive small cell roll-outs."  

Galtronics PEAR™ in-building antennas have a unique omni pattern which provides flexibility for varied installation sites. Antennas may be placed above, below or through ceilings with no material degradation in performance.

All-Band LTE MIMO OMNI antennas from Galtronics are the leading choice for LTE deployments in in-building installations for small cells and DAS. The PEAR™ M5542i antenna allows operators to future-proof their LTE installations, providing powerful performance with a single, small antenna.

Technical specifications for the PEAR™ M5542i include:

• Dimensions: Diameter of 8.19 inches (208 mm), height of 2.83 inches (72 mm)
• Frequency range for both ports: 698-960 MHz and 1710-2700 MHz
• Gain [dbi]: Low band 1.5-3.0; high band 3.5-6.0
• Certified PIM performance of less than -150 dBc at 2 x 20W

The PEAR™ M5542i antenna is available for immediate shipment from Galtronics U.S. or from Galtronics distributors. For more information and orders, please visit our website.
