AR1061 Professional Antenna Circular Polarization 1710-2700MHz - Protel Antennas - Professional Antennas for Telecomunications

The AR1061 is a high-gain directional antenna with circular polarization, engineered for demanding cellular coverage in motorway, railway and subway tunnels, as well as in underground infrastructures such as stations, technical corridors, underpasses and indoor distributed systems.

Operating across 1710-2700 MHz, it supports the most common mobile services in this range (DCS 1800, UMTS 2100, LTE 1800/2600) and provides strong support for 4G capacity growth and 5G network evolution where mid-band deployments are used (typical planning ranges include 1800, 2100 and 2600 MHz, depending on local allocations).

The antenna is supplied with a full fiberglass radome to protect the radiating structure from impacts and harsh environmental conditions. When required by tunnel projects and safety specifications, the radome is available in flame retardant version (accessory: AR1061RI).

For reliability in critical installations, all metal parts are D.C. grounded. The antenna uses a 4.3-10 female connector and is designed to deliver a clean directional pattern with high front-to-back performance.

Antenna designed and manufactured in Italy.

Frequently asked questions about AR1061

Quick answers about typical tunnel installations, circular polarization benefits, and radome options for harsh environments.

Where is the AR1061 typically used?

It is mainly used for cellular radio coverage in motorway, railway and subway tunnels, and in underground infrastructures such as stations, underpasses, technical corridors and indoor coverage systems where a stable directional link is required.

Which mobile technologies does it support in this band?

The AR1061 operates from 1710 to 2700 MHz and is suitable for DCS 1800, UMTS 2100 and LTE 1800/2600. It also supports 4G capacity upgrades and 5G evolution where mid-band deployments are planned in the same ranges.

Why choose circular polarization for tunnels?

Circular polarization helps maintain more consistent reception in complex propagation environments, where reflections, multipath and changing device orientations can reduce performance with strictly linear polarization.

Is a flame retardant radome available?

Yes. The antenna is supplied with a full fiberglass radome, and a flame retardant fiberglass radome option is available as accessory AR1061RI, commonly specified for tunnel projects and safety-driven installations.

How is lightning protection handled?

All metal parts are D.C. grounded, supporting safe installation practices in harsh environments and helping protect connected radio equipment.
