Transparent Antenna

Speciality Antennas

Seamless. That’s the best way to describe the look of today’s high-end venues. From control panel touchscreens installed into the wall to doors that glide effortlessly on hidden hinges, every aspect of modern convenience blends seamlessly into the overall aesthetic of the venue. 

So why shouldn’t your wireless solution be the same?

Transparency is the New Black

At DENGYO, we take a minimalistic and clean approach to designing wireless solutions. That’s why we developed the Visible Light Transmittance Antenna (VLTA), also known as the transparent antenna.

Developed by DENGYO using specially-engineered materials produced through 3M science and innovation, the transparent antenna is similar in look and feel to very thin plexiglass and designed to offer venues a high-performing in-building wireless network solution while maintaining a very minimal visible presence. The transparent material allows light to pass through it making it practically invisible, while still maintaining robust connectivity within your venue. 

The revolutionary antenna is mounted perpendicularly under the ceiling, on a wall or in other locations, blending in perfectly with its surrounding environment. Because of its transparency and slim profile, a transparent antenna can be installed in locations that simply aren’t feasible with more traditional antenna options. 

Consider this… if you were tasked with installing as in-building wireless network solution inside the Sistine Chapel, would you want a bulky traditional antenna hanging next to the Creation of Adam? Probably not. However, if you installed a VLTA, visitors could still marvel at Michelangelo’s masterpiece without any visual distraction and still access their favorite sports app to get the latest scores. 

Two Options to Choose From

Currently, DENGYO offers two models of transparent antenna and recommends their use for indoor coverage in museums, restaurants, showroom galleries, ballrooms, hotels and hospitals. Each model is small, lightweight and easy to install.

New Spectrum, New Opportunities

New Spectrum
Go To Antennas

It’s an exciting time in the wireless industry: a massive infusion of some 500 MHz of spectrum has been auctioned by the FCC. Expanding today’s mobile and fixed wireless networks and services will help bridge the digital divide, accelerate 5G adoption, and spur innovation in industrial manufacturing, IoT, and autonomous vehicles. What are the drivers behind this industry evolution? Let’s start with the new frequency bands:

  • CBRS: 3550-3700 MHz
  • C-band: 3700-3980 MHz
  • 3.45 GHz: 3450-3550 MHz (FCC auction scheduled for 2021)

Spread the wealth: Evolution of spectrum licensing

One goal of the FCC auctions has been to make spectrum more readily available to smaller mobile network operators and enterprises. For 3.45 GHz, this means smaller spectrum blocks and a 40 MHz cap on total blocks in any one area. For CBRS, dubbed the “Innovation Band” by the FCC, a new shared spectrum model and light licensing for Generally Authorized Access (GAA) open the door to a new cast of players.

A shared spectrum model is also being proposed for the 6 GHz band, to support licensed microwave backhaul and unlicensed Wi-Fi 6 users. These licensing polices are intended to spur industry innovation and drive economic activity.

Open RAN (O-RAN): More choices for building a mobile network

After years of consolidation, only a handful of end-to-end telecom equipment manufacturers remain. Operators are limited in their choices and may be trapped by vendor lock-in.

Enter O-RAN, the operator-led initiative that is gaining momentum across the board and seeks to build a more robust, competitive supplier ecosystem for the radio access network. Open specifications encourage smaller manufacturers to focus on their core competencies and bring best-of-breed, competitive solutions to market. This benefits operators by bringing more viable choices to the table, which has the effect of increasing competition and lowering costs.

Private LTE, a potential new revenue stream

The introduction of shared spectrum is a key enabler to Private LTE, wherein an enterprise has its own cellular network (generally when Wi-Fi cannot do the job) for mission-critical applications and may be optimized for its specific coverage or performance requirements.

Previously the enterprise had to lease licenced spectrum or buy the network as a service from the operator. With shared spectrum, they can do it themselves. However, the vast majority of enterprise lack the expertise to build and operate a cellular network – something for which operators are uniquely positioned to do. In addition, the enterprise may allow the operator’s customers to use their private network (to expand or improve the operator’s coverage) with a revenue sharing arrangement.

New Opportunities

All these changes in the industry are ushering in an era of wireless innovation – new technologies and products, new business models, and more choices than ever before. Are you embracing the change and staying competitive in this evolving landscape?

The Film Wrap Antenna

Dengyo USA Film Wrap Antenna
Go to Film Wrap Antenna

For most connectivity challenges, the answer is easy. Simply install the antenna where it’s most convenient using metal fittings to hold it in place. It’s not always the prettiest installation but it’ll get the job done. 

But what happens when you need to provide quality mobile solution while protecting the integrity of the surface you’re adhering to?

Most indoor antennas are made up of plastic transmitters that stand out no matter where they’re installed. Blending in isn’t exactly an option unless everything in the room is painted generic white. 

Thankfully, there’s an antenna option available that not only has great connectivity, but it can be installed anywhere, and you’ll never even know it’s there.   

Camouflaged Connectivity that Installs Anywhere

The Film Wrap Sector Antenna, or simply film wrap antenna, is a revolutionary new antenna from DENGYO that allows you to create a connectivity solution that you can install on any surface without damaging it. 

We took a clean and minimalistic approach to designing the film wrap antenna from a thin, bendable and lightweight material, so you can attach it to practically any surface, whether it’s flat or curved. 

Typically, technicians are forced to drill holes and use metal fittings to securely install normal antennas. This can damage the surface and in some high-end venues, this is the last thing you want to do. The film wrap antenna adheres to most surfaces using a simple strip of strong double-sided tape developed by 3M. 

To hide in plain sight, the antenna can be covered with a special film that can be color matched to blend into the surrounding environment, whether it’s installed on a wall, streetlight, vending machine or signage. You can even get film that blends in with concrete, marble and wood. And the best part is that the film doesn’t interfere with any incoming or outgoing signals. 

Two Options to Fit Your Need

There are two models of film wrap antenna currently available from DENGYO. Each model in thin, lightweight, bendable and very easy to install. 

3.5GHz 4MIMO Film Wrap Sector Antenna (GS00190)

  • Can be installed inside or outside
  • Single Band
  • Frequency Range: 3400-4100MHz
  • Gain: 9dBi

Top 5 Reasons to Declutter Your Cell Site with Multi-Band Antennas

Top 5 Reasons to Declutter Your Cell Site

From the earliest days of the telephone, companies (and the public) have had to deal with cluttered spaces. As the first phone companies competed for customers, they filled the sky above the streets with hundreds and hundreds of phone lines. Needless to say, it wasn’t the best solution, but it was the only solution they had at the time. 

Today, those early copper telephone lines have largely been replaced with underground fiber optic cables and wireless technology dominates the communication market. Unfortunately, history tends to repeat itself and instead of cluttered phone lines, we now have to contend with cluttered cell towers filled to capacity with antennas of every make and model.

By utilizing multi-band antennas, you can free yourself from cluttered cell site issues. In fact, here are five reasons why you should declutter your cell site with multi-band antennas. 

Cost Effective

Leasing space on a tower can get expensive as the number of antennas you have on site determines your cost. Reduce your monthly costs by replacing multiple single-band antennas with one multi-band antenna that can meet your variable needs and handle multiple spectrums.

Improved Capacity

Space on a cell tower is limited so getting maximum usage is critical for success. With multi-band antennas you can increase your capacity exponentially providing better coverage for your customers. 

Reduce Wind Loading 

When you have a cell tower in an area known for higher wind speeds, aerodynamics plays a big role in its design and utility. The higher you go, the stronger the wind. Reduce wind loading by reducing the number of panel antenna you have on the tower. With multi-band antennas, you’ll have the same broadcasting capacity with less surface area.

Increased Safety

Tower climbers have a very dangerous job. Suspended high above the ground, they ensure our wireless technology works, keeping us connected no matter where we are. So why make their job more difficult? Fewer antennas mean less equipment for them to deal with when servicing the site decreasing the odds of unfortunate accidents. 

Better Aesthetics

A common complaint concerning cluttered cell towers is how unseemly they are. Overflowing with single-band antennas, their patchwork look gives onlookers the impression that planning and aesthetics don’t mean a thing to the cell tower owner. With multi-band antennas, you can reduce the number of antennas and organize them into a much more visually pleasing arrangement that’s still effective for coverage.   At DENGYO, we focus on performance quality and clean aesthetics to create wireless technology that performs exceptionally well. By utilizing our variety of multi-band antennas, you can declutter your cell site while still providing the quality coverage your customers expect.
