1 Introduction
The iANT2xx range of rugged antennas provides a comprehensive selection of
antennas that can operate in the UHF, GSM, 2.4GHz or 5.8GHz WiFi frequency bands,
all of which are suitable for outdoor use at they have an IP rating of IP66 or higher, and
are protected against UV damage and corrosion in offshore environments.
Please Note:
The iANT2xx range of antennas is classed as “Simple Apparatus” under
international intrinsic safety standards. IEC 60079-25 requires that simple apparatus
equipment used in an intrinsically safe electrical system is compliant with IEC 60079-
0, IEC 60079-11, IEC 60079-14 & IEC 60079-25. Extronics has assessed the iANT2xx
antenna range together with our intrinsically safe certified wireless products to provide
solutions compliant to all relevant standards. Therefore iANT2xx antennas can be
deployed in a hazardous area, as part of an Extronics system, without the need to
undergo further assessment. Compliance is also maintained if an iANT2xx antenna is
used with the Extronics iSOLATE501 RF galvanic isolator. If the antenna is not to be
used with Extronics’ products, then the system designer must assess the hazard and
demonstrate compliance to the relevant standards.
