## **1.** Introduction 

The FW.91 is a flexible cellular whip antenna with IP67 housing. It has a wide response and high peak gain. Ideal for outdoor environments which require high gain, on both lower and upper bands. Its unique characteristic is it has stable peak gain on across common cellular bands used worldwide. 

Typical Applications include: 

- Smart Metering 

- Remote Pipeline Monitoring 

- Transportation 

The antenna radiates best attached to a metal plate but it can still perform without as evidenced by the table below. The FW.91 is IP67 waterproof rated and can be used in areas where water ingress may be a possible concern. 

The FW.91 can be used with a Wall Mounting Bracket, and we have designed an L Shaped Bracket for use with the Whip Antenna, the part number for this option is WM.91. A.305111. Testing of the whip antenna on the bracket, in free-space, and on a reference ground-plane has been done to show the benefit of the L- bracket. 

This antenna delivers wider coverage areas and more reliable connections for professional customers in the automotive, industrial industries. The whip is made up of a flexible inner steel core covered by TPU so extremely resistant to collisions and maintaining its original shape and RF performance. 

The FW.91’s connector can be customized subject to NRE, for further information please contact your regional Taoglas customer support team.
