These antennas have been designed for covert use in/on a vehicle, or for any type of embedded/surface application. Additional applications would be ATM machines, remote credit card processing, wireless kiosks, and telemetry radios, perhaps in NEMA boxes. These antennas operate on dual band configurations and can be used for cell phones or GSM/Edge/GPRS/1xRTT modem applications. Models are also available for Nextel modems and ISM 915 MHz modems. A single band model is available for 2.4 GHz WiFi (802.11 b/g) These antennas are compact, yet provide 2.5 dBi gain performance. The antennas are ground plane independent and can be mounted in a variety of locations. They can be installed behind rearview mirrors, under a dashboard or rear window deck/shelf. Since they are thin, they can also fit into the molding of vehicles, surface or subsurface mount in various electronic equipment. The CVS antennas are weather resistant. These antennas are provided with double sided tape and a mounting clip for standard installation applications. They can be installed without the mounting clip simply using the double sided tape.
