OUT-OF-SIGHT New Zero Profile Mobile Antenna

OUT-OF-SIGHT New Zero Profile Mobile Antenna


    AURORA, Colo.--Oct. 16, 1998--Command Communications, Inc. has announced its newest product, OUT-OF-SIGHT(tm) Antenna and Coaxial Cables, setting a new industry standard for the mobile antenna market. The powerful OUT-OF-SIGHT(tm) Antenna and Coaxial Cables can easily be installed behind the rear view mirror without permanently damaging the vehicle. Typically, cellular antennas require drilling into a vehicle and mounting a pigtail antenna or use the glass mount type, which greatly reduces the gain of the antenna.
    The OUT-OF-SIGHT(tm) Antenna also offers exceptional quality for an affordable cost. By providing greater dB Gain than traditional pigtail or glass-mounted antennas, consumers improve their range of cellular communications. And, because the OUT-OF-SIGHT(tm) Antenna is virtually invisible, it won't detract from the resale value of vehicles.
    The OUT-OF-SIGHT(tm) Antenna has a 1/32-inch thick copper line in a dual square design that adheres to the windshield behind the rear view mirror, making it a Zero Profile(tm) antenna. The antenna and the coaxial cables feature a unique "snap on" connector that makes installation quick and easy. The cable features a tight braided shielding for maximum reception.
    The OUT-OF-SIGHT(tm) BSA 1 model is a dual transmission antenna for GSM/Analog and PCS Digital, using a maximum of 3.5 watts. GSM/Analog has 806 to 960 MHz and 4.5 dB gain and the PCS/Digital has 1800-2000 MHz and 7.5dB gain. These specs exceed those of the traditional pigtail antenna. The cables all come equipped with "Snap-On" connector and a choice of four other connectors (TNC, MINI, UHF, FME, and SMA). They are shipped in standard 13' lengths and any additional length can be special ordered.
    The OUT-OF-SIGHT(tm) Antenna BSA1 will be released in the fourth quarter of 1998 with a suggested retail price of $49.99.
