MDS ClearWave™ Antennas

GE MDS has improved the MDS ClearWave Antenna line to provide even better value. This line now features:

  • Smaller Physical Size - Less wind loading, means higher wind and ice survival ratings
  • Increased Gain - Over the previous design
  • Acceptance of Larger Masts - Now up to 2.5 in. (6.35 cm)
  • An Extended Warranty - Increased to 2 full years
  • Teflon Impregnated Double Powder Coat Finish - Standard on all Yagi antennas
    Internally Matched Driven Elements - Improves antenna performance even when icy
  • Integral Feedline - More secure and resistant to damage
  • Feedline that may be Replaced in the Field - Simplifies maintenance if needed

Why consider an MDS ClearWave Antenna solution?

MDS ClearWave Antennas are premium quality antennas engineered for long lasting service. MDS ClearWave antennas operate in the 401-470 and 890-960 MHz frequency bands, and there are models available for various gain levels (see listing below). The Yagi antennas may be stacked for added gain where required.

MDS ClearWave Omni Antennas are fiberglass covered with a 16" pigtail to an "N" type connector. They are rated to 100 mph wind loading.

MDS ClearWave Yagi Antennas come standard with an endboom connection (N Female). The MDS ClearWave "A" "B" "C" antennas come with a "pigtail" connection which provides a one piece weather-proof cable factory sealed to the antenna in 10 ft. (3 m), 15 ft. (4.6 m), and 25 ft. (7.6 m) lengths respectively. The all-welded design of MDS ClearWave antennas utilize high strength 6061-T6 aluminum to withstand heavy ice, high wind and other extreme weather conditions. The Teflon impregnated powder coat finish provides superior corrosion resistance in all conditions and helps reduce ice loading. Each antenna comes complete with a heavy duty bracket, which easily permits vertical or horizontal polarization.
