Parabolic reflector, or other passive fixed beam antennas, are typically used today. In addition, they are large and bulky and often the installer is faced with considerable aesthetic and zoning problems. This is especially true for antennas that must dynamically point beams and employ mechanical positioning systems. E-tenna is breaking that paradigm with the development of its FlexScan line of products.
FlexScan arrays have an attractive, low profile package, as shown above.
A variety of models operating between 1 GHz and 40 GHz are under development.
