New Dual-Band Cellular Antenna Has Extended Coverage

Style 5318 keeps you in touch

Keeping pace with the rapid advances in cellular telephone technology, Shakespeare Electronic Products Group has introduced its new Galaxy® model 5318 antenna. With its dual-band capability and greater length, this marine antenna provides extended coverage for a wide range of cellular telephone models. The 5318 is a physical match for Shakespeare's popular model 5018 VHF antenna.

Covering the 800-900 MHz and 1800-1900 MHz cellular bands, the Galaxy® 5318 provides digital, analog and PCS capability. Its 17'6"-length delivers extra range for offshore use, as well as in areas of marginal cellular coverage. The antenna comes with 25' of Shakespeare's exclusive Lo-Max® low loss cable and a high-quality, male TNC connector. Sophisticated choking techniques suppress cable radiation for optimal antenna radiation.

Hand-soldered, high-performance brass and copper elements ensure durability in the saltwater environment. To provide a non-yellowing surface that is resistant to fuzzing, the fiberglass radome is hand-finished with Shakespeare's proprietary hi-gloss polyurethane finish.

Shakespeare's Style 409-R or 410-R Mounting Kits are recommended for mounting the antenna to the boat. Supplied in two 105-inch sections, the UPS-shippable Galaxy 5318 dual band cellular antenna has a list price of $499.95.

Founded in 1897, Shakespeare is the world leader and innovator in fiberglass reinforced composite antenna technologies for military, commercial, and consumer markets.
