Hinged Dipole, Hinged Terminal Antenna

A variety of monopole or dipole antenna that features an integrated hinging mechanism within its radome, facilitating the adjustment of the antenna's physical orientation. Often directly mounted to the back of devices like Wi-Fi or cellular modems - a position frequently referred to as 'terminal' mounting - this type of antenna allows for flexibility in signal direction. By changing the antenna's orientation, users can optimise signal strength and connectivity based on specific environmental conditions or equipment placement. The hinged terminal antenna offers a practical solution for adapting to varying communication requirements in compact device setups.
