Two versions are available now. The CTX-2403-TR features a ¾" NPT mount for direct installation on explosion-proof enclosures or conduit commonly found in North American facilities. The CTM-2403-TR uses an M20 mount, serving installations that follow European and international threading standards.
Both models are omnidirectional and built on Analynk's proven CTX/CTM platform — a patented, heavy-duty design with a nickel-plated brass mounting base and integrated TNC connector. Like the rest of Analynk's HazaLynk™ antenna line, these antennas are UL listed for Class I, Division 1, Groups C & D and carry ATEX and IECEx certifications for Zone 1, IIB environments. They're also NEMA 4X rated and RoHS compliant.
Why WiFi 6E Matters in Industrial Settings
WiFi 6E extends the WiFi 6 (802.11ax) standard into the 6 GHz band, which opens up a significant block of clean, uncongested spectrum. For industrial plants — refineries, chemical facilities, pharmaceutical operations, offshore platforms — this is a practical upgrade, not just a speed bump. The 6 GHz band provides additional non-overlapping channels that reduce interference in RF-dense environments where multiple access points, instrument networks, and legacy wireless systems compete for airtime. Lower latency and higher throughput also support the growing use of real-time location services, mobile HMIs, video-based inspection, and IIoT sensor networks across plant floors.
As access point manufacturers like Cisco, Aruba, and Meraki continue rolling out WiFi 6E and WiFi 7 hardware with tri-band radios, the antenna infrastructure in hazardous areas needs to keep pace. The CTX-2403-TR and CTM-2403-TR give facility engineers a drop-in solution that maintains full hazardous area compliance while supporting the latest wireless standards.
