Jaybeam dual cross-polar base station antenna with RET

Jaybeam was established in the UK in 1948 and became a long-standing supplier of PMR/trunked radio and cellular base station antennas. The Jaybeam brand was subsequently acquired by Amphenol and today trades as part of Amphenol Procom, which brings together Jaybeam (UK, 1948), Procom (Denmark, 1980) and Skymasts (UK, joined 2014) within Amphenol's wider antenna business. CRS PLUS sources legacy Jaybeam-branded base station antennas as refurbished or used secondary-market stock, typically for like-for-like replacement on existing sites rather than new deployment.

How to read these part numbers

The source description 2*XpolB85-65TVarG18L1.9JB WT856519AA+RET decodes as: 2* (a twin/dual array), Xpol (cross-polarised +/-45 degree radiating elements), a beamwidth/tilt-variant designator (B85-65T) and a variable/electrical-tilt gain and length class (VarG18L1.9, roughly an 18dBi-class, ~1.9m unit) per Jaybeam's own part naming, JB for Jaybeam, followed by the internal part number and a note that the unit is supplied with a remote electrical tilt (RET) actuator fitted.

Ordering notes

Confirm the AISG protocol version supported by your site's RET/TMA controller before ordering — a RET actuator that does not match your controller's AISG version will not respond to tilt commands even though it fits mechanically. Condition is stated per quotation; this is a refurbished or used unit, not new stock, and availability is confirmed on enquiry. Hardware only: any RET controller software or licensing remains between the buyer and their own network management platform. Destination type approval and import permits (CST/SABER, TDRA, ICASA, CA, CMC, ARPCE) are the buyer's responsibility and we will confirm this on the quotation.

Lifecycle and availability

Jaybeam as a brand continues today under Amphenol Procom, part of Amphenol's antenna business, following Amphenol's acquisition of Jaybeam Wireless. The independently Jaybeam-branded antenna offered on this page is a legacy unit, supplied as refurbished or used secondary-market stock rather than current Amphenol production.

Warranty

Warranty terms vary by item, by condition and by the supplier the equipment is sourced from. They are stated in writing on the quotation, per line item, before you commit to an order.

Where equipment is supplied new through an authorised channel, the manufacturer's warranty applies and is passed to you.

Send us the part numbers you need and we will confirm warranty terms alongside availability, condition, lead time and price.

Frequently asked questions

Yes — the source part description notes +RET, meaning a remote electrical tilt actuator is fitted. Confirm your site controller's AISG protocol version with us before ordering.
