French term or phrase: déport d\'antenne

This is in tender specifications for roadside monitoring equipment (to monitor speed, running lights, etc). The current section deals with telecoms: how the devices transmit information to a processing center.

Context (it is at the end):

Intégration du routeur au format de sa carte mère nue
Faible encombrement puisque sa taille est réduite à celle d'une simple carte mère ;
Câble d'alimentation spécifique fourni par le constructeur pour alimenter directement en 12v ;
Poids limité puisque ni boitier, ni transformateur électrique.
Pre-requis :
Alimentation : la cabine doit fournir une alimentation 12v stabilisée ;
Dissipation thermique : intégrer le routeur afin de laisser suffisamment de place pour que la chaleur puisse être dissipée correctement et garantir le fonctionnement du routeur dans sa plage d'utilisation normale ;
Panneau de connectique : il doit être accessible pour permettre :
La visualisation des voyants ;
Le câblage des liens réseaux ;
Lien Ethernet entre le routeur et l'équipement de terrain ;

déport d'antenne radio for remoting the (radio) aerial / antenna

Explanation:
'déport', as we have had several times before in KudoZ, simply means 'posiitoning it to a remote location' — though this may be far or nearby!

We do use the verb 'to remote' in technical EN, and an expression using a verb would probably be more natural here in EN.

To be honest, we'd probably normally express it rather differently in EN, so it's up to you how far away from the FR text you feel you want to go; I think a more natural wording in EN would be 'aerial output cable' — or even just 'aerial cable', since from the context, we know it is almost certainly only a transmitting device (could check this from wider context, whether communication is 2-way or one-way?)

Note that it is not strictly necessary to add the 'radio' in EN, since from the context it couldn't be anything else, hence my suggestion in ( ) — you might equally replace 'radio' with 'RF'.

Note that 'aerial' is traditionally used in EN-GB, and is still commonly found; 'antenna' is the word you need for EN-US, though is now becoming much more widely accepted even in EN-GB.
