SUMMARY SECTION:                                                                                                                                 

• Compliant with 802.11n, 802.11g, 802.11b, 802.11a (worldwide wireless networking standards)

• Concentrates signal-beam in half-circle (semi-circle) pattern (radiates with a beam of 180 degrees)

• Radiation pattern has omni characteristics in a semi-circle pattern in the direction in which it is facing. 

• Concentration of signal-strength in a directional/180-degree pattern provides much more signal strength efficiency in directional-signal situations--as compared to omni-directional antennas which dissipate the signal in a 360-degree pattern

• Referred to as "Sector" or "Sectoral" antenna, because radiation pattern covers a sector in direction it is facing

• Suitable when the signal is coming or going in a certain direction or directional pattern:

  • As client antenna:   Connecting to an access point in a certain direction

  • As access point antenna:  Providing signal to clients that are all in a certain direction or 180-degree pattern: Place antenna on wall, and fix swivel to point it facing the clients.

Mounts on wall, outdoors or indoors:  Mounting hardware included:  Antenna can be swiveled to face any direction. Ideal for point to multipoint links:  Several or numerous clients accessing the wireless network from one general direction Suitable for building-to-building links & long distance wireless network links Antenna has RP-SMA (female) connector:  The cables in the table below enable connection of this antenna to the popular RP-SMA (F) connector of D-Link, NetGear & many others (see list)

COMPATIBILITY - List of Compatible Products

Connector fits items that have an RP-SMA (Reverse Polarity [RP] SMA) jack/connector. RP-SMA = Reverse Polarity SMA

Compatibility question?  Please reference: searchable database of all wireless gear to find if your equipment is compatible with this item:  Search by brand and/or model number.

GENDER DETERMINATION: Gender of RP-SMA is counter-intuitive in two ways:  Please observe picture & note it is correct.

1. The gender is referring to the pins inside--not the threads. RP-SMA male has threads on inside.

2. "RP" stands for reverse polarization - the pins are female when they appear to be male, and vice versa.
