Panel/ Directional antenna concentrates signal strength in a beam 80-degrees wide (horizontal) for maximum signal strength and performance over long distances. The narrow concentration enables excellent distance. Also referred to as Sector or Sectoral antenna.
Can serve as access point's antenna, or attach to client/card or bridge, and point directly at the access point.
Concentrated radiation-signal pattern in a narrow beam of 80 degrees (horizontal) provides much more signal strength efficiency in the direction which the antenna is facing, thus accounting for the high gain of a small, compact antenna.Suitable when the signal is coming or going in a certain direction or directional pattern:
As access point antenna: Providing signal to clients that are all in a certain direction (80-degree horizontal beamwidth): Place antenna on wall, and fix swivel to point it facing the clients.
As client-antenna or for WiFi bridge: Connecting to an access point in a certain direction
Ideal for point-to-point links, such as building-to-building links & long distance wireless network links
Compliant with WiFi 802.11g, 802.11b ( worldwide wireless networking standards ) and WiMAX (broadband wireless standard)
