Optimize WLAN Range and Power
NETGEAR’s ProSafe line of antennas and accessories for 802.11b and 802.11g
devices give you multiple options for maximizing the reach and performance of
your wireless infrastructure devices. Every WLAN deployment is unique. When
planning a network that incorporates wireless, varying facility sizes,
construction materials, distance between transmission points and physical
obstructions must be accounted for. With both directional and omni-directional
antennas, low-loss cables, mounting hardware, and other accessories, installers
can customize a value-priced wireless solution that meets the requirements of
even the most challenging applications. All NETGEAR antennas are FCC-approved to
work with the following NETGEAR models: WAG302, WG302, WAG102, WG102, FVG318,
FWG114P.
5 dBi Omni-directional Antenna
The ANT24O5 indoor omni-directional** antenna is designed to extend coverage of
wireless 802.11b or 802.11g devices. This antenna is especially useful in
optimizing coverage when you want to place your wireless access point or router
out of plain view – in a wiring closet or above a ceiling pad. Locate this
antenna at the top of a cubicle, on a ceiling, desktop or wall, where it is more
receptive to radio signals. Ideal placement is on a wall, 2 m high, or on the
ceiling facing the area to cover. Includes mounting brackets, cable sold
separately.***
** Omni-directional: Radiates radio-frequency energy equally in all directions for widespread, all-points deployment.
*** NETGEAR recommends use of antenna cable up to 5 m long with the ANT24O5 antenna.
Note: To obtain optimal results in extending wireless range with antenna installations, it is recommended that a qualified, professional installer is consulted for site survey and proper installation.
To comply with FCC rules the ANT24O5 antenna should only be used with devices that have been FCC approved for use with the ANT24O5. Please check the NETGEAR web site at http://tools.netgear.com/legal/fcc_antennas.html for an updated list of FCC approved devices.
For EU, use of any antenna requires careful planning and extra consideration to comply with EU emissions and health standards and regulations. It is recommended that a qualified professional installer service is consulted for site survey and proper installation. Antenna installation must comply with the maximum level authorized by each country.
Devices that comply with EU regulations to work with the ANT24O5 are listed at http://tools.netgear.com/legal/eu_antennas.html.
