Wireless Antenna

Wireless Antenna is used for extending the range of your wireless network. There are several different types of Wireless Antenna. Directional, are for long distance and are focused. Arc provides generally a 90 degree arc of coverage. Whereas, Omni provides 360 degree coverage!

Omni directional Wireless Antenna provides a boost to your signal strength over a wide area. The signal emits in all directions, so is perfect if you need a moderate gain in your home or office environment. As the signal are increased in all directions. Omni directional Wireless Antenna extends range the least of all antennas. If you have a D-Link wireless access point or router you can use this antenna to extend your range. Other devices can be used but will need special cables.

Directional Wireless Antenna is the most powerful, offering significant improvements in signal strength. The most powerful directional antenna will send a wireless signal up to 5.5Km in a tight focused beam. Perfect for connecting campuses together or metro wireless networks.

Arc Wireless Antenna provides a significant boost to a signal over a focused arc. Perfect for putting in the corner of warehouse to extend coverage. Or on the ceiling of an office to provide better coverage in cluttered areas.

Wireless Antenna extension cable, extends how far the antenna can be form your wireless access point or router. Great if you need to place an antenna on a roof or something. Be careful as the longer the cable the more the signal will degrade.

Since the Wireless Antenna is the primary source of RF emissions, scientists are particularly concerned about wireless phones that have a built-in antenna. These phones would pose a higher risk because the Wireless Antenna is located close to the user's head during phone conversations.

Previous research on wireless phones has been conflicting. For instance, the CDRH reports that although there have been cases of wireless phone users being diagnosed with brain cancer, this type of cancer is just as common in people who don't use wireless phones. Also, some animal studies have suggested a possible link between low-level RF emissions and the acceleration of cancer growth. However, other studies, some involving humans, have found no increased risk of brain tumors associated with wireless phone use.

When top mounting Wireless Antenna, proper grounding procedures to the tower must be observed. You MUST provide a direct DC earth ground to both the antenna and tower. This can and will minimize lightning strikes from damaging equipment. Always consult your local and national codes for grounding requirements.
