Hardware Description

Integrated High-Gain Antenna

The OAP6626A wireless bridge includes an integrated high-gain (17 dBi) flat-panel 
antenna for 5 GHz operation. The antenna can provide a direct line-of-sight link up 
to 15.4 km (9.6 miles) with a 6 Mbps data rate.

External Antenna Options

The unit provides various external antenna options for both 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz 
operation. In a point-to-multipoint configuration, an external high-gain 
omnidirectional, sector, or high-gain panel antenna can be attached to communicate 
with bridges spread over a wide area. The following table summarizes the external 
antenna options:
