Integrated High-Gain Antenna

 

Integrated High-Gain Antenna    

1 

 

The WA6202A unit 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 WA6202AM unit does not include an integrated antenna, but 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 WA6202A and WA6202AM units both require an omnidirectional or 
sector external antenna for 2.4  GHz operation. The following table summarizes the
