8. Antenna Terminology
dBi (Decibel Isotropic) is a measurement unit of gain for an antenna
strength. It is compared to a mathematically ideal which uniformly dis-
tributes energy in all directions. The standard factory antenna strength
for the La Fonera is 2 dBi. A higher dBi level, like the 7dBi of the La
Fontenna, means a more powerful wireless signal.
