Antennas
The HiveAP includes two fixed dual-band antennas. These antennas are omnidirectional, providing fairly equal
coverage in all directions in a toroidal (donut-shaped) pattern around each antenna. When the antennas are
positioned vertically, coverage expands primarily on the horizontal plane, extending horizontally much more than
vertically. See
Figure 4
, which shows the toroidal pattern emanating from a single vertically positioned antenna. To
change coverage to be more vertical than horizontal, position the antennas horizontally. You can also resize the
area of coverage by increasing or decreasing the signal strength.

Omnidirectional Radiation Pattern
The pair of fixed dual-band antennas can operate at different frequencies concurrently
—
one antenna at 2.4 GHz
(IEEE 802.11b/g) and the other at 5 GHz (IEEE 802.11a)
—
and they can also both operate currently at the same
frequency
—
for example, at 2.4 GHz. Conceptually, the relationship of antennas and radios is shown in
Figure 5
.

Note: To show the shape of radiation more clearly,
this illustration depicts the coverage provided by
only one active antenna and is not drawn to scale.
The omnidirectional antennas
radiate equally in all directions,
forming a toroidal pattern.
