outdoor or wet environments. 

 

„

  The use of 5GHz spectrum, the allowed channels can be very in different country. 

Please consult with your country’s telecom regulation first. 

„

  The integrated antenna has forward coverage angle of 20 degree in vertical and 

30 degree in horizontal direction.
