Introduction
This section introduces the NETGEAR ANT24BNA 500 mW Bi-directional Booster and the
NETGEAR ANT24BDC 6 VDC, 1.5A Power Injector and related components.
The 500-milliwatt bi-directional power booster for the NETGEAR ME103 802.11b ProSafe
Wireless Access Point increases the transmission signal from an average 50 mW to 500 mW
and amplifies the signal by 10 dB (10 times) in receive mode. Use this when you want to
maintain a single access point device to cover a larger area.
The ANT24BDC enables locating an antenna and a NETGEAR ANT24BNA booster more
than 30 feet away from the wireless unit in a remote area where electrical power is not available.
DC power is supplied to the booster through the antenna cable by means of the power injector.
This eliminates the need to install extra wires. Moreover, unlike power over Ethernet devices,
this configuration never needs to be reset.
The booster and power injector are part of a wireless system, including the access point, cables
and antennas. According to FCC regulations, the booster can only be used with the wireless
access point that is provided with it. Check http://www.NETGEAR.com/go/antennas_fcc for a
list of approved devices.
