Elevate your wireless network infrastructure with the professional-grade 2400-2500MHz 2x12dBi High Gain Dual-Polarized Fiberglass Antenna. Engineered for demanding outdoor Point-to-Point (PTP) and Point-to-Multi-Point (PTMP) links, this specialized antenna provides the ultimate solution for extending the reach and boosting the capacity of your 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi (802.11b/g/n) and other ISM band applications. By combining high, focused gain with critical dual-polarization technology, this antenna ensures stable, high-throughput connectivity even over long distances and in challenging RF environments.
Dual-Polarization for Maximum Capacity and Stability
The cornerstone of this antenna's performance is its dual-polarized design, which is essential for maximizing data rates and link resilience in modern wireless systems.
2x2 MIMO Support: Featuring two independent antenna elements within a single radome—one tuned for Vertical Polarization (V Pol) and one for Horizontal Polarization (H Pol)—this unit is optimized to fully support 2x2 MIMO (Multiple-Input Multiple-Output) radio systems. This capability allows the simultaneous transmission and reception of two distinct data streams, effectively doubling the potential throughput of the wireless link.
Exceptional 12dBi High Gain: Each of the two elements provides a robust 12dBi gain across the entire 2400-2500MHz band. This high gain is crucial for concentrating the radiated energy into a focused beam, ensuring maximum signal strength over long outdoor distances, penetrating light foliage, and overcoming high path loss.
Enhanced Link Budget: The combination of dual polarization and high gain significantly enhances the link budget, leading to lower Bit Error Rates (BER) and a wider operational range compared to single-polarized or lower-gain antennas.
Fading and Interference Mitigation: By utilizing polarization diversity, the antenna helps mitigate the adverse effects of multipath fading (signals bouncing off objects) and atmospheric interference. The receiver can intelligently combine the signals from both polarities, ensuring a more stable and reliable connection, which is paramount for mission-critical wireless bridges.
Industrial-Grade Fiberglass Construction
Built for permanent outdoor installation, the antenna’s physical construction prioritizes durability, weather resistance, and long-term signal integrity.
Corrosion-Proof Fiberglass Radome: The radiating elements are housed within a premium-quality fiberglass radome. This material is selected for its superior RF transparency, providing minimal signal loss while offering complete protection against corrosion, UV radiation, salt spray, and chemical exposure, making it ideal for coastal or industrial environments.
IP67 Waterproof Rating: The entire assembly, including the base and cable entry points, is sealed to meet or exceed the IP67 ingress protection standard. This guarantees complete resistance to dust, dirt, and water immersion, ensuring the internal electronics remain operational regardless of weather conditions.
Superior Mechanical Strength: The rigid fiberglass pole construction provides excellent mechanical stability and wind load resistance, maintaining the antenna's precise vertical alignment even in high-wind conditions, which is crucial for maximizing long-distance link performance.
DC Ground Lightning Protection: The antenna design often includes an internal DC short to ground, providing basic protection against static electricity and offering a path for induced lightning surges, safeguarding connected radio equipment.
Optimized Connectivity and Application
The antenna is designed for straightforward connection to professional-grade wireless access points, bridges, and cellular gateways.
Dedicated RF Ports: The unit features two separate RF connection ports, typically N-Type Female connectors, clearly labeled for Vertical and Horizontal polarization feeds. This robust connector standard ensures secure, low-loss coupling with the high-power dual-chain radio unit.
Simplified Pole Mounting: The antenna includes a heavy-duty, adjustable mounting kit designed for secure attachment to poles or masts. The adjustable nature of the bracket allows for precise fine-tuning of the azimuth and elevation, which is essential for maximizing the signal alignment on focused, long-range links.
Ideal Applications:
Long-Distance Wireless Bridges: Establishing reliable, high-speed PTP links between buildings, campuses, or across bodies of water.
Wireless Backhaul: Providing robust, high-capacity backhaul connections for remote sites, surveillance systems, or temporary event networks.
PTMP Base Stations: Serving as a high-gain sector antenna (when used with an optional beamformer) or as a powerful omnidirectional base station for widespread coverage.
Industrial IoT and SCADA: Ensuring highly stable 2.4 GHz connectivity for supervisory control and data acquisition systems in challenging environments.
The 2400-2500MHz 2x12dBi High Gain Dual-Polarized Fiberglass Antenna is the premier choice for networking professionals who cannot afford compromise on range, reliability, or data throughput in the crowded 2.4 GHz band. Invest in this dual-polarized powerhouse to future-proof your extended wireless infrastructure.
