ProSafe™ 14 dBi Patch Panel Directional Antenna


ANT24D18


Boost your RF signal in a specific direction for long range point-to-point connections

2.4 GHz frequency range for 802.11b/g applications

Corrosion-proof and weather resistant for outdoor placements

Overview

Optimize WLAN Range and Power

NETGEAR's ProSafe line of antennas and accessories for 802.11b, 802.11g and 802.11n devices give you multiple options for maximizing the reach and performance of your wireless infrastructure devices. Every WLAN deployment is unique. When planning a network that incorporates wireless, varying facility sizes, construction materials, distance between transmission points and physical obstructions must be accounted for. With both directional and omni-directional antennas, indoor and outdoor options, low-loss cables, mounting hardware, and other accessories, installers can customize a wireless solution that meets the requirements of even the most challenging applications.

ProSafe 14 dBi Patch Panel Directional Antenna

The ANT24D18 indoor/outdoor directional* 2.4 GHz antenna provides a 3-in-1 solution for mixed applications in combination with an 802.11b or 802.11g access point or wireless router. One, it delivers extended access point range in a single floor environment ideally positioned in the corner of a building. Two, it functions point-to-point so that you can wirelessly connect LANs between buildings in a campus-type environment. Three, it provides multifloor transmission when placed on a ceiling, as the higher power output extends the range through typical flooring materials. Includes several mounting options (fixed wall, wall adjustable, and pole), cable sold separately.

* Directional: Concentrates transmit and receive radio-frequency energy into a cone, or beam, for higher signal strength and reception in a single direction.

Ordering Information (all regions)

  • ANT24D18

¹ Range estimation is based on FCC-compliant operation of two (2) 802.11 APs each with two (2) ANT24D18 antennas placed at 90 degree rotation, 5 m antenna cables, and lightning arrestors installed. With the antennas positioned 36 m above the ground, data rate should sustain 1 Mbps under ideal line-of-sight conditions..

² Gain: A ratio of decibels to an isotropic antenna that is commonly used to measure antenna coverage.
