Product Overview
Use the Cisco® HGA9N High-Gain Omnidirectional Antenna for N-Type Connectors (Figure 1) to increase the range of your wireless network. Attach the antenna to the exterior access point to increase both the effective strength of the outgoing signals and the receive sensitivity of the incoming signals.
The added signal strength and sensitivity also improve midrange communication reliability, because every packet comes through loud and clear, reducing retransmissions due to weak signal reception.
The 9-dBi signal strength allows the signals to travel farther and provides better signal detection in a 360-degree radius.
The weatherproof housing is able to withstand harsh outdoor conditions. The antenna also includes a lightning surge protector, mounting kit, and cable.
Features
• National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) rated, lightning-protected, weatherproof housing
