Omnidirectional WiFi Antennas

An omnidirectional WiFi antenna can be used as part of an external wireless networking solution for those who are trying to avoid the high cost of installing added infrastructure. For example, in order to upgrade a hospital with wireless networking, that hospital might install a number of access points, or hotspots, in order to accommodate wireless traffic. The drawback is that if there isn’t already preexisting wiring or if the possibility of adding new wiring is limited, then this is problematic.

Investing in External Omnidirectional WiFi Antennas

With a single omnidirectional WiFi antenna, however, you can effectively provide a wireless networking solution to your entire business without having to rely on expensive redesign. Connecting your business’s servers to an external omnidirectional WiFi antenna also carries of the benefit of providing WiFi service to those who are not in the building, giving staff the ability to check and even update patient records without being on premises provided they are in range.

An omnidirectional WiFi antenna that offers between 10 and 13 dBi and in the 5.725 to 5.845 GHz frequency range is a good fit for longer range 802.11a access at larger business or government complexes. The higher dBi levels are important for ensuring the signal itself is strong over longer distances. Typically, the higher the dBi level, the greater the range of the antenna is.
