Antennas are one of the most important components of wireless communications. Good antennas are far more important than higher power outputs.
This article should focus on specific antennas we use, much like the Wireless Cards article focuses on specific radio cards we use.
Point-to-Point Antennas
- Pac Wireless 5GHz Grid Dish Antenna
- These have performed great for tog, right to specs. Relatively small wind load for a high-gain PTP antenna and the construction is sturdy enough.
Special Purpose Antennas
- Pac Wireless "Rootenna"
- 2.4GHz, 5GHz, 900MHz and even a model that is dual-band 2.4 and 5GHz. Two sizes (lower and higher gain) and two profiles (low-profile/thin and deeper more roomy enclosure.) Words cannot express how useful these are. tog uses these for CPE and sometimes even for PTP links and microcell APs (drill a hole, add an external N-type connector!) Pac Wireless is constantly making design improvements, too.
