New range of antenna options for BridgePoynt Multipurpose enclosure

New dual and quad antenna BridgePoynt Multipurpose enclosures provide solutions for more hotspot and bridge applications than ever before

Johannesburg, 03 May 2007

For indoor/outdoor hotspots and bridges the following solutions are ideal - WLAN-A0030: Ideal for Mimo systems, the four 9.5dBi directional patches are integrated into the enclosure, offering two horizontal and two vertically polarised antennas with correct spacing for WiFi diversity and Mimo.

For outstanding indoor performance, simply integrate a Mimo Access Point and deploy the unit aimed towards the desired coverage area. The directional antennas provide superior indoor performance coupled with the increased throughput from Mimo. This system is ideal for large-scale indoor deployments and is especially suited for highly reflective environments, such as factory floors and warehouses.

As an alternative to Mimo, two standard WiFi APs can be deployed in the same unit, each using diversity on a pair of antennas at different channels to provide a high capacity WLAN.

Recommended retail price excluding VAT: R840
100 + prices excluding VAT: R588

WLAN-A0031: Dual 2.45GHz 7dBi Omni-directional antennas are integrated inside the enclosure. This gives excellent range and provides space diversity for indoor and outdoor WiFi applications. Users find two to three times the coverage range in cluttered and indoor environments. This is an excellent unit to deploy in a large-scale indoor environment where the requirement is for Omni-directional coverage, or for a small-scale outdoor deployment, such as a residential complex or small business park.

Recommended retail price excluding VAT: R900
100 + prices excluding VAT: R630 WLAN-A0032:

Dual 14dBi directional patch antennas integrated in the enclosure with diversity spacing. This system allows you to benefit from the advantages of diversity in your longer range outdoor links. The use of diversity here improves reliability and performance and will have the best effect in cluttered urban environments, and when transmitted near bodies of water. As an alternative, deploy two WiFi cards, one on each antenna on different channels to get a double wireless link.

Recommended retail price excluding VAT: R780
100 + prices excluding VAT: R546

WLAN-A0033: Dual 8.5dBi externally top mounted Omni-directional antennas with integrated 20dBi 5.1-5.9GHz panel antenna. This is really aimed at outdoor access points and mesh network solutions. The 5GHz directional panels provide backhaul or interconnect options if needed. The externally mounted Omnis provide superior range with diversity capability for best possible local access provision.

This will be available soon.

Note: Poynting's BridgePoynt Multipurpose allows for mounting of all fully deployed Mikrotik Router boards with sufficient space for two RB112s. It is also the only enclosure on the market that has the space to allow more than one typical AP to be integrated in the same enclosure, with superior weatherproofing, UV protection and strength to protect your electronics.
