The Poynting OMNI-296 Dual band Omni-Directional Wi-Fi antenna can connect to any WiFi access point, new or old. The OMNI 296 antenna allows you to switch to a different wifi band where there is a high concentration of wifi equipment. In this way, the WiFi traffic is distributed over several frequency bands, which increases performance and flexibility.
The OMNI-296 is a Si-So (single input-Single output) antenna with a gain of 6 dBi on the 2.4 GHz band and 7.5 dBi on the 5 GHz band. This high gain makes the antenna very suitable for point-to-point connections and environments where many WiFi devices are present. As an extra, the OMNI-296 can also operate on the 3.5 GHz WiMax band, which means that it can actually be called a TRI-band antenna.
The housing is made of the impact-resistant and chemical-resistant ABS plastic and is therefore very suitable for use in demanding environments.
