Cisco Horizontally Polarized Omnidirectional Base Station Antenna (IW-ANT-OMV-55-N)

This chapter contains the following sections:

Overview

The Cisco horizontally polarized omnidirectional base station antenna (IW-ANT-OMV-55-N) design utilizes a linear array, encapsulated in a heavy-duty fiberglass radome with a thick-walled mounting base for reliable, long-term use. This rugged design withstands harsh environments, making the antenna ideal for Industrial Wireless and Military applications. The antennas in this series are DC grounded for ESD protection of radio components.
