Industrial Wireless 2-port High Gain Panel Antenna (IW-ANT-PNL-515-N)

This chapter contains the following sections:

Overview

The Industrial Wireless 2-port high gain panel antenna (IW-ANT-PNL-515-N) is a directional 2-port array solution deployed in a variety of applications. Its versatile mounting solutions and unique and highly efficient radiation properties make this antenna a suitable solution for point-to-point communications in the industrial wireless space.

The antenna is equipped with two N(f) connectors and comes with 2x LMR-240 cables. The IW-ANT-PNL-515-N is also compatible with the bracket and mounting schemes for Cisco's IW9165D Industrial client.
