INTEGRATED HIGH-GAIN ANTENNA

The WL-575 bridge includes an integrated high-gain (17 dBi) flat-panel antenna for 5 GHz operation. With this antenna, in a direct line-of-sight link using a point-to-point deployment, the range can be as long as 15 km (9.3 miles), with a 6 Mbps data rate.

EXTERNAL ANTENNA OPTIONS

The WL-575 bridge also provides various external antenna options for both 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz operation. In a point-to-multipoint configuration, an external high-gain omnidirectional, sector, or high-gain panel antenna can be attached to communicate with bridges spread over a wide area. The bridge requires a

2.4GHz external antenna for 802.11b/g operation. The following table summarizes the external antenna options:
