The Barracuda OMB.242.08F21 has been designed to provide long distance coverage at the 2.4-2.5GHz Wi-Fi band. The OMB.242 is a fiberglass robust outdoor antenna for use where an omnidirectional radiation pattern is required. The base is aluminum - meaning it is resistant to rusting. The fiberglass enclosure is UV coated making this antenna suitable for the harshest outdoor environments. The Barracuda is IP65 rated and can be mounted in areas where installation may be difficult. Introduction The peak gain of 8dBi ensures constant reception and transmission between the device and its network. The omnidirectional antenna collinear dipole design means it uniformly in the azimuth with a high gain, providing coverage over long distances, thus minimizing the number of cells or nodes needed in a network. Introduction Typical Applications Include: - Public Safety - Wireless Video Systems - Agriculture Introduction This antenna is provided with a wall/pole mount bracket, for more information please contact your regional Taoglas customer support team.
