Frequently Asked Questions
What are the key differences between this 802.11ac and older 802.11n access points?
The 802.11ac sector antenna supports up to 866 Mbit over-the-air datarates and 80 MHz channels, delivering significantly faster wireless speeds and more reliable multi-user performance than 802.11n.
What kind of coverage area does a 90-degree beamwidth provide?
The 90-degree beamwidth creates a sectored coverage pattern ideal for placing one unit to serve a large area like a courtyard, parking lot, or warehouse floor without dead zones.
Can I use this as a point-to-point wireless bridge between buildings?
While designed as a sector antenna CPE, the directional nature makes it suitable for bridging applications; consult Procure.ae on whether this model matches your specific link budget and distance.
