Installation Notes Installation Notes This antenna is designed to be mounted indoors on a suspended ceiling track having either flush or recessed mounted ceiling tiles. In addition to antenna orientation, wireless access point installation location with respect to all wireless clients plays a significant role in determining overall network performance. Clients at the furthest coverage points might have 10% to 50% of the bandwidth of clients close to it. Wireless network coverage in one a

Safety Instructions Caution We recommend you avoid installing wireless antennas in or near rack-mounted installations that include networking equipment and computer servers whose radiated noise emissions can severely degrade radio performance. � To extend the coaxial cable included with your antenna, we recomend a low-loss or ultra-low-loss coaxial cable for installation flexibility without a significant loss in range. The following table lists transmission loss information about low-lo
