Lucent Technologies Antenna 2
The Spread Spectrum Technology of the WaveACCESS radio
requires high gain antennas.
■ The 14 dBi Directional Antenna is a Yagi antenna that has
been designed to provide a maximum gain for your outdoor
solution while still allowing for ease of use and installation of
your outdoor equipment.
■ The 7 dBi Omni-Directional Antenna is a pole-type antenna
that has been designed to provide a wide range radio beam to
allow easy alignment of antennas.
Another antenna type for outdoor usage is the Lucent
Technologies 5 dBi Vehicle Mount Antenna. This omni-directional
antenna is typically used for mobile wireless clients such as fork-lift
trucks.
Together with the high sensitivity of the WaveACCESS radios,
these antennas provide the best solution to cover high-speed
wireless point-to-point and point-to-multipoint links (see also
Chapter 3 ”Determine Range & Clearance”).

WARNING:
You are not allowed to connect WaveACCESS devices to
any other outdoor antenna than the Lucent Technologies
antennas described above. Using different antennas may:
■ Void Warranty for your WaveACCESS products.
■ Be in violation of local radio regulations.
