1+0 Direct or remote (*1) - Single 2
1+1 Direct or remote No Single 2
1+1 Direct or remote Yes Single 4
2+0 co-polar Direct or remote - Single 2
2+0 cross-polar Direct or remote (*2) - Dual 2
(*1) Select single-polar antennas (direct or remote mount) for normal 1+0 links.
Alternatively, to provide for a future upgrade from 1+0 to 2+0, select dual-polar remote
mount antennas.
(*2) As an alternative to purchasing a dual-polar direct mount antenna, use an orthogonal
mount kit (OMK) to upgrade any standard antenna to dual-polar direct mount; refer to
Ordering OMKs on page 2-90.
Only low VSWR antennas are supported for IRFU based installations. Use PTP
LINKPlanner to confirm that the selected antenna is compatible with the IRFU.
