  • High speed roaming - Up to 70 mph (100+ km/h)
Download Adobe AcrobatTM Data Sheets PDF file from BreezeCOM's site (must have Adobe Acrobat Reader Plug-in): The wireless units are supplied in two models which are identical except for their antennas. The standard units are supplied with two integral 2 dBi omni-directional antennas. These antennas are intended for indoor installations with short to medium distances between sites.

The "D" model products are supplied with two customized female connectors for use with indoor or outdoor antennas.

Indoor Antennas Omni-5

Long range indoor coverage. The Omni-5, 5 dBi, omni-directional antennas are used in pairs and come standard on the BreezeNET DS.11 Access Point and Station Adapter. They are also an option for longer range indoor use with the BreezeNET PRO.11 D Model bridges.

OMNI-6

Extending indoor range of access points and station adapters. The OMNI-6, 6 dBi, omni-directional antenna can be used with the BreezeNET PRO.11 D Model Bridges and DS.11 Outdoor Bridges for long range indoor applications.

The OMNI-6 antenna attaches to the female connector on the PRO.11 D Model Bridges and the DS.11 Outdoor Bridges and provides 360 degree horizontal/20 degree vertical transmission.

Uni-8.5

The 8.5 dBi antenna has a wide beam width (75 degrees horizontal, 60 degrees vertical) and is intended for both indoor & outdoor installation. The UNI-8.5, 8.5 dBi, directional antenna can be used with the BreezeNET PRO.11 D Model Bridges and DS.11 Outdoor Bridges. It is primarily designed for long range indoor applications, such as large warehouses and retail stores.


Outdoor Antennas & Rooftop Installations

MMCX-2

Long range PC Card applications. The MMCX-2, 2 dBi, omni-directional antennas come in pairs and are used with the BreezeNET PRO.11 SA-PCR PC Card for long range outdoor applications. In addition they can be used in harsh indoor environments such as warehouses, airports, and large storage areas where range can be affected by too much multipath propagation.

MOBL-5

The MOBL-5, 5 dBi, omni-directional antenna can be used with the BreezeNET SA-PCR PRO.11 PC Card for vehicular or highly mobile applications. The MOBL-5 antenna attaches to the female connector on the PRO.11 PC Card and provides, 360 degree horizontal/25 degree vertical transmission. A magnetic base allows the MOBL-5 to be attached to any steel surface, such as an automobile or truck cab.

Rooftop installations give several advantages:

  • They generally increase the range of the antenna.
  • There are likely to be less obstacles in the path.
  • Height above the ground gives improved performance.
  • Multipath problems resulting from reflections from buildings, trees and variations in terrain are reduced to a minimum.

OMNI-8

The OMNI-8, 8-dBi, omni-directional antenna can be used with the BreezeNET PRO.11 D Model Bridges and DS.11 Outdoor Bridges. It is used for outdoor, multipoint links that need 360 degree dispersion pattern and provides 360 degree horizontal/13 degree vertical transmission.

Uni-9

The UNI-9, 9 dBi, directional antenna can be used with the BreezeNET PRO.11 D Model Bridges and DS.11 Outdoor Bridges. It is primarily designed for short range outdoor use and provides 75 degree horizontal/60 degree vertical transmission.

UNI-11

The UNI-11, 11 dBi, directional antenna can be used with the BreezeNET PRO.11 D Model Bridges and DS.11 Outdoor Bridges. It is primarily designed for use by ISPs, school districts, and campus area networks since it is capable of transmitting at longer distances with a very wide dispersion pattern and provides 75 degree horizontal/28 degree vertical transmission.

UNI-13

The UNI-13, 13 dBi, directional antenna can be used with the BreezeNET PRO.11 D Model Bridges and DS.11 Outdoor Bridges. It is primarily designed for medium range transmission from a remote site to a mulitpoint link and provides 46 degree horizontal/28 degree vertical transmission.

UNI-16

The UNI-16, 16 dBi, directional antenna can be used with the BreezeNET PRO.11 D Model Bridges and DS.11 Outdoor Bridges. It is primarily designed for medium to long range transmission from a remote site to a mulitpoint link. It is ideal for applications requiring low profile, high gain antennas and provides 28 degree horizontal/28 degree vertical transmission.

UNI-24

The UNI-24, 24 dBi, directional antenna can be used with the BreezeNET PRO.11 D Model Bridges and DS.11 Outdoor Bridges. It is primarily designed for long range, outdoor point-to-point links and can achieve ranges of up to eight miles with the PRO.11 D models, and 15 miles with the DS.11 bridges, using UNI-24s at both ends of the link (can be extended with amplifiers). It provides a six degree horizontal/10 degree vertical transmission.

Antenna Alignment

Uni-8 & Uni-9 Antenna Alignment is generally sufficient to align this antenna "by eye" in the general direction of the remote site. The wide beamwidth of this antenna does not usually require finely tuned alignment. Position this antenna vertically in its mounting housing on a wall or a window.

Uni-11, Uni-13, Uni-16 & Uni-24 Antenna Alignment

All these rooftop antennas require fine tuning using the RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indication) test which will be done by Wireless Internet Services when setup.
