It can be used for point-to-point links.

Better Dual-Band Signal

Dual-band WiFi ensures a better connection for your devices. It offers greater range and better speeds than single band. With the OMNI-296 you can boost dual band WiFi to your home, office, or M2M device.

Up to 7.5 dBi of Gain

This antenna boosts 2.5 GHz WiFi by up to +6 dBi or 5 GHz WiFi by up to +7.5 dBi, increasing received WiFi signals by over four times.

Set it Up Anywhere

The OMNI-296 is dust, weather and vandal resistant. You can set it up on a pole or a wall, with everything you need included in the kit. Comes with an N-Type female connector as standard.

About the Poynting OMNI-296

The OMNI-296 antenna is a dual-band WiFi omni-directional antenna. It has been created for any WiFi access point and is backward compatible with older technologies.

This antenna has been designed to improve channel saturation and provides better WiFi performance and flexibility. It's perfect for point-to-point links plagued by RF noise and cluttered environments. Get clear signal to your device no matter where it is.

The OMNI-296 is dual-band, covering both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. It has a maximum gain of 6 dBi in the 2.4 GHz band and 7.5 dBi in the 5GHz band, offering great performance and reliable signal. It also covers the 3.5 GHz CBRS band, which makes it future proof for 5G technologies that will be available soon. When these are released, you can expect to get up to 7 dBi.

With a durable high resistant plastic housing, you can set up the OMNI-296 in any situation. It is dust, weather and vandal resistant, as well as acid and other chemicals. This makes it a great choice for industrial applications like warehouses and factories. The antenna comes with a N-Type female connector at its base which can be connected to a cable of the desired type and length.
