2.6.4 Installing Outdoor Antennas

Two types of outdoor antennas are available: directional outdoor antenna and omnidirectional

outdoor antenna. Omnidirectional antennas can be directly installed on APs.

Installing a directional outdoor antenna against a pole

Pay attention to the following points when installing a directional antenna:

1. An outdoor antenna must be installed on a pole with a diameter of 30 mm to 50 mm and

the thickness must be at least 2.5 mm. A 50 mm diameter pole made of round steel is usually

used.

2. Weld the lightning rod on the top of the antenna pole.

3. Install the antenna pole on a parapet or concrete bed on the roof of the building.

4. Use a 40 mm x 4 mm flat steel to connect the antenna pole to an earth mat.

5. Secure the directional outdoor antenna on the pole with an antenna support.

6. Keep the pole vertical to the ground during the installation.
