Chapter 1 Introduction WinLink1000 Installation and Operation Manual
Optional External Antenna
WinLink1000 supports configuration of an external antenna. In this
configuration, the outdoor unit is supplied with an N-type connector
that connects through a coax cable to the external antenna.
An external antenna can extend the range of the link, and in some
cases, may help to reduce environmental interferences. Various
external antennas are available for the WinLink1000 operating
frequencies.
For example, an optional flat panel 28 dBi external antenna increases
the operation range of WinLink1000 up to 80 km (50 miles).
