Page 20: Selecting The Antenna Type
Selecting the antenna type 3.4 Selecting the antenna type The Nokia Rooftop Wireless Router is supplied with an omnidirectional antenna. For very specific cases, however, it may be necessary to use a directional antenna. The following explanations describe the two types of antenna and the special circumstances in which the directional antenna may be used. - Page 21 Directional antennas - radiation pattern side view In Nokia Wireless Router Networks, use a directional antenna only if: • There are numerous obstructions in the area • The nearest router is a considerable distance away • The router is in a location where it does not need to route traffic for other subscribers and itself requires a maximum link distance to the neighboring router.
