Outdoor external antennas

This section introduces the outdoor external antenna portfolio available for the WLAN Series 2332 Access

Points. The portfolio includes 802.11b/g (2.4 GHz) and 802.11a (5.0 GHz) models for outdoor use. The

addition of outdoor external antennas to the WLAN Series 2332 System portfolio improves overall system

value:

• Improved deployment flexibility - Planners can choose an antenna pattern that meets coverage requirements

while allowing for convenient AP placement and installation.

• Improved coverage and performance - External antennas allow planners to optimize coverage and deliver

higher available data rates to user concentrations.

• Can provide a low cost fix for trouble spots - Appropriately outfitting existing APs with external antennas

can greatly improve coverage and available data rates in areas that are not adequately serviced.

• Lower cost of coverage - External antennas improve overall system efficiency by effectively directing

available energy to where it's needed. This ensures overall system utility is maximized for any installation.

The WLAN Series 2332 outdoor external antennas are the only external antennas certified by for use with

WLAN Series 2332 systems. WLAN Series 2332 Access Points that are outfitted with non-certified outdoor

external antennas are not supported under support agreements.

The WLAN Series 2332 system must be upgraded to WSS Software Release 6.0.6.2 or later and WMS

Software Release 6.0.7.1 or later. This upgrade includes antenna pattern libraries for the WLAN Series 2332

outdoor external antenna portfolio and allows the system to:

• Compensate for extension cable loss and lightning protection circuitry that is essential for operation in an

outdoor environment.

• Correctly interpret received signal strength measurements from APs with external antennas when calculating

rogue device or client location.

The WLAN Series 2332 System outdoor external antenna portfolio is sourced from Cushcraft, a world leader

in the development of advanced antenna technology and products.
