LevelOne 15dBi 2.4GHz Directional Dual-Polarization Panel Antenna, Indoor/Outdoor

The LevelOne WAN-7151 is a directional dual-polarization antenna for 2.4 GHz IEEE 802.11b/g/n wireless applications. With 15 dBi gain and a weatherproof enclosure, it can be installed indoors or outdoors to extend point-to-point coverage and improve signal strength and range.

Advantages

Dual-polarization enables two independent communication channels to receive simultaneously, reducing interference and improving link reliability. Directional operation with 15 dBi gain provides extended point-to-point coverage while the antenna's low wind loading and rugged housing support outdoor installation in rain, snow and dust. The operating temperature range from -30°C to 60°C ensures stable performance in varied climates.

Key specifications

• Gain: 15 dBi
• Frequency: 2.4 GHz (IEEE 802.11b/g/n)
• Connectors: 2 x N
• Impedance: 50 Ohm
• VSWR: 2.0
• Weight: 904 g
• Polarization: Dual-polarization
• Operating temperature: -30°C to 60°C

How to use

Mount the antenna on a suitable mast or bracket oriented toward the target point for directional coverage. Connect both N-type connectors to the corresponding radio or access point ports using compatible coaxial cables. Ensure connectors are tightened and, for outdoor installations, seal connections to prevent moisture ingress. Align the antenna for best signal and secure mounts against wind load.

Recommendations

For optimal performance in outdoor links, use low-loss coaxial cable, verify polarization alignment between endpoints, and periodically inspect seals and mounts after severe weather.
