FAQs
Q1: What is the RF Elements 90° Asymmetrical Beam Antenna AH90‑CC and what is it used for?
A: The RF Elements 90° Asymmetrical Beam Antenna (AH90‑CC) is a high‑performance outdoor antenna designed for point‑to‑multipoint (PtMP) wireless networks. It delivers broad sector coverage with an asymmetrical signal pattern that enhances connectivity and network reach.
Q2: What does “asymmetrical beam” mean for this antenna?
A: An asymmetrical beam refers to a coverage pattern where the wireless signal is intentionally shaped and directed to focus more strongly in certain directions than others. This helps target coverage where needed while reducing interference outside the key coverage area.
Q3: What does the “90°” specification indicate?
A: The 90° horizontal beamwidth describes the lateral spread of the antenna’s signal across the coverage area. A 90° beam provides wide sector coverage, allowing the antenna to serve many connected devices over an extensive outdoor area.
Q4: Where is the AH90‑CC antenna typically deployed?
A: The AH90‑CC is suitable for wireless ISP base stations, campus wireless sectors, community broadband networks, and fixed‑wireless access installations where wide, reliable sector coverage and controlled signal performance are crucial.
Q5: What physical and environmental features does the AH90‑CC offer?
A: The AH90‑CC is built with a rugged outdoor housing designed to withstand harsh weather and temperature extremes. It supports mast or pole mounting for stable installation and dependable long‑term outdoor wireless performance.
