The Model N2480 Dual Band, MIMO antenna utilizes patented beam forming technology to deliver up to 200 percent greater signal strength and receive sensitivity than conventional dipole solutions.The Model N2480’s superior performance is derived by combining the benefits of three high gain directional antenna elements with high isolation between each beam. This directionality and high isolation improves the SNR in MIMO channels while enhancing channel modes, thereby increasing the range and throughput of WLAN, 802.11n, devices. The Model N2480 supports dual band operation in the 2.4GHz band and the 4.9 to 5.9GHz band and is compatible with existing draft-N systems in 2x3 and 3x3 configurations. The unique design of the Model N2480 also allows for integration inside access points, routers and gateways, eliminating the need for external antennas.
