300-Mbps outdoor wireless links from LANCOM
Complete package including an antenna, lightning protection, fundamental literature and wireless-link calculation tool
Aachen, April 17, 2008 - Outdoor wireless LAN links are now many times faster with the new high-performance outdoor antenna LANCOM AirLancer Extender O-D9a and the new 11n access point LANCOM L 310agn.
In combination with the 11n access point L-310agn, the O-D9a uses horizontally and vertically polarized waves at the same frequency for independent transmission paths and double the data rates. Employing the new patch antenna with a 9° directional beam and 23-dBi gain allows P2P outdoor wireless LAN links in the 5-GHz band (IEEE 802.11a) to yield data transfer rates of up to 300 Mbps (gross) and ranges of up to 20 km.
The lightning protection adapter AirLancer Extender SA-5L reduces the current surges that can occur even if outdoor lightning-protection equipment is installed. For example, partial discharges are capable of damaging the sensitive wireless LAN modules in access points. Through extensive research and development in cooperation with the RWTH Aachen university, LANCOM Systems was able to improve the level of protection against partial discharge compared to that available from standard protective adapters. The use of the AirLancer Extender SA-5L as a central component for lightning-protection systems is necessary for all outdoor installations.

Under the same link you will find the Antenna Distance Calculator: This is an interactive tool that enables the range and data throughput of an installation to be estimated in advance and to calculate the required heights of masts and mountings.
The outdoor antenna LANCOM AirLancer Extender O-D9a is available as of the end of April for 549 Euro (excl. VAT). The AirLancer Extender SA-5L current surge protector is available now at 105 Euro (excl. VAT).
