The Allnet ANT-24-2T2R-PATCH-385 is a
Flat-Patch Antenna for use in the 2400–2500 MHz ISM band, specifically designed for
MIMO systems with 2 transmit and 2 receive elements (2T2R). It is used for wireless data transmission in the 2.4 GHz frequency range and is designed for
outdoor use. The antenna features a
directional characteristic, enabling targeted radiation within a narrow angle to maximize signal range in a specific direction.
Applications
The antenna is suitable for wireless networks in outdoor environments, particularly in industrial, infrastructural, or agricultural applications where a stable, directional connection over long distances is required. Typical use cases include connecting buildings, providing WLAN coverage in outdoor areas, or integrating into outdoor access points. The
IP67 protection rating ensures dust-tight and water-resistant enclosure, allowing the antenna to operate even under harsh weather conditions.
Functions and Features in Detail
The antenna has a
gain of 2x 12 dBi at 2.4 GHz, meaning a significant amplification of received and transmitted signals. The
radiation angles are 15° horizontal and 25° vertical, enabling focused radiation in a specific direction and minimizing interference in other directions. The
connection is made via an
N-type female connector, suitable for robust, weather-resistant connections in outdoor environments. Mounting is done on a mast, with the antenna designed to withstand
wind loads of approximately 160 km/h, ensuring secure fastening even in strong winds.
Technology Explained Simply
The
Flat-Patch technology enables a flat, compact design that fits well on mounting surfaces. The
MIMO function (Multiple Input Multiple Output) uses multiple antenna elements to improve data rate and signal quality, especially under high data loads. The
directional antenna property ensures the signal is radiated precisely in a specific direction, increasing range and reducing interference. The
IP67 protection rating means the housing is dust-tight and can withstand short-term water exposure such as splashing or rain, making it suitable for outdoor use.
Compatibility and Accessories
The antenna is compatible with devices supporting an N-type connector and operating in the 2.4 GHz band. As accessories,
antenna cables LMR-195 with N-type connectors are available in lengths of 150 cm, 300 cm, and 500 cm, as well as an
antenna adapter N-type plug (m) to N-type plug (m), which is helpful when connecting cables or devices with different connectors. These components enable flexible and secure cabling in outdoor environments.
Mounting and Installation
Mounting is done on a mast, with the antenna designed for secure fastening under wind loads up to 160 km/h. The flat design facilitates mounting on vertical surfaces. Cabling is done via the N-type connector system, and the use of shielded cables such as LMR-195 is recommended to minimize signal loss. Installation does not require special tools, but secure fastening and correct alignment of the antenna in the desired direction are crucial for performance.
Operational Advantages
The antenna provides high signal stability and range in a specific direction, making it ideal for point-to-point connections. The IP67 protection rating and robust construction ensure long service life even under adverse environmental conditions. The MIMO function improves data transmission rate and signal quality, especially in environments with high data traffic. The flat design and mast mounting allow flexible installation at various locations.
