Antennas

The access point includes integrated MIMO antennas for wireless communications.

A MIMO antenna system uses two or more identical antennas to receive and

transmit signals, helping to increase data throughput and range. The antennas

transmit the outgoing signal as a toroidal sphere (doughnut shaped), with the

coverage extending most in a direction perpendicular to the antenna. The antenna

should be adjusted to an angle that provides the appropriate coverage for the

service area.
