What is the best type of omni directional wi-fi antenna?

Question

I am trying to figure out what is the best type of omni directional antenna for outdoor wi-fi use.

I am gonna be making a hot spot and want to know the best type of omni that will give me the best range and throughput.

I will be using a either a wireless-b or g router for the access point. I know g gives the best possible speed but does the range compare to wireless b at the longer ranges?

Please give as much knowledge as possible.

Thanks

Answer 1

You are way ahead of yourself. The first thing you need to do is a site survey. You need to figure out how much coverage do you want or need (WLAN cell radius). Will the cell cover users just outside or inside as well ? You need to identify holes of coverage due to mulipath, interference and any neighboring WLAN's.

Also as the operating frequency of the increases from 2.4 GHz to 5GHz there is additional path loss. This results in a smaller cell radius. While it is good that you have thought about antenna diversity there are a lot of other factors that you need to consider for optimal performance of your WLAN.

An omni-directional antenna relatively in easy terms passes sign in a slender band in one direction. It would not radiate 360 tiers.and you do no longer double the sign despite if it grow to be. in case you purchase a perfect matched cable there is little loss.
