ANT-D608 vs D100 Antennas

    Posted Jan 11, 2016 10:21 AM

    Hello's

    I'm trying to select an antenna for several AP-274's to cover an outdoor space/client use. The AP's will be mounted approximately 25-30ft up. I'm stuck between the 3x3-D100 and the 3x3-D608 and trying to understand the implications of the 60degree versus 90degree Vertical plane. 

    Can someone please touch on this?

     

    Thanks all,

    Sky.

    The D100 should be your target, the D608 is End of Sale.

     Hi! How do you mean that D608 is end of sale? Is it really true because it is almost new antenna...

    UGH, sorry, the D607 was EoS. Sorry...

     

    So, regarding the two antennas, at 25ft up, the difference between a 60d and 90d vertical plane won't matter much, the difference would be a matter of a few feet and functionally won't matter much, coupled with likely environmental multipath even less so.

    So the main question you have to ask is do you need a horizontally wider, lower gain antenna or a more horizontally narrower, higher gain antenna?
