Omni vs. Yagi Antenna
ANTENNA TYPES
OMNI ANTENNA
UP
RADIO
ENERGY
RADIO
ENERGY
DOWN
GROUND RADIALS
ANGLED DOWNWARD
The Omni antenna is designed to be usable from any direction (hence its name). As a result, it doesn´t have the
straight-line range of the Yagi, but because it distributes its radio energy in more of a donut shape, be sure you have
the main part is oriented straight up and down, with the feed line at the bottom.
Omni antennas should be used for receiving data from multiple units scattered around the field (point-to-multipoint).
YAGI ANTENNA
DIRECTION OF RADIO
ENERGY
In order to have "Gain,” a Yagi antenna takes its signal strength from all around and points it in one general direction.
This makes the Yagi
"Directional.“ That means that it has to be oriented one particular way so the radio signal is pointed toward the
antenna of the device with which you want to communicate.
Yagi antennas should be used for relaying data to another unit (point-to-point only).
ANTENNA INSTALLATION
Omni Antenna

Position the antenna in the mounting bracket.
Align the antenna so that the metal base is even with or above the top of the mast tubing.
Tighten the mounting bracket until the antenna is secure on the mast.
Connect the antenna cable to the antenna.

Position the antenna in the mounting bracket.
Align the antenna so that the metal base of the mounting bracket is even with or above the top of the mast tubing.
Point the antenna to its corresponding receiver.
Tighten the mounting bracket until the antenna is secure on the mast.
Connect the antenna cable to the antenna.
RSSI & Other Recommendations
BEST PRACTICES
RSSI
To check the RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indication) from incoming Devices, connect the Gateway Configuration
Cable to the Wireless Gateway. Using BreeZ, click on the debug tab at the bottom of the window in the Output section,
it should display incoming RF Packets. If RSSI value is higher than 90 it means that the incoming signal is weak and
you should increase the TX Power to improve signal quality.
EXCELLENT SIGNAL = 40-75 RSSI
GOOD SIGNAL = 75-90 RSSI
POOR SIGNAL = 90-115 RSSI
USING A SPLITTER
- Connect a splitter to the Wireless Gateway.
- Connect the Omni antenna to the 30% side of the splitter and a Yagi antenna to the 70% side of the splitter.
- This will allow the device to receive data from surrounding monitors with the Omni antenna and allow the long range
transmission of data

OTHER RECOMMENDATIONS
- Always weather-proof the cable connection. Failure to do so will degrade the antenna signal over time.
- Lightning Arrestor should be installed outside of the enclosure.
- Antenna should be installed at a height of 15 ft to improve line of sight.
- If using a NEMAX enclosure the hole for the antenna wire or antenna should be made at the bottom of the enclosure to
prevent from water leaks.
- When building a custom antenna cable it is recommend to use LMR400 Coaxial Cable with low dB loss N-Type male

Omni
800 MHz-5.8GHz Antennas
OMNI antenna is ideal For Cell, GsM, PCe, WiFi,
802.11 and Bluetooth wireless applications
Omni antenna is a tough low-profile antenna for outdoor or indoor applications.
Measuring only 2.7” tall, the Omni 800 MHz to 5.8 GHz antenna models’ revolutionary
design features field diversity with both vertical and horizontal polarization components.
This gives the antenna diversity, frequency agility, low visibility, wide bandwidth and a
low angle radiation pattern that is superior to traditional gain antennas in most
applications.
The industry standard NMO mounting socket mates with the magnetic, trunk lid, and hole
mounts. A threaded permanent stud mount model is also available for vandal resistant
mounting on brackets, panels, ceilings or any other kind of housing.
Omni antenna technology is beneficial when high performance is desired and extreme
ruggedness and low profile is required.

FiBerglass Base station antennas Feature industry-leading design
components that perForm in extreme conditions
Fiberglass base station antennas are collinear designs enclosed in a high density fiberglass, which is covered
with a protective ultraviolet inhibiting coating.
The radiating elements are made from high efficiency copper and are carefully phased to provide maximum gain in
the horizontal plane. The mounting sleeves are tuned to eliminate RF currents from the transmission line, resulting
in a “cold” sleeve allowing great freedom in mounting. This high quality and well-focused beam provides the
highest gain and best efficiency.
Features and Benefits:
applications:
• E very FG fiberglass base antenna is tested on a network
analyzer before shipping to assure the best performance.
•O
mnidirectional (circular) outdoor antenna
applications used by private organizations
and government agencies around the globe.
• Special UV Treated - stands up to the sun
•D
urable gold anodized sleeve and cap with
N Female connector
• Custom tuning available
• FedEx / UPS Shippable
• Typical applications include land based and
marine radio and data transmissions for public
safety agencies, commercial organizations, and
the military.
