Wireless – WiFi Parabolic Grid – Dish Antenna – 24dB – 2.4 GHz

$179.95

RadioLabs’ 24dB Parabolic Grid antennas, are a highly directional, 2.4 GHz antenna, which focuses the signal and reflects the power off of the dish, creating very high power in a highly directional beamwidth. You can think of the radio signal beam of a high gain parabolic dish / grid antenna as shining a high power flashlight directly at your target. The higher the parabolic grid’s gain, the narrower the beam. The 24dB Grid antenna, is a simple, tested and excellent light weight design, now made out of aluminum and powder coated for years of use. 2-piece dish assembles in minutes, includes all hardware and pieces for assembly.

Description

WiFi Parabolic Antenna – Wireless Grid – 24dB at 2.4 GHz

Parabolic grid / dish antennas, are an incredibly high gain, powerful, highly directional WiFi antenna, which works as a focused reflector and director at the same time. Our original Parabolic Grid antennas, were originally like a BBQ grill, and we often joked that you could cook a hamburger on them. Today’s design, uses a cast molded aluminum, 2-part reflector and they will not rust, corrode or deform.

This parabolic WiFi grid antenna, consists of a Dipole transmitter/receiver element and a parabola reflector. A small dipole element is the main driven antenna, and transmits / receives a signal by critical spacing and focusing that signal at a very critical point in front of the Dish, similar to frying bugs on a sidewalk with a magnifying glass. This highly focused grid array, the shape of the parabola and the designs vary greatly, but even the curvature of the dish itself can result in either an excellent, directional antenna with good characteristics, or a horrific nightmare of an antenna, that doesn’t perform, lousy hardware, bad design and less than half of the gain advertised.

At RadioLabs, we physically test and know every product we design, manufacture and sell to the world. Our antennas are physically tested on a “Standards” antenna and gain measurements taken from the antenna itself. We will never sell anything which does not perform and make it through our standards testing. This includes everything from our high power commercial Omni WiFi Antennas, to these excellent Parabolic WiFi Antennas.

24db Directional Parabolic Grid WiFi Antenna

This Directional High Gain WiFi Parabolic Grid antenna, offers 24dBi of forward transmitter gain and a tight 8 Degree beamwidth. The high gain wifi antenna is an aluminum die cast which is then powder coat painted for added environmental protection. Because of its grid design the antenna offers excellent wind loading characteristics.

The durable wireless antenna is constructed of 2 separate die cast aluminum pieces which are assembled together during installation. This saves significant money in shipping costs because the shipping size is much less than other types of 24dBi antenna systems.

The antenna comes complete with the die cast grid, dipole(feed) and heavy duty mounting bracket with stainless steel hardware for up to 2 inch diameter poles. The bracket gives up to 45 degrees of tilt angle. The antennas can be installed in Vertical or Horizontal Polarization.

Note: This parabolic grid WiFi antenna comes with your choice of the following connectors:

  • N-Female – The N Female connector has threads on the outside and a center socket.
  • N-Male – The N Male connector has threads on the inside and a center pin. N Male connectors can connect directly to outdoor radio equipment with N Female antenna ports.
  • RPSMA – The RPSMA Male connector has threads on the inside and a center socket.
  • Integrated N Female – The integrated dipole has an N Female connector mounted directly to the dipole (feed). There is no pigtail on this model.

BackFire Wifi Antenna- The backfire antenna has very good gain for such a small antenna. Performance on 2.4 GHz is excellent!! The 2.4 backfire is the antenna we recommend for extended wireless coverage or building to building links.

Flat Panel Directional WiFi Antenna 19dBi – 2.4 Ghz

$79.95

RadioLabs – WiFi Flat Panel antennas, are an extremely low profile, high gain wireless antenna, allowing very high gain in a very moderately sized array. Similar in comparison and gain to a Parabolic, The only reason why these antennas are physically possible, is because this antenna operates in the 2.4 GHz frequency range. The Flat Panel design, allows extremely high gain in an antenna that’s not only thin, but has excellent reception and transmission. A whopping 19 dB gain is achieved on both the transmit and the receive side and unlike a WiFi Parabolic Grid antenna,. Take for instance this 19 dB, high gain Panel. If this antenna was designed for the much lower frequency FM Radio broadcast band for example, the wavelength is so long, that this antenna would be approximately 36 foot tall and 36 ft wide.
The 19dB WiFi Panel antenna, is one of RadioLabs engineer’s favorite antennas for size, performance and huge forward gain, excellent characteristics and can be used with excellent success on the majority of WiFi Bridge, Client and even AP links.

RadioLabs WiFi Antenna Cable

RadioLabs’ Custom made Coaxial cable is one of the most important, and often overlooked aspects of any WiFi installation. RadioLabs RL-400 cable, combined with the connector you need, provide the ultimate in low-loss WiFi for 2.4 or the “lossy” 5-6 Ghz band. RadioLabs’ technicians, cut, solder and crimp your coaxial cable, solder, then use high end hydraulic crimp tooling, along with heat shrink, to the exact length you require. Our low-loss cable, is 0.400″ diameter for the lowest loss cable in the industry. Identify the connector you need, or ask for assistance if required. All RadioLabs’ coax cables will have an N Male connector on one end, unless you call to specify a custom connector on that end. We have built hundreds of thousands of feet of WiFi cable over the years, to our customer’s requirements. Ask for volume pricing.
