LXE

Spire Antenna

> > > > Spire Omni-directional Antenna

Increased Coverage, Superior Performance
Based on technology originally designed for space applications, LXE's Spire^® omni directional antenna increases the coverage, performance and reliability of 2.4 GHz wireless LANs. The LXE Spire^® Antenna's patented design provides improved coverage pattern, both horizontally and vertically - which results in a larger footprint throughput and superior performance in multipath environments.

Cost Effective
Installations with the LXE Spire^® Antenna require fewer access points. Fewer access points leads to reduced power and data cabling requirements and less ongoing maintenance and management. The result is a more cost effective and efficient wireless network.

By increasing the coverage by around 25-50% the LXE Spire^® Antenna makes 2.4 GHz technology a viable option for many more applications, such as ports and large distribution centers and warehouses, where previously only Narrow Band RF technology was suitable.

Adaptable
The LXE Spire^® omni-directional antenna comes in both high and medium gain configurations and can be paired with a number of accessories - radome for outdoor use, plenum-rated ceiling enclosures for in-ceiling applications - to meet your specific installation requirements.
