Product Description

Product Description

GLP2400Z8-08 – 8 dBi 2.4GHz Panel Antenna for Directional Wireless Coverage

The GLP2400Z8-08 is a directional panel antenna optimized for the 2.4GHz WiFi band (2400-2500MHz), providing 8 dBi gain with a consistent 65° horizontal and vertical beamwidth for focused coverage. It features low VSWR (≤2.0), vertical polarization, 50Ω impedance, and supports up to 50W input power with DC ground lightning protection. Built in a compact and rugged housing measuring 150×95×90mm, it includes an SMA female connector (other options available) and is rated for wind speeds up to 60 m/s. Operating from -40°C to +60°C, this antenna is ideal for point-to-point links, outdoor WiFi hotspots, wireless backhaul, and sector-based network deployments requiring reliable, medium-gain directional performance.

Core Applications

Outdoor Wi-Fi Network Bridging and Sector Coverage
Ideal for establishing reliable point-to-point or point-to-multipoint wireless links. With 8dBi gain and a 65° beamwidth, it provides excellent sector coverage for connecting remote buildings, extending network access in campuses, or serving as a client antenna for Wireless ISPs.

Wireless Video Surveillance and Security System Backhaul
A robust solution for transmitting high-bandwidth video feeds from multiple outdoor security cameras to a central monitoring station. The directional nature and high gain ensure a stable, long-range link for critical surveillance infrastructure.

Industrial Wireless Communication for SCADA and Telemetry
Suitable for creating dedicated data links in industrial environments like factories, oil fields, or utilities. The antenna supports reliable communication for SCADA systems, equipment telemetry, and remote control applications where interference immunity is crucial.

FAQ

Q1: Can a WiFi antenna increase internet speed?
A: It can improve signal strength and stability, which may result in higher available speed in areas with weak signals, but it will not increase your plan's maximum bandwidth from your ISP.

Q2: Does a higher dBi mean better performance?
A: Higher dBi generally means more gain and longer range, but it may narrow the signal beam. Choose gain based on your coverage needs—higher isn't always better for all situations.

Q3: Is it safe to use a high-gain WiFi antenna?
A: Yes, WiFi antennas operate within regulated power limits. Ensure your equipment complies with local wireless regulations regarding transmit power and frequency use.

Q4: Will a WiFi antenna interfere with other wireless devices?
A: Properly used WiFi antennas should not cause interference. Directional antennas can actually reduce interference by focusing energy where it's needed.

Q5: Do I need special software or settings to use an external antenna?
A: Usually no software is needed. After physical installation, your device should detect the antenna automatically. You may optimize positioning for best signal.
