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.
