The antenna of the outdoor access point is divided into omnidirectional antenna and directional antenna. Directional antenna belongs to directional area coverage, with limited coverage but long coverage distance, while omnidirectional antenna has 360 ° uniform coverage but close coverage distance.

Therefore, when choosing the best outdoor access point, we must fully understand the actual environment and coverage requirements of the project, whether to use directional antennas, omnidirectional antennas, or a combination.

In outdoor coverage projects, there may be situations where the size of the pole is different. Therefore, when choosing an outdoor AP, it is necessary to choose an outdoor AP that matches the project environment in order to quickly complete the equipment installation.

The outdoor AP installation used in scenic spots, parks, playgrounds, and other scenes is mostly carried out in the form of a pole, and the equipment is heavy. It is recommended to choose a hard and stable installation point.

At the same time, it is not recommended to hang outdoor APs on trees because the equipment is heavy and there is a risk of falling, and branches can also block the propagation of Wi-Fi signals, which can affect coverage.

The recommended installation height is 5 meters, and the spacing between outdoor APs theoretically needs to be greater than 50 meters to ensure wireless coverage.

Due to the use of outdoor pole-mounted AP, it is necessary to plan the outdoor AP points in advance and ensure that the route is in place.
