WiFi antennas

What is a Wi-Fi antenna? 

Wi-Fi antennas are key components in wireless networking systems that enable data to be transmitted over long distances with high performance. Wi-Fi antennas vary in range, directionality and application to optimise networks. On offer Extralink you will find a wide range of Wi-Fi antennas to suit different applications, from domestic to industrial. 

How do I choose the right Wi-Fi antenna? 

Coverage - Depending on your requirements, you can choose antennas with short, medium or long range. 

Directionality - Directional antennas focus the signal in one direction for greater range and efficiency, while omnidirectional antennas distribute the signal evenly in all directions. 

Environment - External antennas must be weatherproof, while internal antennas can be smaller and more discreet. 

Wi-Fi antenna types 

• MMCX antennas  

These are small, compact antennas used primarily in portable devices and space-constrained locations. They are ideal for applications where mounting flexibility and high performance over short distances are required. For example, the antenna Cyberbox Duo Box 13 MMCX is the perfect choice for portable Wi-Fi routers and other network devices, offering a stable connection in a compact form factor. 

• Sector antennas  

They are designed to cover wide areas in outdoor environments such as campuses, parks or shopping centres. They have a high directivity, allowing the signal to be concentrated in a specific sector. Examples include Extralink EXSEC19-60 Sector Antenna, which provides excellent coverage and performance in large outdoor spaces. 

• Wi-Fi antennas  

They are the most versatile and can be used in a variety of applications, both indoor and outdoor. They can range from omnidirectional to directional antennas, depending on specific network needs. For example, an antenna Gigaeter Duo Box 13 MMCX is ideal for use in homes and small offices, providing a stable and fast Wi-Fi connection.
