Proxim understands that deploying a wireless LAN
means not only having the best enterprise-class access
point, but also the right antennas, cables and other
accessories to complete your installation. Proxim offers
a comprehensive range of options to choose from for
a wide range of environments.

The ORiNOCO family of antennas deliver flexible, cost-
effective solutions for extending the range of your
wireless LAN in a variety of situations. For aesthetic or
tamper-prevention reasons, Access Points are often
installed above the ceiling, in closed wiring closets or
must be mounted in obstructed locations to easily
access the Ethernet LAN.  Other installations present
challenges due to the physical layout of the facility,
such as hospitals, universities, airports or other
buildings that have long, narrow corridors. And, for a
few installation types, multipath issues can occur.

The ORiNOCO family of antennas includes both
omnidirectional and directional antennas that can be
used to overcome obstacles by being placed in a
location that optimizes wireless LAN coverage. For
Access Points mounted above ceilings or within wiring
closets, antennas can be brought out to provide

excellent RF coverage. Long, narrow corridors can be
cost-effectively covered by using directional antennas,
which reduces the number of required access points,
translating into significant cost savings. For multipath
environments, a diversity antenna is available. 

ORiNOCO antennas are available in the 2.4 GHz band
for use with 802.11b and 802.11g, 5 GHz band for
use with 802.11a and a dual band antenna for
flexibility as your WLAN installation evolves from the
2.4 to 5 GHz band. Use ORiNOCO antennas as well
for AP-to-AP communication (Wireless Distribution
System) to deliver Wi-Fi connectivity to places that do
not have a structured Ethernet connection. Proxim
offers everything you need to get reliable, robust
wireless access up and running throughout your
facility, no matter the type of installation.
