2.4 GHz Bridge Antennas
Cisco Aironet bridge antennas allow for extraordinary transmission distances between two or more buildings. Available in directional configurations for point-to-point transmission and omnidirectional configuration for point-to-multipoint implementations, Cisco has a bridge antenna for every application (Table 4).

* All range estimations are based on use of a BR 1310 access point and the same type of antenna at each end of the connection under ideal outdoor conditions. The distances referenced here are approximations and should be used for estimation purposes only.
