Whats the best antenna for my application?
Books, nay dissertations, have been written about this. In general, an omni is always nice for an access point. Every situation is unique – you need to consider that you are dealing with two way communication devices, so your throughput will be limited by your weakest link. If you are trying to connect from a centralized location in an office, a stout omni is a good place to start (we have 2 dbi, 5 dbi, 8 dbi and 15 dbi omnis suitable for indoor use). If you are a WISP and are trying to connect to customers over some distance, through varied terrain, trees, buildings, etc. you will have to consider how many subscribers/clients you are attempting to connect, in what direction, through which obstacles. If you are working with fairly short distances and no interference, our 8 dbi omni or 15 dbi omni may be sufficient. If you are in a difficult environment, you may wish to look at sectorized omnis, or break your coverage into zones covered with yagis, patches or panels on different channel
