OMNI-498 Poynting Antenna.

Overview

The OMNI-498 is a dual-band WiFi omni-directional antenna for marine & coastal deployments. The antenna provides dual-band WiFi coverage in the 2.4 GHz and 4.9 to 7.2 GHz bands, making it ideal for any WiFi access point, whether it is older WiFi technology or new technology that goes up to WiFi 6E (7.2 GHz). The antenna offers 2x2 MIMO capability from its vertically separated radiating elements, allowing for true omni-directional coverage suitable for marine and coastal applications.

The OMNI-498 is purpose-built for harsh environments with an IP 68 protection rating against dust and water ingress, with the antenna being foam-filled, making it ideal for the most severe storms at sea. The radome is fully saltwater protected, so it can be used in highly corrosive environments, thanks to the UV-stable ASA radome material.

Article - IP Ratings Explained, by Daniel Coombs

Article: IP Ratings Explained

IP ratings, or Ingress Protection ratings, are a standardised benchmark of how capable a product is of withstanding ingress from foreign entities that could negatively impact its functionality. They’re helpful because terms like ‘weatherproof’ and ‘waterproof’ are unspecific terms and don’t always convey the necessary level of detail.
