Trendnet TEW-AO57 Outdoor Dual Band Omni Antenna

Product Description

The TRENDNET TEW-AO57 is an outdoor dual-band omnidirectional antenna designed to extend wireless network coverage in exterior installations. Operating across both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency bands, it delivers 5 dBi gain at 2.4 GHz and 7 dBi gain at 5 GHz. The omnidirectional radiation pattern provides 360-degree horizontal coverage, making it well suited for point-to-multipoint wireless deployments. Network technicians and wireless infrastructure installers typically deploy this antenna with compatible outdoor access points and wireless routers to improve signal range and strength.

The TEW-AO57 is intended for outdoor wireless networking applications including commercial building perimeters, campuses, warehouses, and open-air venues where dual-band coverage is required. It is classified within the wireless access points and routers category, serving installations that require weatherized antenna components. Compatible equipment must support standard antenna connector interfaces as used on outdoor wireless access points and routers.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified network technician or licensed low-voltage contractor familiar with outdoor wireless infrastructure. Power down and disconnect the host access point or router before attaching or removing the antenna. Outdoor installations should follow local building codes and NEC guidelines for exterior low-voltage equipment mounting and weatherproofing of cable entry points. Do not over-tighten antenna connector fittings, as this can damage the connector threads and degrade signal performance.
