Increase Wi-Fi Range at your Campground & RV Park.  Instantly expand your Wi-Fi range for guest access. 

Replacing or upgrading your old openmesh wireless network has never been easier.   This 2.4GHz antenna package will expand your wireless network for up to 500ft. (300ft. recommended) within a 120-180 degree area.  Ships pre-configured for plug-n-play.

What’s included in this Outdoor 802.11N Wireless Hotspot Equipment package:

1x Outdoor, 2.4 GHz Weatherproof, 802.11N, 250mW, 300Mbps Access Point
1x 16dBi, 2.4GHz, Dual Polarized 120º Sectorized Panel Antenna (N-Female)
1x POE/PS (Power-over-Ethernet)
1x Pole Mount Hardware for 1-2.5″ OD mast
1x 25ft. Cat5e Ethernet cable
1x Inline Surge Arrestor (RF45/RJ45)
2x RPSMA-Male to RPSMA-Male Coaxial Pigtail Cable

This Outdoor 802.11N Wireless Hotspot Equipment is designed for coverage in 1 direction and operates at 2.4GHz only.  If you prefer the faster, dual band coverage to support 5GHz, 802.11AC, please upgrade to the GNS-1485-AC. 

Using a sectorized panel antenna provides longer range, and better signal within the 120 degree area.  We use this package when the main office is located at one end of the park, and you only need coverage in 1 direction.  This package also reduces interference from neighboring Wi-Fi systems in the area.   If your application requires 360 degree coverage, (broadcasting a signal in all directions), and you want the strongest signal possible, purchase 3 of the GNS-1485 packages, which will create a high power, long range, wireless hotspot.  This will allow you to mount 3 antennas, and 3 connected access points on the same pole, each pointing in a different direction for maximum range.  Contact us for more information.

The GNS-1485 hotspot equipment package is customized for owners who are looking to add Wi-Fi to their location, where speed and reliability is equally important. This package, although cost effective, can be the basis of your Wireless Hotspot if you plan to expand the Wireless Network in the future, either by extending the range, or by increasing the # of available clients connected to the network.  This Outdoor 802.11N Wireless Hotspot Equipment package greatly extends the wireless network in one direction, of 120 Degrees.  120º sector antenna extends range, reduces interference, and allows maximum coverage of your outdoor wireless network.  External Signal LED’s will assist with alignment and troubleshooting procedures. Maximum distance Access Point can be placed away from your router is 250ft. (Shielded cat5e is recommended).  There is a 1 year warranty on all items, which includes lifetime technical support.

Installation:
This Outdoor 802.11N Wireless Hotspot Equipment can ship pre-configured for “out of the box” installation.  Please contact us for details. The included access point is enclosed in a outdoor, weatherproof enclosure, enabling you to mount it outside next to the included antenna(s). The AP is powered via a POE injector, which is included. We recommend using sheilded cat5e cables when connecting to this device. Pole mount hardware is also included for both the AP and Antennas. The Access Point has web based configuration, meaning that the default IP address will allow you to manage the settings. SSID, Security type/phrase, power settings, and network settings can be changed using this IP address.

Basic Description:
This 802.11B/G/N Wi-Fi Hotspot includes a high gain 16dBi, 120º, sectorized panel antenna that operates at 2.4GHz.  The pole mount hardware, POE injector, and power supply are included. This Wi-Fi Hotspot will enable you to broadcast a Wi-Fi signal up to 1000ft., assuming clear, unobstructed line of sight to your end user. With the built in amplifier, maximum power of 250mW will help to reach extended areas, or applications which have more obstructions. Because the outdoor access point can be installed outdoors, it is recommend to position the access point on the same pole as the sector antenna.  Keeping it in close proximity of the antenna will maximize signal and reliability.  The included coaxial cable will allow you to mount the access point directly behind the sectorized antenna for maximum range, and ease of installation.  If you feel you need longer coaxial cable, please contact us.   This wireless hotspot package will allow you to reach RV’s, Campers, or boat slips that are 1000ft. away, with minimal obstruction. If you have a particular applicationi you would like to discuss, please contact us anytime.

Connection to Network:
To connect the access point to your network a single Cat5 Ethernet cable is used. A 25ft. cable is included for this hotspot package. (If you need more cable, a maximum length of up to 250ft. can be used) The Cat5 Ethernet cable connects directly from the outdoor access point using a weatherproof grommet, to an indoor POE (Power-over-Ethernet) injector. The POE injector plugs into a standard AC outlet for power, and another Cat5 Ethernet cable connects from the POE injector to your network (Router/PC/Switch etc.)º
