The OMNI-296 antenna is a dual-band omnidirectional Wi-Fi antenna, developed by Poynting Antennas. The antenna can connect to any Wi-Fi access point, whether it's an older Wi-Fi technology or a new dual-band Wi-Fi technology. The antenna can therefore be used to solve channel saturation and provide maximum Wi-Fi performance and flexibility. This means the antenna can also be used for point-to-point links where there is an abundance of RF noise and cluttered environments.
The antenna operates in the two Wi-Fi frequency bands (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz), offering excellent utilization of the radio spectrum.

The antenna has a maximum gain of 6dBi in the 2.4GHz band and 7.5dBi in the 5GHz band, which offers the best performance with reliable connections. It also covers the 3.5 GHz CBRS band, which will be used for future 5G technologies with a peak gain of 7dBi. The housing is made of ABS, a high-impact resistant plastic and is also resistant to acids and other chemicals that may occur in industrial plants. It has an N-type female connector at its base which can be connected to a cable of the desired type and length.
