Pillar- or Wall-Mount Omni Antennas
Designed with the retail market in mind, the pillar-mount
antenna pictured in Figure B-7 comes
from Telex Communications. It was designed to be mounted to a building-structure
pillar or to an inner-building wall. It also works well when placed on an
outside corner of two walls. It has a fabric covering over it, allowing it to
blend into the surrounding environment extremely well. This antenna supports
diversity and is provided with dual-feed cables for the AP.

The specifications listed in Table B-5 for the pillar-mount antenna are similar to
most typical 5.2-dBi antennas.
