Description
Laird ES58-17 – 5.8 GHz 17 dBi Echo Series Directional Backfire Antenna (Clearance Stock)
The ES58-17 from Laird Technologies (TE Connectivity) is part of the Echo Series®, delivering exceptional high-gain performance in a low-profile, weather-resistant package. Operating in the 5.725–5.85 GHz band, this directional backfire/panel antenna provides 17 dBi gain with a narrow beamwidth for superior range and signal focus—perfect for extending wireless coverage in point-to-point bridges, client-site backhaul, or remote industrial applications.
Key features include:
- Frequency range: 5.725–5.85 GHz (optimized for 5 GHz Wi-Fi, unlicensed ISM, or WiMAX links).
- Gain: 17 dBi with excellent front-to-back ratio and low VSWR for efficient, interference-resistant performance.
- Connector: Integrated N-female (no pigtail in base model; some variants may include mounting hardware).
- Directional design: Focused beam (typically ~25° horizontal) ideal for targeted links to distant sites, reducing noise and improving throughput.
- Rugged build: Aluminum alloy construction with powder-coat finish; low visual impact and durable for outdoor/pole/wall mounting in harsh conditions (industrial, agriculture, water utilities, transportation).
- Compact size: Approximately 10″ x 2.5″ dimensions—easy to deploy without excessive wind load.
- Applications: Long-range wireless data transmission, SCADA/telemetry extensions, Wi-Fi bridging, remote monitoring.
