ECO6-5500 (5 GHz WiFi)

6 dBi 5 GHz Wi-Fi Antenna


The ECO6-5500 is a compact 6 dBi omnidirectional antenna for fixed 5 GHz Wi-Fi and broadband equipment.

Key Features

  • Delivers 6 dBi omnidirectional coverage across the 5 GHz band.
  • Expands placement options with a ground-plane-independent design.
  • Durable fiberglass construction protects 5 GHz connectivity at exposed outdoor sites.
  • Simplifies pole installation with an integrated connector and stainless-steel hardware.

Customization: Cable type, cable length, and connectors can be configured for specific installation requirements.

Product Description

Compact 5 GHz Coverage Without a Ground Plane.

The ECO6-5500 is a compact omnidirectional antenna for fixed 5 GHz Wi-Fi and broadband equipment. Its free-space design delivers 6 dBi gain across 5.0–6.0 GHz without relying on a metal ground plane, expanding the available mounting options at a fixed site.

Reliable 5 GHz Coverage: The antenna delivers 6 dBi omnidirectional gain across 5.0–6.0 GHz, distributing signal around the installation point for fixed Wi-Fi and broadband networks.

Flexible Placement Without a Ground Plane: Its free-space design operates without a metal RF ground plane, expanding installation options across poles and suitable structures.

Compact Outdoor Durability: The 10-inch fiberglass radome and IPX5 ingress protection help keep rain and water away from internal components, reducing the risk of outdoor exposure degrading performance.

Straightforward Pole Integration: An integrated N-female connector and supplied stainless-steel mounting saddle connect the antenna to site cabling and poles up to 2 inches in outside diameter.

The ECO6-5500 combines practical placement flexibility, compact construction, and 6 dBi omnidirectional coverage for fixed 5 GHz networks.

Ideal Applications

  • Fixed 5 GHz Wi-Fi networks
  • Broadband access points
  • Fixed wireless radios
  • Outdoor pole-mounted installations
  • Sites without an available RF ground plane
