You'd also have similar gain with two 90 degree antennas and a splitter.

Hmm... that's interesting, but only 13dbi and only 11db f/b ratio. I
don't really see much advantage over just using an omni.

We have been looking at these for similar situations, but haven’t
pulled the trigger on any and tried them as of yet. We’d be
interested to know if anyone else has tried them. Only 13 dBi gain,
otherwise we’d be more excited about them.

I haven't ever found anything wider than 120 degrees... A 180 would
come in handy in a lot of places.

Easy to make a shield for it...Solectek used shields for 60,90 and

is there such a beast as this?
I have a couple locations where i need better downtilt for near
customers, under half mile. Theyre right in the middle of towns and
i have room for maybe 2 more access points or id just roll out 4
more epmp lites.
one site we just redid had two 90 epmp sectors, a bunch of side and
backlobe installs, a maess. we went out and replaced with 4 90 empm
2000 sectors with appropriate tilt for our 8 mile coverage, but it
killed alot of existing subscribers (one of the APs was at 10
degrees downtilt, dont ask why, i didnt know it.
This site we only can do two more and the customers are all over 360
degrees in town. i have room to do 4 force 180 in AP mode, but the
freezing and lack of gps will irritate me.
Avaluable learned lesson in this is to not toss up a couple APs to
serve a particular set of customers because ultimately youll need a
right proper deployment and have no choice but to shed some edge
customers
