Unlocking Large Scale Wi-Fi Coverage
The Apogee™ 180 Wi-Fi Platform redefines connectivity with a powerful solution designed to blanket vast areas with stream quality Wi-Fi, effortlessly. With plug-and-play simplicity, it provides high-performance Wi-Fi over massive spaces—no complex setups, just reliable coverage where you need it most.
Omnidirectional Optimization
The Apogee™ 180 Wi-Fi Platform is engineered for targeted, high-performance Wi-Fi coverage with minimal complexity.
Designed with two 90-degree panels that deliver a full 180-degree beam width, it’s the ideal solution for spacious environments requiring broad, reliable connectivity without the need for extensive infrastructure.
Whether you’re delivering reliable connections for an expansive grocery store parking lot, warehouse, busy loading dock, or an outdoor venue, the Apogee™ 180 is the tool that turns challenging spaces into connectivity strongholds with just a single installation.
Asymmetric Gain™
Apogee's Asymmetric Gain provides wireless devices with up to 24dbi of additional receive gain while keeping transmit gain FCC compliant. This enables very low power devices like smart phones, tablets and even loT sensors to reliably connect over large distances.
Full Beamwidth Gain™
Unlike traditional antennas each Apogee panel generates 9dbi of passive peak transmit gain over its entire 90° beamwidth in both the 5GHz and 2.4GHz bands. Operating together, Apogee 180's 2 panels generate a full 180° of 9dbi passive gain.
Steep, Powered Filters
Apogee features steep, powered filtering for both the 5GHz and 2.4GHz bands. Combined with Apogee's Asymmetric gain, the resulting receive signal is both powerful and quiet.

2-Panel Phased Array Antenna
The Apogee™ 180 sets a new standard for connectivity by leveraging dual polarities combined with the native feature set of Apogee. This innovative design mitigates multi-path fading in environments where signal reflection and deflection are common. The 180 ensures uninterrupted, high-performance Wi-Fi coverage even in the harshest RF conditions.
Connected Devices
Apogee™ 180 patented Asymmetric Gain™ to extends Wi-Fi range and reliability with up to 24dBi additional receive gain, low-power devices like smart phones, tablets and even IoT sensors and Target-Wake-Time (TWT) devices maintain strong connections over vast distances, while transmit gain remains FCC-compliant.
Full Beamwidth Gain
Unlike traditional antennas that concentrate gain in a narrow beam, Apogee™ 180 delivers 9dBi passive peak transmit gain across a full 180° beamwidth in both the 5GHz and 2.4GHz bands. This ensures consistent signal strength across your entire coverage area.
Massive Coverage, Minimal Infrastructure
Each Apogee™ 180 panel can provide reliable Wi-Fi coverage over large indoor and outdoor areas, drastically reducing the number of access points required. This translates to significantly less infrastructure, lowering both capital expenditures (CAPEX) and operational expenditures (OPEX) while maximizing ROI.
Flexible Deployment & Environmental Resilience
Apogee™180 operates effectively in both the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands, making it suitable for a wide range of environments, from urban centers to agricultural fields. Its robust design includes steep powered filters and a broad operating temperature range from -40°C to +60°C, ensuring reliable performance in challenging conditions.
