apogee180mp
Wi-Fi Performance in Harsh Environments
The Apogee 180mp Wi-Fi Platform delivers unparalleled performance, transforming connectivity in even the most challenging environments. Designed to excel in harsh multi-path conditions, it combines advanced technology with effortless plug-and-play simplicity to blanket vast areas with high-quality, reliable Wi-Fi.
Multi-Path Performance
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™
Each Apogee™ 180MP panel generates 9 dBi of passive peak transmit gain across its full 90° beamwidth in both the 5GHz and 2.4GHz bands. With our Hybrid Polarization, the 180MP dynamically leverages both vertical and horizontal polarities, delivering stronger, more reliable connections in multipath and interference-heavy environments.
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.

Coverage in the toughest rf environments
Dual-Polarity Advantage
The Apogee™ 180mp 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 180MP ensures uninterrupted, high-performance Wi-Fi coverage even in the harshest RF conditions.
Asymmetric Gain™ Technology
Apogee™ 180mp patented Asymmetric Gain™ to extend 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™ 180mp delivers 9dBi passive peak transmit gain across a full 90° beam-width in both the 5GHz and 2.4GHz bands. This ensures consistent signal strength across your entire coverage area.
Massive Coverage, Minimal Infrastructure
Each Apogee™ 180mp panel can provide reliable Wi-Fi coverage over large indoor and outdoor areas where multi-path degrades RF signal, 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.
Enhanced MIMO Performance
Designed to optimize the performance of Wi-Fi Access Points, Apogee™ 180mp supports 2×2 MIMO per panel, enhancing the capacity and efficiency of your network. This results in better performance in multi-device environments, with higher data throughput and reduced latency.
2-Panel Phased Array Antenna
- 2 x 90° beam width

Unlock Large Scale Wireless Coverage
01
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.
02
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.
03
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.
04
Multipath performance
Engineered with hybrid-polarity design, the Apogee 360 and 180MP capitalizes on RF signals that deflect and reflect. When one polarity experiences interference, the other maximizes performance, effectively mitigating multi-path fading. This ensures uninterrupted, consistent connectivity across expansive spaces.
