Antenna Alignment Utility
The wireless bridge is usually used to connect two separate LANs via the radio link
with a directional antenna to extend the distance between two wireless bridges.
Sometimes the distance between two LANs might be several kilometers. Owing to
the nature of the directional antenna, the higher the antenna gain is, the narrower the
angle of the wave propagation will be. In order to achieve the best radio performance
of wireless outdoor bridge, the antenna alignment utility is developed to help the
technician in easily installing the antenna as well as achieving the best radio
performance.
