Question about aironet 1400 bridge

[nygenxny123]

We are currently trying to set up a link

across the street using 2 bridges. My concern is more of a mounting one and what needs to be visible for the link to work

We are 13 stories up ..and the building across the street is 11 stories up...

We have purches the 9.5 dbi sector antenna. Can I keep the Bridge itself

on the inside and just mounth the antenna

on the outside? While reading the doc, it appeared that the Bridge itself had an antenna

Hi Richard,

The 1400 can be ordered in two models as shown below (with either one the Bridge itself will be mounted outdoors);
