Stable WiFi Outdoors: The Interline HORIZON 9 Omnidirectional Antenna
With the Interline HORIZON 9, you reliably extend your 2.4 GHz WiFi Network to outdoor areas. Whether you want to supply a large business premises, a parking lot, or a campsite – this 2.4 GHz Omni-Directional Antenna with Lightning Protection for Access Point is designed for professional and permanent use. It precisely bundles the signal with a gain of 9 dBi horizontally, ensuring maximum area coverage without wasting valuable transmission power into the sky or directly under the Antenna.
Built for Eternity: Weatherproof and Robust
The housing of the HORIZON 9 is made of solid, UV-resistant fiberglass. This choice of material makes the Antenna impervious to extreme weather conditions from -40°C to 80°C, be it heavy rain, intense solar radiation, or salty air near the coast. The high protection rating of IP64 (dust-tight and protected against splash water from all sides) guarantees that the sensitive technology inside is always securely protected.
Clear Connection Without Interference
In today's world, frequency bands are crowded. The HORIZON 9 solves this problem with a special narrowband design. An integrated bandpass filter effectively blocks interference signals from adjacent frequencies such as GSM, 3G, 4G, and 4G. The result is a significantly more stable and reliable WiFi connection, even in environments with high Network density. The WiFi Antenna with long range for business premises illumination is therefore the ideal choice for demanding scenarios.
Strengths & Notes at a Glance
- Pro: The robust fiberglass housing offers excellent protection against weather, UV radiation, and saltwater for maximum lifespan, a key feature for durable WiFi Antennas.
- Pro: The integrated bandpass filter effectively suppresses interference signals from mobile networks and ensures a stable WiFi connection.
- Pro: DC grounding protects connected devices such as WiFi Routers or WiFi Access Points from damage due to static charge during thunderstorms, providing essential Lightning Protection.
- Pro: The 360°/15° radiation characteristic is optimal for targeted illumination of flat, extensive areas.
- Note: A separate Coaxial Cable with an N-connector is required for connection, as the Antenna features a professional N-jack. Consider our Antenna Cables for optimal performance.
- Note: The narrow vertical beam angle is ideal for flat areas, but in very hilly terrain, coverage gaps may occur.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can I connect this antenna directly to my normal home WiFi Router?
Generally not directly. The Interline HORIZON 9 uses a professional N-connector. Most home WiFi Routers have RP-SMA connectors. You will need a suitable adapter cable (Pigtail) or a Coaxial Cable with an N-connector on one side and the appropriate connector for your Router on the other side.
What does an antenna gain of 9dBi mean in practice?
A gain of 9dBi means that the antenna strongly bundles the signal in the horizontal plane, thus achieving a significantly higher range than standard Antennas with 2-3 dBi. It enables coverage of large, open areas such as parking lots or gardens from a central position.
Does the antenna need to be aligned exactly vertically during installation?
Yes, an exactly vertical mounting is crucial. Due to the narrow vertical beamwidth of only 15°, tilting the antenna would cause the signal to radiate too strongly into the ground or into the sky, drastically reducing the range on the ground.
What is the advantage of the 'DC-Ground' feature?
DC-Ground means that the internal elements of the Antenna are grounded. This protects connected devices like WiFi Access Points from electrostatic charges that can build up during wind or thunderstorms, thereby reducing the risk of hardware damage.
Is the antenna suitable for use in areas with many other WiFi Networks?
Yes, it is well suited for this. Its design is engineered to provide stable performance in high Network density environments. The integrated filter helps minimize interference from external Networks and other radio sources.
Which Accessories are absolutely necessary for installation?
You will need a mast with a diameter between 38 and 51 mm for mounting. Additionally, a weatherproof, low-loss Coaxial Cable with an N-connector is essential for connecting to the WiFi Access Point or Router. This Cabling is not included in the scope of delivery.
