The HAO15SIP Hi-Gain Outdoor 15dBi Omni-Directional Antenna Kit is a heavy-duty, weather proof, high powered antenna for extending the range of your 802.11b and 802.11g WiFi devices. Whether your application requires extending a wireless signal from one building to another or simply from one end of a house to the other, the Hi-Gain Directional Antenna Kit from Hawking is the perfect solution. The power rating of WiFi antennas is measured in terms of decibels (dBi). The HAO15SIP boosts the antenna power of standard antennas from a minimal 2dBi to a staggering 15dBi. This results in extended wireless distances of up to 2 miles. Whether extending the wireless network from one corporate building to another, or simply from the front house to the back house, the Outdoor Antenna Kits provide wireless users with a high powered solution to extend their wireless network.The Outdoor Omni-Directional Antenna emits a powerful amplified signal over a 360 degree radius, delivering a strong multi-direction signal from an Access Point or a Bridge. If you have multiple locations or buildings where you would like to integrate your wireless network, simply place the HAO15SIP in between the buildings with your Access Point. It is most effective when placed at the top of buildings or in the center of large rooms. The HAO15SIP also comes with a mounting kit, connectors, and a surge protector.Installation of the HAO15SIP is simple and straight forward. It is compatible with most wireless devices (Access Points, Routers, Bridges and Network Adapters) on the market with removable external antennas. The Hawking Antenna comes equipped with N-Type, RP-SMA, RP-TNC connectors to support a wide range of wireless devices.

Customer Rating:
Summary: Works.
Comment: Pricey but great build quality and mounting hardware. Does what it's supposed to. I've measured sizable signal increases throughout the network. I have it roof mounted which seems to be where these things work best. The only negative was that it comes with a lightning protector that is useless without buying another pricey cable. They could have simply included a short jumper to attach to outdoor radios. Hawking doesn't even sell a cable to do this under 10 feet long. You really only need about a foot if your radio is near the antenna.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Very disappointing performance
Comment: I installed this antenna at a motel/cabin facility, and was INCREDIBLY disappointed in the performance (it was coupled with the 30-foot low-loss LMR400 cable from Hawking). it did not appreciably increase range over the 6.5dbi antenna that I had previously installed. This may have been a combination of differing elevations and building locations that affected performance, but this antenna is definitely not the panacea that I assumed it would be.
I'm pretty experienced with wireless installations and understand the mitigating factors that can kick in, but I've done far more complex installations of directional antennas that didn't suffer from use of long-lengths of LMR400. I can only surmise that the projection area of the antenna is not nearly as large vertically as I assumed it would be. Maybe it will work better for your situation, but it definitely did NOT have the performance that I would have expected.
