the need for asymmetric gain
01
device transmit power limited
The real bottleneck in wireless is not the access point; it is the device. FCC regulations strictly cap how much power client devices can use to transmit. In most cases, they are limited to half the output of an AP, and often far less.
02
getting back to the ap is the problem
Coverage is not defined by how far an antenna can throw signal; it is defined by how far a device can answer. The device becomes a listener, not a participant.
03
lack of connectivity hindering progress
Most of the industry treated device power limits as an immovable constraint. We saw them as an engineering challenge. Rather than layering on more access points to mask the problem, we set out to solve it at its core.
04
the full potential of wi-fi and cbrs
Apogee delivers a groundbreaking 24 dBi receive gain while maintaining an FCC-compliant 9 dBi transmit gain. Devices no longer need more power to connect reliably. They simply work.
proven technology
Asymmetric Gain™ was only the beginning. From there, we advanced the platform with a suite of innovations that together define The Science of Scale™.
Consistent performance across the entire coverage arc, eliminating the edge drop that plagues traditional designs.
Cleanse the RF environment, suppressing co-channel interference and unlocking reliability in harsh industrial and urban deployments.
Dynamically adapts connectivity, ensuring devices stay locked in regardless of orientation or environment.
the science of scale
Apogee™ is the world’s first antenna platform engineered to overcome Wi-Fi’s fundamental limitation: device transmit power. Traditional networks break down because client devices cannot talk back to access points under strict FCC power restrictions. Apogee™ solves this with patented Asymmetric Gain™ technology, delivering 24 dBi receive gain while maintaining FCC-compliant transmit levels.
Yes. Apogee™ is an antenna, not an access point. It connects to any AP with external RF ports and amplifies its performance by extending reliable coverage far beyond what the AP could deliver on its own.
Yes. Apogee™ fully supports 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6/6E) and is backward compatible with 802.11ac (Wi-Fi 5) and 802.11n (Wi-Fi 4).
No. Connecting two APs to a single Apogee™ is not supported and will cause severe performance degradation. Apogee™ is engineered for a one-to-one AP connection.
Via Power over Ethernet (PoE / PoE+) supplied by a network switch or UPS. PoE injectors are not supported.
No. Traditional RF modeling tools are built for symmetrical antennas and will not account for the patented Asymmetric Gain™ of the Apogee™ family. Aura Wireless provides a customized predictive RF modeling tool.
