WiFi Bollard: Convenient Solution for Putting WiFi Outdoors

Reliable WiFi is desired just about everywhere: parks, swimming pools, courtyards, lobbies, parking lots, etc. These locations are difficult for installing WiFi access points because there are neither ceilings nor walls to mount the APs. Sometimes APs are mounted on light or utility poles, but the coverage from these locations is often not what is desired. Exterior walls of buildings are often off-limits for WiFi due to architectural concerns.

Secure & Convenient:

Oberon’s WiFi Bollard

Oberon’s WiFi Bollard is a rugged, standalone mount for indoor- or outdoor-rated access points. The bollard is comprised of a durable weatherproof fiberglass shaft and adjustable interior equipment stand that allows the installer to place and conceal the AP, dipole and panel antennas, power supplies, media converters, cables, and connectors where desired.

The WiFi bollard can be mounted on either a prepared pedestal or anchor base (Model 3030-AB). The internal equipment stand permits the AP and antennas to be mounted at the desired height.

To ensure excellent wireless performance, the fiberglass shaft is virtually transparent to wireless signals.

Aesthetics

The WiFi bollard places the AP and the antenna at an acceptable height above the ground without being conspicuous, and is in a form factor acceptable to many landscape and building architects and property owners.

The bollard color is in the fiberglass resin, so it won’t scratch or chip. The bollard can be painted for camouflage or design.
