Router Antennas Overview
WiFi Antenna
The Connected Grid 4GE LTE WiFi antenna kit (optional) includes the following items:
•
•
The WiFi antenna provides connectivity to the router internal short-range access point.
The short-range access point enables a WiFi link so users can connect to the router from anywhere within
WiFi range. For example, a technician can check the status of the router from outside the substation or
utility cabinet by connecting to the router over the WiFi link.
