Directional Interference Detection
Unlike omnidirectional antennas that receive signals from all directions, the OSC2100 employs a focused beam pattern for precision interference hunting. Engineers align the antenna's Oscium logo toward suspected interference sources to achieve maximum directional sensitivity. This technique significantly reduces false positives from background RF noise while amplifying signals from the target direction.
WiFi 6E/7 Compatibility
The OSC2100's tri-band design ensures compatibility with legacy and next-generation wireless standards. Coverage extends across the new 6 GHz WiFi 6E spectrum (5.925-7.125 GHz) in addition to traditional 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands. This future-proofs the antenna for emerging WiFi 7 deployments utilising 320 MHz channel bonding.
