Outdoor WiFi provides WiFi access outside of buildings, extending internal wireless networks. It is commonly used in outdoor areas of schools, colleges, universities, hospitals, hotels, and shopping centers to give continuous WiFi coverage. Outdoor WiFi operates at 2.4GHz or 5GHz frequencies and can achieve throughput speeds up to 1.7Gbps, depending on the access point and client devices. Access points for outdoor use often have directional antennas to focus coverage on specific areas for stronger, faster connections over greater distances.

1. What is Outdoor WiFi?
Outdoor WiFi is simply when WiFi access is provided
outside of a building. Outdoor WiFi is usually used as an
extension of the internal wireless LAN network of an
organisation, to give users a continuous WiFi service.
Typically scenarios for outdoor WiFi include the outdoor
areas of a school, college, university, holiday park,
hospital, hotel or shopping centre.
Distances, Throughputs & Frequencies
Outdoor WiFi operates in the 2.4 or 5GHz frequency and
can achieve theoretical throughputs of up to 1.7Gbps -
true throughputs depend mainly on client devices and the
quality of the wireless access point. Outdoor APs are often
deployed with “sectored antennas” focusing the wireless
coverage onto a specific area thus providing a stronger
and faster WiFi connection.
