The WL-575 bridge also provides various external antenna options for both 5 GHz
and 2.4 GHz operation. In a point-to-multipoint configuration, an external
high-gain omnidirectional, sector, or high-gain panel antenna can be attached to
communicate with bridges spread over a wide area. The bridge requires a
2.4 GHz external antenna for 802.11b/g operation. The following table
