LINKSYS HGA7S antenna this is technology of 2004.
LINKSYS this is or was, a division of Cisco systems inc.
I become aware of this magical HGA7S antenna, ten years ago, that I was up to increase range at Bluetooth radios with SMA connector.
HGA7S this is a product of Taiwan.
This item never been priced cheaply.
SMA connector
2.4 ~ 2.5 GHz
This is an item, a product, with an actually inspected and confirmed gain of 7dBi. 8)
LINKSYS designed this accessory so to pair it, with High End WiFi bridge radios, WiFi LAN networking.
Bluetooth radios they also use this antenna bandwidth, and this generated an new application compatibility.
While Bluetooth radios with SMA connector this is a rare find, this is not that rare at industrial electronics. ;)
