E500 Signal propagation (Directional or Omni)

in the data sheet it indicates that the antennas are omni but looking at the casing it takes the shape of a directional *Sector Antenna AP. Does it also propagate signal from the back equivalent to signal propagation from the front and the sides

the antennas on the E500 are Omni.  here's how the antenna patterns look:

the e500 will give very good coverage in the front and back of the access point. There are 4 individual antenna elements inside the unit (two for 2.4GHz and two for 5GHz). These radiating elements are located in the top section of the access point so will do a good job for client devices behind/side/front.
