We have a 2.5 Ghz WiMAX setup right now, that is aging and desperately needs replacement - so we're very interested in cnRanger! Is there an omni antenna option, that we could use purely for getting our feet wet/testing the waters? We have some sites already running with -50V DC power and relatively easy access for cabling/antennas, and the ability to test with a single RF head and antenna (underpowered, we'd upgrade later) would make testing to see if we want to go this way a lot easier.

The cnRanger RRH supports any 3rd party antenna. Cambium however does not have an OEM omni antenna. I'd suggest looking into [KP performance](https://www.kpperformance.com/2-4ghz-13-dbi-dual-pol-h-v-omni-549) and [Alpha antennas](https://alphawireless.com/product/aw3088/).
