Airport base stations use different antennas. The original graphite base station used the Lucent Card that has the antenna built into the card. The next design, the snow base station, and then the one now, the extreme base station, use a dipole antenna that is built into the case. Horizontal mounting is known to better due to the fact that the antenna pattern for all the designs is more like a flat round pattern.
