Antennas

Every wireless LAN deployment is different. When engineering an in-building solution, varying facility sizes, construction materials, and interior divisions raise transmission and multipath considerations. When implementing a building-to-building solution, distance, physical obstructions between facilities, and number of transmission points must be taken into account. Cisco is committed to providing the best access points, client adapters, and bridges in the industry-and is also committed to providing a complete solution for any wireless LAN deployment. Cisco has the widest range of antennas, cable, and accessories available from any wireless manufacturer. Cisco offers a complete range of 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz antennas for access point and bridge equipment that enable a customized wireless solution for almost any installation.

The antenna is a ruggedized high-performance colinear antenna that operates in the 5-GHz frequency range and is designed for use in large rooms or vaulted areas where extended coverage is needed. The antenna is designed to be used indoors or outdoors and can be mounted on a mast.

This antenna is designed for indoor use with any GHz Cisco Aironet radio device that uses a RP-TNC connector. You can mount this antenna outdoors also. If you mount the antenna outdoors, you must provide the mounting hardware. For outdoor installations, follow the instructions printed on the back of the antenna.
