ANTENNAS

  • AP-214/IAP-214: Three RP-SMA connectors for external dual-band antennas. Internal loss between radio interface and external antenna connectors (due to diplexing circuitry): 1.0 dB in 2.4 GHz and 2.0 dB in 5 GHz.
  • AP-215/IAP-215: Six integrated downtilt omni-directional antennas for 3x3 MIMO with maximum antenna gain of 5.0 dBi in 2.4 GHz and 5.0 dBi in 5 GHz. Built-in antennas are optimized for horizontal ceiling mounted orientation of the AP. Downtilt angle for maximum gain is roughly 30 degrees.
