Description

The Aironet AIR-ANT2588P3M-N is a dual-band directional patch antenna for Cisco access points and industrial routers with external antenna ports. It covers both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands with 8 dBi peak gain, making it a good fit for outdoor Wi-Fi deployments that need focused coverage, such as campus areas, industrial sites, and point-to-multipoint or mobile and rugged networking.

The antenna is a 3-element dual-polarised patch design with three N-Female bulkhead connectors, so it suits 3-antenna-port (MIMO) access points. It operates across 2400-2500 MHz and 5150-5900 MHz, with a 30 degree elevation and 120 degree azimuth 3-dB beamwidth, a VSWR of 2:1 or less and a 50 Ohm nominal impedance. The enclosure is rated IP67 and operates from -40 to 55 C. It is a passive antenna, so no power is required.

It is intended for Cisco access points and industrial routers with external N-type antenna ports, including Aironet 1560 and 1570 external-antenna models and the Catalyst IR1100 Rugged Series. Check the antenna port count and connector type of your access point before ordering.
