Description

The Catalyst 9104 Stadium Antenna is an eight-port, polarization-diverse, ultra-low-sidelobe directional patch array for 2.4 GHz and dual 5 GHz Wi-Fi. It is built for stadiums, arenas and other large public venues where high-density, sectorised coverage is needed, and it suits wall or pole mounting.

This variant is a dual-band 2.4/5 GHz MIMO antenna with an 8-port DART connection and Self ID, so it identifies itself to the host access point. 6 GHz is not supported. At 2.4 GHz it delivers 6 dBi peak gain with a 70 x 70 degree beamwidth. At 5 GHz the beamwidth is software-switchable between a wide beam (7 dBi, 80 x 25 degrees) and a narrow beam (10 dBi, 25 x 25 degrees), with narrow-beam steering to boresight, 10 and 20 degrees off-centre. One radio can run a wide beam while the other runs a narrow beam. The antenna is IP65 rated and operates from -20 to 60 C without solar loading.

It connects to the octal DART port on a Catalyst 9130AXE access point and is powered and controlled through that AP. The advanced beam-selection parameters are configured in the radio profile on a Catalyst 9800 wireless controller.

Enquire with XS Network Tech for new or used pricing and availability.

Features

- Software-controlled, electronically switchable 5 GHz beamwidth: narrow 25 x 25 degrees at 10 dBi or wide 80 x 25 degrees at 7 dBi
- Beam steering of each 5 GHz narrow beam to 0, 10 or 20 degrees off-centre
- One radio can be set to a wide beam and the other to a narrow beam
- Self ID lets the antenna identify itself to the Catalyst 9130AXE access point
- Ultra-low sidelobe design for high-density venue deployments
- Weatherproof IP65 construction for outdoor venue installation
- Advanced beam selection parameters in the Catalyst 9800 controller radio profile

FAQs

Q: Which access point does the C-ANT9104 connect to?
A: It connects to the octal DART port on a Catalyst 9130AXE series access point. Self ID lets the antenna identify itself to the AP.

Q: Does the C-ANT9104 support 6 GHz?
A: No. It covers 2.4 GHz and dual 5 GHz only.

Q: Does the antenna need its own power supply or licence?
A: No. It is a passive antenna powered and controlled through the connected Catalyst 9130AXE. The antenna needs no licence, but the host AP uses the usual Catalyst wireless licensing for the chosen deployment.

Q: What controller is needed for the advanced beam selection features?
A: The advanced beam selection parameters are configured in the radio profile on a Catalyst 9800 wireless controller.

Q: How does beamwidth switching work at 5 GHz?
A: Beamwidth is set in software. You can choose a wide beam (7 dBi, 80 x 25 degrees) or a narrow beam (10 dBi, 25 x 25 degrees) per radio, and the narrow beam can be steered to 0, 10 or 20 degrees off-centre.
