Description

This outdoor GNSS/GPS antenna is an optional external accessory for Meraki and Cisco Catalyst outdoor Wi-Fi access points. It lets you mount the GNSS receiver input where it has a clear view of the sky, away from the access point itself. That suits campuses, stadiums, warehouses and pole or roof-mounted sites that need location and timing data, including 6 GHz AFC compliance.

The antenna is an active dual-band L1/L5 design with right-hand circular polarisation (RHCP). It combines a patch element, SAW filter and combined LNA, delivering a maximum gain of +2 dBi with an omnidirectional azimuth pattern. A 10 ft (3 m) low-loss RF pigtail cable terminates in an SMA male connector, which plugs into the GPS antenna port on the access point. The antenna draws its power from that port, so no separate power supply is needed.

The housing is outdoor-rated and can be fixed to a pole or wall. The Meraki accessories page lists the CW9163E as the compatible access point, and the pole-mount and wall-mount installation steps are covered in the CW9163E installation guide. The antenna itself needs no licence or subscription. The host access point carries its own Meraki cloud licence or Catalyst licensing.

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

FAQs

Q: Does this antenna need a licence or subscription?
A: No. It is a passive accessory with no licence or subscription. The access point it connects to needs its own Meraki cloud licence or Catalyst licensing.

Q: How is the antenna powered?
A: It is an active antenna powered from the GNSS/GPS port on the host access point, so it needs no separate power supply.

Q: Which access point does it work with?
A: The Meraki accessories page lists the CW9163E as the compatible access point. It connects to the SMA GPS antenna port on the access point.

Q: Why use an external GNSS antenna?
A: The 10 ft cable lets you place the antenna where it has a clear view of the sky, away from the access point. This gives better location and timing data and supports 6 GHz AFC compliance on outdoor deployments.

Q: Can it be mounted outdoors?
A: Yes. It has an outdoor-rated housing and can be mounted on a pole or a wall. The CW9163E installation guide covers both methods.
