Integrated Antenna Option
The 1552C and 1552I models use the Integrated Low Profile Dual-Band 2.4/5 GHz Dipole Antenna
Array. The antenna contains an array of three dual-band dipole antennas. The three dipole antennas are
contained within this single radome, thereby greatly reducing the antennas visual footprint, and greatly
reducing the possibility of snagging the antenna on the cable bundle, the RF cable, or test cables. The
antennas operate over both 2.4 GHz and 5.25 – 5.85 GHz bands. Each of the three dipole antennas is a
dual-band antenna, covering both the 2.4 – 2.483 GHz band, and the 5.25 – 5.85 GHz bands. The antenna
have a peak gain of about 2 dBi at 2.4 GHz and 4 dBi at 5 GHz. The antenna unit is gray weatherproof
radome for outdoor operation.
The low profile integrated antennas are attached to the bottom of a Cisco access point. The 1552C comes
with the option of a C-bracket for strand mounting. The 1552C mesh access point chassis mounting
brackets and low profile antenna all fit within the 30 cm vertical right-of-way for cable strand-mounted
equipment. The antennas are internally connected to the diplexer ports of the outdoor mesh access point
2.4/5 GHz 2x3 MIMO radios.
Figure 9 shows an installed integrated low-profile dual-band (2.4 GHz and 5.25 GHz) 3-element array
antenna. It is available on models AIR-CAP1552I-x-K9 and AIR-CAP1552C-x-K9.
