Cisco Aironet Dual-Band Omnidirectional Antenna (AIR-ANT2547V-N, AIR-ANT2547VG-N)
The Dual-Band Omnidirectional Antenna, referred to as a “stick” antenna, is designed for outdoor use
with Cisco Aironet Outdoor Access Points with radios operating in the 2.4-GHz and 5-GHz frequency
bands (Figure 2-17). Basic operating features of the antenna are:
• Omnidirectional collinear array
• Operates in the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency bands
• Gain:
– 2400–2483 MHz — 4-dBi
– 5250–5875 MHz — 7-dBi
The antenna is designed to create an omnidirectional broadcast pattern. To achieve this pattern, mount
the access point clear of any obstructions to the sides of the radiating element.
For detailed information on this antenna, refer to the Cisco Aironet Dual-Band Omnidirectional Antenna
