Wi-Fi Antennas

• Four integrated dual-band downtilt omni-directional antennas for 4x4 MIMO (2x2 MIMO for 2.4GHz) with peak antenna gain of 4.2dBi in 2.4GHz and 7.5dBi in 5GHz. Built-in antennas are optimized for horizontal ceiling mounted orientation of the AP. The downtilt angle for maximum gain is roughly 30 degrees.

• Combining the patterns of each of the antennas of the MIMO radios, the peak gain of the effective per-antenna pattern is 3.8dBi in 2.4 GHz and 4.6dBi in 5 GHz.
