Specifications
Wi-Fi Radio
- AP type:
- Indoor, dual radio, 5GHz and 2.4GHz 802.11ax 4x4 MIMO
- 5GHz radio:
- Four spatial stream HE80 (or 2SS HE160) MIMO for up to 2.4Gbps wireless data rate
- 2.4GHz radio:
- Four spatial stream HE40 (HE20) MIMO for up to 1,147Mbps (574Mbps) wireless data rate
- Maximum number of associated client devices:
- Up to 1024 associated client devices per radio
- Maximum number of BSSIDs:
- 16 BSSIDs per radio
Wi-Fi Antennas
-
Four integrated dual-band downtilt omni- directional antennas for 4x4 MIMO with peak antenna gain of 3.5dBi in 2.4GHz and 5.4dBi 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.
- A mix of horizontally and vertically polarized antenna elements is used
- Combining the patterns of each of the antennas of the MIMO radios, the peak gain of the combined, average pattern is 1.9dBi in 2.4GHz and 3.5dBi in 5GHz.
Other Interfaces
-
E0, E1: HPE SmartRate port (RJ-45, maximum negotiated speed 5Gbps)
-
Auto-sensing link speed (100/1000/2500/5000BASE-T) and MDI/MDX
