Cisco Industrial Routers and Industrial Wireless Access Points Antenna Guide

Overview

The Cisco Symmetrical Horn CC Antenna (IW-ANT-H90-510-N) offers unique RF performance in a compact package. Scalar horn antennas have symmetrical main beam with identical beam width in Vertical and Horizontal plane. Exceptionally small side lobes ensure remarkable interference suppression. These antennas are ideal for coverage of areas with clients close to the installation site, where null zone issues exist. High density AP clusters and radio co-location is made possible due to unique radiation patterns and compact size.

These antennas feature multiple improvements of RF performance and design, namely, optically lighter body and significantly improved bracket. The antenna is equipped with N-female connectors.
