About This Item
The Cisco Meraki MA-ANT-20 is a dual-band omnidirectional Wi-Fi antenna set designed for Meraki MR series access points with external N-type connectors. Sold as a pack of two, each antenna delivers 4 dBi of gain on the 2.400 to 2.500 GHz band and 7 dBi of gain on the 5.150 to 5.875 GHz band, providing 360-degree horizontal coverage and vertical linear polarization for extended wireless reach in large open environments, warehouses, retail floors, and sheltered outdoor deployments. The MA-ANT-20 screws directly onto the access point with no coaxial cable required, keeping the installation clean and minimizing insertion loss. Certified for use with the Cisco Meraki MR62, MR66, MR72, MR74, MR76, MR84, and MR86 access points, it gives network administrators a sanctioned external antenna upgrade path for improved client coverage, stronger uplink and downlink signal levels, and better throughput at the edge of the wireless cell. Each antenna measures 1.0 by 7.1 inches, weighs 0.17 pounds, is constructed from ABS plastic, and is rated for operation from minus 40 to 158 degrees Fahrenheit, making it suitable for conditioned indoor spaces and sheltered outdoor installations alike. An ideal upgrade for IT administrators deploying Meraki wireless networks in spaces that demand wide-area omnidirectional Wi-Fi coverage.
