Frequently asked questions

What frequency bands does the HPE AP-ANT-22 Q8N49A support?

The HPE AP-ANT-22 Q8N49A antenna is specified as a dual-band indoor solution that operates in both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency ranges. This allows it to support common Wi-Fi deployments where client devices may connect over either band, helping standardize antenna selection across mixed-frequency environments.

What is the gain of the HPE AP-ANT-22 antenna?

The AP-ANT-22 antenna is listed with a 4 dBi gain. This value describes how the antenna focuses radio energy relative to an ideal reference, which helps network planners estimate coverage. A 4 dBi gain is suitable for general indoor omni-directional coverage where consistent signal levels are required in multiple directions.

Is the AP-ANT-22 Q8N49A suitable for indoor deployments?

Yes, the AP-ANT-22 Q8N49A is categorized as a dual-band indoor MIMO omni-directional antenna. Its design and classification target indoor environments such as offices or commercial spaces where 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz Wi-Fi coverage is required using an omni-directional radiation pattern.

How many antennas are included with the AP-ANT-22 Q8N49A?

The AP-ANT-22 Q8N49A is supplied as a 2-pack. This means each order provides two matching dual-band indoor MIMO omni-directional antennas. The 2-pack format is useful for environments with multiple access points or where standardized deployment of identical antennas is required.

What type of wireless configuration does the AP-ANT-22 support?

The AP-ANT-22 is described as an indoor MIMO omni-directional antenna operating at 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz with 4 dBi gain. The MIMO designation indicates it is intended for use with multi-antenna wireless systems, enabling enhanced performance where compatible access points use multiple spatial streams.
