What type of antenna is the HPE J9720A?

The HPE J9720A is classified as an outdoor omni directional antenna. It appears in the category Antennas, Outdoor Omni directional Antenna, indicating it is intended for external environments where 360 degree coverage around the mounting point is required. This classification helps match it to network designs that specify omni directional outdoor antennas.

Which frequency band does the J9720A antenna support?

The J9720A is categorized under 5 GHz 3 port MIMO, which identifies it as a 5 GHz antenna. This means it is intended for use with wireless systems operating in the 5 GHz band, and should be paired with radios or access points designed for that frequency range to maintain compatibility and correct performance characteristics.

What is the gain range of the HPE J9720A antenna?

The HPE J9720A is listed within the category that specifies 8 dBi to 10 dBi gain. This indicates the antenna provides gain in that range relative to an isotropic radiator. Knowing the gain range is important for link budget calculations, coverage planning, and ensuring alignment with any regulatory limits on effective radiated power.

Does the J9720A support MIMO configurations?

Yes, the J9720A appears in the category 5 GHz 3 port MIMO, indicating support for a 3 port MIMO configuration. This means it is designed to work with radios that use three antenna elements for multiple input, multiple output operation, which is relevant for capacity and throughput planning in modern wireless network designs.

How can procurement teams accurately reference this antenna?

Procurement teams should reference this antenna using its brand and SKU, specifically HPE HP Outdoor Omni 8dBi 5GHz 3 Element Antenna with SKU J9720A. Using the full model name and SKU ensures alignment with design documents and bills of materials that call for an outdoor omni directional 5 GHz 3 port MIMO antenna with 8 dBi to 10 dBi gain.
