Wi-Fi Antennas
Two integrated dual-band moderately directional antennas for 2×2 MIMO with maximum individual antenna gain of 4.9dBi in 2.4GHz and 6.0dBi in 5GHz. Built-in antennas are optimized for vertical orientation of the AP. The horizontal beamwidth is roughly 120 degrees.
Combining the patterns of each of the antennas of the MIMO radios (in 2×2 mode), the peak gain of the effective per-antenna pattern is 2.3dBi in 2.4GHz and 3.4dBi in 5GHz.
