Indoor/Outdoor MIMO Antenna

The Aruba AP-ANT-35A is a multi-polarised antenna designed for wireless data networks. It operates across 2.40 GHz to 2.50 GHz and 4.90 GHz to 6 GHz frequency ranges. The unit provides a nominal 90° H x 90° V beamwidth for sector coverage. It comes with wall anchors for pole or wall mounting.

Installers needing dual-band sector coverage

This antenna suits deployments requiring 5 dBi gain across UHF and SHF bands with RP-SMA connectors. It is not for buyers needing omnidirectional patterns or higher gain figures. Installers requiring different connector types or frequency bands should look elsewhere. The fixed beamwidth limits flexibility for narrow-sector designs.

5 dBi gain across two frequency bands

The antenna comfortably handles 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz sector coverage for outdoor access points. It runs out when installations demand gain above 5 dBi or beamwidths narrower than 90°. The RP-SMA interface restricts use to compatible Aruba access points. Physical dimensions are 1.3 height by 7.9 width by 7.9 depth.

Questions about this item

Which access points accept the RP-SMA connectors on this AP-ANT-35A antenna?

The antenna uses RP-SMA connectors, so it attaches to any HPE Instant On or Aruba access point that provides matching RP-SMA antenna ports for 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz radios.

Will the 90° by 90° beamwidth of this antenna work with an older AP that has a narrower pattern?

Yes, the wider 90° H x 90° V coverage simply extends sector reach; the older AP will still drive the antenna, though its own radio chain limits the maximum throughput.

How can I confirm the antenna is radiating on both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands after installation?

Check the AP management dashboard for signal strength and client association on both the 2.40 GHz to 2.50 GHz and 4.90 GHz to 6 GHz ranges; a healthy RSSI on each band shows the MIMO antenna is active.
