Description
Overview
Because of the COVID-19 epidemic and the development of hybrid work models, the workplace has changed tremendously.
More than half of employees are likely to work remotely at least part of the time post-pandemic1, making hybrid and remote work a permanent element of the workplace.
Providing remote teams with the capacity to connect, collaborate, and access the tools and data they need to execute their jobs has become a must for almost every company. As IT businesses change their network architectures for work from anywhere, ensuring that this connectivity and collaboration is done in a safe and compliant manner is a top priority.

Wi-Fi Antennas
Two integrated dual-band omni-directional antennas for 2×2 MIMO with maximum individual antenna gain of 0.7dBi in 2.4GHz and 1.0dBi in 5GHz. Built-in antennas are optimized for vertical orientation of the AP.
Combining the patterns of each of the antennas of the MIMO radios, the peak gain of the effective per-antenna pattern is -0.4dBi in 2.4GHz and 0.5dBi in 5GHz.
