Dual Band Range Extender Antenna Description

The AP-7 can use internal or external antennas. The AP-7 has two diversity antennas
embedded. The internal antennas are arranged to provide both spatial and polarization
diversity. The AP-7 also has two external antenna connectors for use with the Dual Band Range
Extender Antenna (Dual REA).
The Dual Band REA is a dual band indoor antenna that works with both 2.4 GHz (802.11b/g)
and 5 GHz (802.11a) radios. The Dual Band REA can be used with either radio on the AP-8, or
with the AP-7 or AP-6. The Dual Band REA allows for better antenna placement for optimizing
cell size.
Antenna Diversity Options
With one Dual Band REA connected to one of the two antenna connectors on the radio, the AP
supports antenna diversity (one embedded antenna and one external REA) and one of the two
embedded antennas is disabled.
