•
•
Two mounting configurations are available, the cable strand mount and pole mount (refer to
the Access Point" section on page
The AIR-CAP1552E-x-K9 and AIR-CAP1552H-x-K9 models must always be operated with the three

Cisco Low Profile Dual-Band 2.4/5 GHz Omni Antenna Array, an integrated array of three
dual-band omni antennas, as shown in
Cisco Dual-Band Omnidirectional Antenna (AIR-ANT2547V-N), referred to as "stick" antennas, as
shown in Figure 1-9.
Figure 1-7
Contains an array of three dual-band omni antennas—The three omni antennas are contained within
this single radome, which greatly reduces the antenna's visual footprint and reduces the possibility
of snagging the antenna on the cable bundle, the RF cable, or test cables.
Operates over both 2.4 GHz and 5.25–5.85 GHz bands—Each of the three omni antennas is a
dual-band antenna, covering both the 2.4–2.48 GHz band, and the 5.25–5.85 GHz bands.
Gain of about 2 dBi at 2.4 GHz, 4 dBi at 5 GHz.
