Product description
The Cisco AIR-ANT2524DW-RS is a dual-band dipole antenna designed to work with Cisco wireless Access Points that support RP-TNC ports. It efficiently operates across the 2400–2500 MHz and 5150–5850 MHz frequency ranges, delivering up to 2 dBi peak gain at 2.4 GHz and 4 dBi at 5 GHz, enhancing signal range and reducing interference in indoor office and building environments. The antenna features an omnidirectional design for uniform signal coverage in all directions and includes a Self-Identifying system that enables the AP to automatically detect and recognize the antenna type, minimizing configuration errors in network setup
More features
- Omnidirectional signal coverage in all directions
- Operates reliably up to 60°C
- Ultra-lightweight at just 1.3 ounces
- Compatible with Cisco Aironet Access Points out of the box
- Ideal for ceiling or desk mounting

Frequently asked questions about this product
Compiled from manufacturer information
AIR-ANT2524DW-RS can be mounted on the ceiling?
Yes, it can be mounted on the ceiling. For optimal omnidirectional signal coverage, install the antenna vertically, which is ideal for ceiling or wall mounting in office spaces
Which Access Point models is this antenna compatible with?
Works with Cisco Aironet Access Points that have an RP-TNC port and support 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequencies, especially models that support dual-band antennas such as the Catalyst 9100 series
How does the Self-ID system of AIR-ANT2524DW-RS work?
The Self-ID system enables the Access Point to automatically detect and identify the antenna type upon connection, reducing configuration errors and improving network management accuracy
Can this antenna be used with Wi-Fi 6?
Yes, this antenna supports the 5 GHz frequency band, which is part of the Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) standard, and can operate at full performance with Wi-Fi 6-compatible Access Points
Do I need to configure anything additional when installing this antenna?
No, configuration is not required. The Self-ID system allows the Access Point to automatically detect and configure the antenna, though it is recommended to verify that the AP supports this antenna type
How high is the temperature tolerance of this antenna?
Operates in temperatures from -20°C to +60°C and can be stored between -40°C and +85°C, making it suitable for general office environments
What is the signal coverage angle of this antenna?
The signal coverage angle (3dB beamwidth) is approximately 63 degrees at 2.4 GHz and 39 degrees at 5 GHz, providing wide horizontal coverage ideal for office spaces
