Cisco 4G Indoor Antenna

The Cisco 4G Indoor Antenna is a ceiling-mount, omnidirectional solution engineered to maximize indoor cellular performance across multiple 3G and 4G bands. Designed to work seamlessly with Cisco network equipment, this antenna helps organizations reduce dead zones inside buildings, boost data throughput, and deliver reliable voice and mobile data services to employees, guests, and devices. With broad band coverage that includes major cellular frequencies, the 4G-ANTM-OM-CM brings improved signal strength to offices, retail spaces, warehouses, and other enclosed environments where indoor RF performance can be challenging. Its discreet ceiling-mount form ensures a clean, professional appearance while delivering robust signal capture from all directions, making it an ideal upgrade for Cisco-based networks seeking dependable, enterprise-grade connectivity.

• Multi-band coverage for 3G and 4G networks: The antenna operates across eight essential bands — 700, 800, 900, 1700, 1800, 1900, 2100, and 2600 MHz — providing broad compatibility with major carriers worldwide. This wide frequency span helps ensure reliable service as networks evolve and as devices switch bands, reducing the need for frequent replacements and enabling a future-proofed indoor signal solution.
• Ceiling-mount omnidirectional design for uniform indoor coverage: The ceiling-mounted, omnidirectional configuration captures signals from all directions without requiring precise alignment. This makes it an excellent choice for open-plan offices, conference spaces, retail floors, and areas with mixed walls and furnishings where signal reflections and multipath occur. The result is more consistent signal strength throughout the space and fewer dead zones, regardless of where people are seated or working.
• Optimized for Cisco environments: Specifically designed to work with Cisco 3G cellular Enhanced High-Speed WAN Interface Card deployments, the 4G Indoor Antenna helps maximize the performance of Cisco networking hardware. By delivering clean, wideband reception into the Cisco router or WIC, it supports stable data transfers, improved uplink and downlink speeds, and more reliable connections for bandwidth-intensive applications such as cloud services, video conferencing, and large file transfers.
• Improved indoor performance with easy integration: Inside a building, exterior signals can be weak due to walls, glass, and metal infrastructure. This antenna captures those signals more effectively and distributes them into the network device, reducing reliance on mobile hotspots and boosting overall network reliability. Its passive design integrates effortlessly with existing Cisco installations, minimizing disruption during deployment while delivering noticeable improvements in signal quality and user experience.
• Simple installation and discreet appearance: The antenna is designed for straightforward ceiling installation with minimal cabling and no external power requirements. Its compact form blends into most interiors, preserving the look of the workspace while providing a critical performance boost. Comprehensive mounting hardware and clear placement guidelines help technicians install the unit quickly, safely, and with confidence, so teams can get back to productive work faster.

How to install Cisco 4G Indoor Antenna

Installing the Cisco 4G Indoor Antenna is straightforward for most network professionals and can be completed with common hand tools and Cisco guidelines. Follow these steps to achieve an optimal, reliable indoor cellular connection:

• Plan a central, high location: Select a central ceiling location that provides broad RF exposure to the workspace while staying out of direct sightlines and away from large metal objects, which can distort signal patterns. A central position typically yields the most uniform coverage for workers across the floor.
• Prepare mounting surface: Verify the ceiling structure can support the mounting bracket and the antenna. Use the provided hardware to secure the bracket to the structural member, ensuring the mount is level and stable to prevent any movement over time.
• Route the RF coax cable: Run the coaxial RF cable from the Cisco device’s cellular interface toward the mounting location. Keep the cable as straight as possible, avoiding sharp bends and proximity to power lines to minimize interference and maintain signal integrity. Use protection grommets where the cable passes through walls or ceilings.
• Attach the antenna and connect: Mount the antenna onto the ceiling bracket and connect the RF cable to the antenna input as well as to the Cisco device’s corresponding port. Ensure all connectors are snug and protected from dust and moisture where applicable.
• Test, calibrate, and finalize: Power up the Cisco system and perform signal-quality tests across multiple areas of the space. If necessary, adjust the antenna position or cable routing to maximize signal strength and data throughput. Document the installation for future maintenance and potential expansions.

Frequently asked questions

What networks does this Cisco 4G Indoor Antenna support?

The antenna covers a broad range of 3G and 4G bands, including 700, 800, 900, 1700, 1800, 1900, 2100, and 2600 MHz, enabling compatibility with major carriers around the world. This wide bandwidth helps ensure reliable connectivity across regions and carriers as networks evolve.

Is this antenna suitable for indoor use?

Yes. It is designed specifically for indoor, ceiling-mount installations to improve cellular signal quality inside buildings where outside signals may be weak or inconsistent. Its omnidirectional design helps maintain coverage in varied indoor layouts.

What equipment is required to use this antenna?

The antenna is intended for use with Cisco 3G cellular Enhanced High-Speed WAN Interface Card within Cisco networking environments. Ensure compatibility with the Cisco device and proper cabling according to Cisco installation guides for optimal results.

Do I need to power this antenna?
