Description

The HPE AP-ANT-16 Indoor MIMO Antenna is engineered to elevate wireless performance in office, education, and commercial spaces. This dual-band, three-element omni-directional antenna is designed to optimize coverage for 802.11n MIMO networks while staying discreet in indoor environments. Housed in a compact PVC/Acrylic radome, the AP-ANT-16 combines rugged reliability with a sleek, low-profile silhouette that blends into ceiling aesthetics. Its practical ceiling-mount design, featuring integrated spring clips, makes deployment simple and scalable for growing networks—without sacrificing signal quality or coverage uniformity across open floor plans and busy workspaces.

  • Dual-band 3-element omni-directional design: This antenna delivers consistent, 360-degree coverage across multiple indoor channels, supporting simultaneous connections from numerous clients. The three-element MIMO configuration enhances signal diversity and throughput, helping to reduce dead zones and improve user experiences in dense environments.
  • Compact, low-profile radome: Encased in a weather-resistant PVC/Acrylic housing, the AP-ANT-16 maintains a discreet presence in ceilings while withstanding the rigors of everyday office use. The compact form factor minimizes visual impact and interference with interior décor and HVAC fixtures, making it ideal for corporate installations, classrooms, meeting rooms, and retail environments.
  • Ceiling-mount convenience with integrated spring clips: The antenna is designed for quick, tool-free mounting to standard drop ceiling grids using built-in spring clips. This feature accelerates deployment, reduces install time, and simplifies future maintenance or repositioning as your space evolves or network needs change.
  • Three MIMO elements for enhanced throughput and reliability: Each element contributes to improved path diversity, enabling better performance for bandwidth-intensive applications. With three dedicated MIMO paths, the AP-ANT-16 helps stabilize wireless links, increase effective data rates, and deliver more consistent performance across a range of client devices and network loads.
  • Enterprise-ready compatibility and deployment flexibility: Built to support 802.11n MIMO deployments, this antenna integrates smoothly with enterprise wireless ecosystems. It is suitable for a variety of access point platforms and network topologies, enabling scalable upgrades to cover larger spaces or higher client densities while maintaining a clean, professional installation.
