Description

HPE AP-ANT-22 Antenna

The HPE AP-ANT-22 Antenna is a versatile dual-band solution engineered to extend the reach of your wireless network. Tailored for 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz operation with a compact, omni-directional form factor, this RP-SMA antenna helps optimize coverage, reliability, and throughput for wireless access points in office suites, classrooms, retail spaces, and hospitality environments. Its balanced gain and straightforward installation make it an ideal upgrade to reduce dead zones, support high-density device loads, and maintain robust connectivity across a variety of devices.

  • Dual-band coverage for 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz - The HPE AP-ANT-22 is designed to operate across both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, enabling flexible compatibility with modern Wi-Fi deployments. By supporting dual-band operation, it helps optimize client connections, manage traffic more efficiently, and sustain higher data rates for multimedia, collaboration apps, and cloud services. Whether you’re upgrading an existing network or deploying a new one, this antenna provides the visibility and throughput required for today’s wireless workloads while remaining compatible with a wide range of AP configurations.
  • Omni-directional radiation pattern for multi-directional coverage - With an omni-directional design, this antenna radiates signals evenly in all directions. That means you can position it in ceilings or on walls and still enjoy uniform coverage across floors, hallways, and large open areas. An omni pattern reduces the likelihood of dead zones and ensures devices and clients roam seamlessly without frequent re-connections or drops as they move through the space. The result is a more reliable wireless experience in busy environments where devices are constantly on the move.
  • 4 dBi gain for improved range and performance - The antenna’s 4 dBi gain provides a favorable balance of reach and compatibility with standard AP radiation patterns. This translates to stronger signal strength at moderate distances, fewer retransmissions, and better performance for bandwidth-intensive activities like video conferencing, streaming, and large file transfers. The gain is tuned to maintain compatibility with typical enterprise APs and to minimize interference with neighboring networks, delivering consistent performance without complicating network planning.
  • RP-SMA connector for easy integration with wireless access points - The HPE AP-ANT-22 uses a standard RP-SMA connector, allowing straightforward installation on compatible access points and other devices with RP-SMA ports. The screw-in connection provides a secure, reliable link that resists accidental disconnections in busy workspaces. This common connector type supports flexible deployments across different brands and models, enabling you to retrofit or expand your network without compatibility concerns.
  • Compact, easy installation and broad compatibility - Its compact design is suitable for tight ceilings, wall mounts, or cabinet installations, making it simple to add or upgrade antenna coverage with minimal disruption. The RP-SMA interface broadens compatibility beyond HPE APs to many devices that use RP-SMA ports, offering versatility for mixed-brand environments or future network upgrades. The antenna’s straightforward setup means you can deploy quickly and begin optimizing coverage with minimal downtime.

How to Install HPE AP-ANT-22 Antenna

  • Power down the wireless access point or network device before installing or removing antennas.
  • Locate the RP-SMA connector on the device where the antenna will be attached.
  • Align the antenna’s RP-SMA connector with the device’s RP-SMA jack and thread it clockwise until it is snug. Do not overtighten.
  • Ensure a secure and firm connection, then position the antenna for optimal coverage. For many deployments, mounting the antenna vertically provides balanced 2.4 GHz propagation and reduces polarization mismatch.
  • Power the device back on and test wireless performance across the intended coverage area. If needed, adjust the antenna orientation to minimize interference and maximize signal strength in target zones.
  • Monitor client performance and make small orientation tweaks as required to balance load and ensure consistent experience for all users.

Frequently asked questions

  • Q: What frequency bands does the HPE AP-ANT-22 support? A: It supports dual-band operation on 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz to match modern Wi‑Fi networks.
  • Q: What is the antenna gain? A: The antenna provides 4 dBi of gain, designed to improve range and reliability without introducing excessive interference.
  • Q: What connector type does this antenna use? A: It uses a standard RP-SMA connector for easy integration with compatible access points and devices.
