HPE Outdoor MIMO Antenna Kit ANT-3X3-5010

Introducing the HPE ANT-3X3-5010 Outdoor MIMO Antenna Kit, a purpose-built three-antenna solution engineered to maximize performance for 802.11ac and 802.11n MIMO mesh networks and client access in outdoor environments. This kit couples three omnidirectional antennas—two mounted vertically and one horizontally—to deliver flexible 3x3 MIMO configurations, broad directional coverage, and reliable signal propagation across campuses, business parks, and outdoor venues. Designed to complement HPE networking gear, ANT-3X3-5010 is tailored for outdoor deployments where robust connectivity, scalable capacity, and seamless integration with existing infrastructure are paramount. By enabling multi-directional coverage and improved link reliability, this antenna kit helps network operators extend high-speed Wi‑Fi to hard‑to‑reach areas while maintaining consistent performance even in challenging environments. With its wide 4.9–5.875 GHz band, the kit supports essential outdoor Wi‑Fi bands and ensures compatibility with a broad range of 802.11ac/n devices, making it a strategic addition to any enterprise-grade outdoor network rollout.

• 3x3 MIMO Ready for Outdoor Mesh and Client Access: The ANT-3X3-5010 kit provides three omnidirectional antennas configured to support true 3x3 MIMO, enabling higher data rates, improved spectral efficiency, and enhanced performance in dense outdoor deployments where multiple clients compete for air time. This configuration helps exploit multi-user MIMO advantages, delivering smoother throughput for applications such as high-definition video, real-time collaboration, and large campus deployments.
• Omnidirectional Coverage with Dual-Vertical and Single-Horizontal Design: By combining two vertically oriented antennas with one horizontal antenna, the kit covers a full 360 degrees of wireless space around your outdoor access point. This arrangement creates favorable radiation patterns for backhaul and client links, reducing blind spots and promoting uniform signal distribution across open areas, courtyards, and perimeter fencing while preserving signal integrity even when transmitters are moving or in variable layouts.
• Wide Frequency Range for Versatile Outdoor Wi‑Fi: Operating in the 4.9–5.875 GHz spectrum, ANT-3X3-5010 aligns with common outdoor Wi‑Fi deployments and backward-compatible 802.11ac/n networks. The broad band coverage helps ensure compatibility with current and evolving access points, enabling administrators to optimize backhaul links between buildings and provide reliable client connectivity across mixed-use outdoor environments without needing mid‑deployment antenna swaps.
• Outdoor MIMO Mesh and Client Access Solution: This three-antenna kit is purpose‑built for both backhaul mesh links and client access in outdoor spaces. It supports enterprise-grade networking needs, including campus-wide outdoor coverage, stadiums, event spaces, and remote buildings that require dependable wireless connectivity. The combination of omnidirectional gain and MIMO capability helps sustain high throughput, even when faced with reflective surfaces, foliage, or irregular layouts common in outdoor settings.
• Easy Deployment with Flexible Mounting: The ANT-3X3-5010 kit is designed for straightforward outdoor installation, enabling rapid expansion of your Wi‑Fi footprint. With a compact, rugged form factor and coordinated antenna orientations, deployment reduces configuration complexity and accelerates time-to-value for network upgrades, expansions, and future-proof growth in busy outdoor environments.

how to install HPE Outdoor MIMO Antenna Kit ANT-3X3-5010

• Plan your installation by mapping outdoor coverage goals and identifying optimal mounting locations that maximize line-of-sight and minimize obstructions for MIMO backhaul or client links.
• Prepare mounting surfaces and hardware. Use appropriate outdoor-rated poles or masts and secure the two vertical antennas and one horizontal antenna in the intended orientations to align with the kit’s 3x3 MIMO configuration. Ensure all mounting hardware is tightened and weatherproofed as required by your environment.
• Route RF cabling carefully. Connect each antenna to its corresponding radio port on the outdoor access point or bridge device using weatherproof, high-quality RF cables. Maintain clean cable management to avoid strain and reduce potential RF interference from loose lines or adjacent equipment.
• Configure the MIMO settings. In your wireless controller or AP management interface, enable the 3x3 MIMO configuration, and verify that the antenna orientations (two vertical, one horizontal) are recognized by the system. Align radio settings with your network design for optimal throughput and coverage.
• Test and tune the deployment. Power up the system, run throughput and range tests, and evaluate signal strength across the intended coverage area. If necessary, adjust antenna positioning to balance coverage, reduce interference, and improve client experience in areas with higher device density.
