Meraki MA-ANT-23 2.4 GHz Sector Antenna

The Meraki MA-ANT-23 2.4 GHz sector antenna is engineered to deliver precise, high‑quality client coverage where you need it most. With an 11 dBi gain and MIMO compatibility, this antenna concentrates wireless signal over focused areas to maximize throughput and reliability for Wi‑Fi deployments. Designed for Meraki access points that feature N-type connectors, it provides a scalable solution for campuses, offices, retail environments, classrooms, and warehouses seeking robust 2.4 GHz coverage without unnecessary interference.

• Targeted coverage with high gain: The MA-ANT-23 focuses RF energy into specific zones, delivering stronger, more reliable connections in classrooms, conference spaces, retail bays, and warehouse aisles. This focused approach reduces interference in surrounding areas, improves airtime efficiency, and helps distribute client connections more evenly across your network. In dense environments, the 11 dBi sector design enables you to extend meaningful coverage where it matters most, while keeping other areas quieter and easier to manage.
• 2.4 GHz performance optimized for MIMO networks: Operating across 2.4 GHz to 2.5 GHz, this antenna is built to pair with Meraki APs that support MIMO, enabling better multi‑client performance and higher data throughput. By aligning with common 2.4 GHz Wi‑Fi deployments, the MA-ANT-23 helps you maximize the efficiency of your wireless infrastructure, delivering dependable connections for everyday business activities, collaborative work, and guest devices alike.
• Seamless Meraki integration: Designed specifically for Meraki ecosystems, the MA-ANT-23 works with Meraki access points that have N-type connectors. It complements your cloud‑managed network strategy by enabling straightforward deployment, centralized monitoring, and scalable expansion through the Meraki Dashboard, so you can configure, adjust, and analyze performance from anywhere.
• Easy installation and alignment: The MA-ANT-23 is built for simple mounting on walls or poles, with a compact footprint that fits neatly into existing network installations. When you place the antenna to face the target coverage area, you optimize signal strength and reliability. The straightforward mechanical design makes alignment quick and precise, helping technicians minimize site time and maximize the benefits of your 2.4 GHz deployment.
• Cost-efficient network optimization: By concentrating coverage exactly where it’s needed, this sector antenna helps you support more clients with predictable performance while potentially reducing the number of APs required for adequate coverage. The result is improved user experiences, lower total cost of ownership, and a faster return on investment for enterprise, education, or retail networks that rely on high‑quality 2.4 GHz Wi‑Fi connectivity.
