Antenna Gain Matrix

The following table lists the antenna gains for your access point grouped by operational mode and radio. Use this information as you plan your installation to maximize the AP's efficiency.

Note

Antenna gain is a measure of an antenna's efficiency to convert power into radio waves. It relates the intensity of an antenna in a given direction to the intensity that is produced isotropically or by an antenna that radiates equally in all directions and has no losses.

Only a professional installer should ever set the antenna gain. For more information, see Wireless Controller, Service Platform and Access Point CLI Reference Guide.

The AP5020 has the following internal antennas:
