The Cisco AIR-ANT2588P3M-N is a high-gain, dual-band directional antenna designed for outdoor wireless communication systems. This 3-port polarization-diverse patch antenna operates in both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency bands, providing a peak gain of 8 dBi across both bands. It is specifically engineered to optimize the performance and coverage of Cisco Aironet access points, such as the 1550 series, in challenging environments. The antenna features three N-type female connectors and is built with a durable, weather-resistant housing (IP67 rated) to withstand extreme temperatures, wind, and rain. Its directional coverage pattern focuses signal strength in a specific direction, making it ideal for point-to-point links or targeted area coverage in outdoor deployments.
