- AP-503: Integrated downtilt omni-directional antennas for 2×2 MIMO with peak antenna gain of 1.7dBi in 2.4GHz and 4.8dBi in 5GHz. Built-in antennas are optimized for horizontal ceiling mounted orientation of the AP. The downtilt angle for maximum gain is roughly 30 degrees.
- Combining the patterns of each of the antennas of the MIMO radios, the peak gain of the combined, average pattern is 1.5dBi in 2.4GHz and 3.9dBi in 5GHz.
