Antennas yagi and AIR-CAP1602E

[s.devecchis]

I need to cover a warehouse stocks consisting of several rows of corridors.

I need only the band at 2.4 and I wanted to use the yagi antennas.

I wanted to know if using AIR-CAP1602E can then connect 2 or 3 antennas yagi 2.4 for each ap.

These products would have chosen:

AP: AIR-CAP1602E

Antenna: AIR-ANT2410Y-R

Thank You

You really don't want to do that.  Take a look at the clients whom will need wireless connectivity.  What type of antennas and gain do those have.  What your going to try to do is extend the RF from the AP to areas (corridors).  However, the signal from the wireless devices will not reach the AP?   Can you connect three yagi's for the AP1602, sure you can, but you need to have a few inches separation between each antenna and not more than the 2.4ghz wavelength.  This would be something you would need to test before you decide that this will be your solution.  Your better off with a patch antenna made for the 1602.

Please check the supported external antennae for AP 1600e.

External Antennas

The 1602E models are configured with up to three external dual-band dipole antennas, and two2.4-GHz/5-GHz dual-band radios. The radios and antennas support frequency bands 2400–2500MHz and 5150–5850 MHz through a common dual-band RF interface. Features of the external dual-band dipole antennas are:

•Three RTNC antenna connectors on the top of the access point

•Three TX and three RX antennas

These antennas are supported on the 1602E:

Antenna Part Number       Antenna Type                                           Antenna Gain  2 GHz / 5 GHz(dBi)

AIR-ANT2524DB-R          Dual-resonant black dipole                      2/4

AIR-ANT2524DW-R         Dual-resonant white dipole                      2/4

AIR-ANT2524DG-R         Dual-res

onant gray dipole                        2/4

AIR-ANT2524V4C-R        Dual-resonant, ceiling-mount omni
