Cisco 1602e Antenna question

[tringwelski_2]

Hi, im looking for a recommendation for antennas for a pair of 1602e aps bridging outdoor with 500 ft between them.

thanks

The 1602e isn't outdoor rated APs, but the antenna you would want to use for bridging and you have line of sight would be AIR-ANT2566P4W-R Qty1 per AP.  Please remember the antennas need to be hight enough so you don't zap people in the head. Please refer to - http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/wireless/access_point/1600/quick/guide/ap1600getstart.pdf
