Replace 350 Bridges with 1410 Bridges

[tzautcke]

I have a client who wants to replace his 350 series wireless bridges with AIR-BR1410A-A-K9-N. They are expecting to keep their existing ANT-1949 antennas. I see two problems. The 1410 bridges have Type N antenna connectors and the 350s have RP-TNC connectors. Also the 1949 antennas are rated for 2.4 GHz performance and not 5.

Are these facts correct? The client will have to replace their cable (or use adapters if possible) and they will have to replace their antennas, correct?

thanks,

Yes, both products uses separate set of antennas. Here is a link to list of antennas you can use with your 1400. 1400 bridge also comes in a model with an integrated antenna (22dbi), if you do not want to use external antennas. Choice of the product really depends on distance between the two locations. A site survey is a must.
