HPEJW006A

Aruba(AP-ANT-1B) Indoor Omni-Directional Antenna- Dual-Band 2.4/5 GHz

The HPEArubaJW006A, also known as AP-ANT-1B, is a factory-certified indoor omni-directional dual-band Antennadesigned specifically for use with Arubaaccess points. Covering both the 2.4 GHz (2.4-2.5 GHz) and 5 GHz (4.9-5.875 GHz) frequency ranges, it delivers consistent coverage in office, retail, or educational environments. The Antennamounts directly to supported ArubaAPs using the built-in RP-SMA connector and articulating mount for flexible positioning. With moderate gain and a full 360° horizontal pattern, it is ideal for general-purpose WLAN coverage and wireless intrusion prevention deployments. OEM-certified for Arubahardware, the AP-ANT-1B ensures reliable performance and firmware recognition on compatible AP models.

Features

Designed as a companion for Arubaindoor access points, the AP-ANT-1B provides balanced coverage across both Wi-Fi bands. It offers approximately 3.8 dBi gain at 2.4 GHz and 5.8 dBi gain at 5 GHz, offering better mid- and upper-band performance compared to standard Antennaoptions. The omni-directional design ensures uniform coverage in all directions with 360° horizontal beamwidth and elevation patterns suited for ceiling or wall mounting.([turn0search4]turn0search1turn0search6) It features a built-in articulating mount and integrated RP-SMA pigtail to connect directly to ArubaAPs×no coax or external cabling required. The Antennahousing is made of UV-resistant ABS plastic and covers an operating range from -10 °C to +55 °C, providing stable performance in typical indoor environments. VSWR is kept under 2.0:1, ensuring minimal reflected power and reliable RF transmission across the bands. Maximum input power is 2 W, and impedance is 50 Ω.([turn0search3]turn0search4)

Advanced Options

Available new or as refurbished OEM units under part number JW006A, the AP-ANT-1B is often supplied with a 90-day warranty by resellers. OEM-certified hardware ensures full compatibility with Arubafirmware and access point diagnostics. It's typically included in Arubaseries of indoor Antennaoffered in off-white finish to match ArubaAP aesthetics.

Reliability & Performance

Built for simplicity and reliability, the AP-ANT-1B enhances indoor Wi-Fi performance with a neutral yet effective radiation pattern across both frequency bands. Especially at 5 GHz, the higher gain helps extend coverage in open ceilings or across meeting room areas while maintaining consistent signal quality. The AntennaVSWR below 2.0:1 ensures minimal RF losses and stable impedance matching to the AP's transmitter.([turn0search3]turn0search4) Installation is streamlined by the articulating mount and built-in connector × no external cabling, fast deployment. Thermal and environmental specs align with ArubaAP operational conditions, ensuring stable RF performance and long-term reliability in standard indoor settings. OEM certification means the module is recognized by ArubaAPs, preserving firmware logs, diagnostic data, and ensuring seamless support. Refurbished units offer value for less-critical deployments with typically 90-day warranty, while new units ensure full Arubavendor support. Given its compact size (~14.5 cm × 3.5 cm × 2.5 cm, ~0.11 kg) and unobtrusive off-white design, it integrates cleanly with modern indoor AP installations.([turn0search6]turn0search4)
