HPE JW006A Aruba AP-ANT-1B Omni-Directional Access point Antenna

Detailed Specifications

HPE JW006A

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

The HPE Aruba JW006A, also known as AP‑ANT‑1B, is a factory-certified indoor omni-directional dual-band Antenna designed specifically for use with Aruba access 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 Antenna mounts directly to supported Aruba APs 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 Aruba hardware, the AP‑ANT‑1B ensures reliable performance and firmware recognition on compatible AP models.

Features

Designed as a companion for Aruba indoor 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 Antenna options. 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 Aruba APs—no coax or external cabling required. The Antenna housing 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 Aruba firmware and access point diagnostics. It’s typically included in Aruba series of indoor Antenna offered in off-white finish to match Aruba AP aesthetics.

Product Key Features

  • Articulating mount with integrated RP‑SMA pigtail for AP-mounted connection

  • Horizontal 360° coverage; elevation beamwidth ~50° (2.4 GHz), ~25° (5 GHz)

  • Durable ABS housing, UV-resistant; operating range –10 °C to +55 °C

  • Certified for Aruba access points; OEM part JW006A / JW006‑61001


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 Antenna VSWR 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 Aruba AP operational conditions, ensuring stable RF performance and long-term reliability in standard indoor settings. OEM certification means the module is recognized by Aruba APs, 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 Aruba vendor 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)
