HPE JW017A Aruba AP-Antenna-40 2.4 5GHz 4 4dBi 4x4 Omni

HPE JW017A - Dual-Band 4×4 Omni-Directional Antenna (Indoor Ceiling)

Overview

The HPE JW017A (also known as AP-ANT-40) is an indoor ceiling-mount omni-directional antenna with 4×4 MIMO capability, built for enterprise wireless deployments requiring uniform coverage in open-plan offices, large meeting rooms or classroom environments. With gain figures of approximately 4 dBi in the 2.4 GHz band and 5 dBi in the 5 GHz band, it supports dual-band access points needing external antennas for optimized performance. It is designed to deploy flush with ceilings or drop-tiles and integrates four RP-SMA pigtails for connection to supporting access points. This antenna works in enterprise campus, branch or hospitality environments where ceiling-mounted WiFi access points deliver coverage across hundreds of clients. Compatible with the Aruba WLAN ecosystem from HPE.

Key Features

• Dual-band support across 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz with separate element gains (~4 dBi @2.4 GHz, ~5 dBi @5 GHz) for balanced RF coverage.

• 360° horizontal radiation pattern and downtilt elevation (~100° beam) delivering consistent ceiling-mounted coverage in large indoor zones.

• Four RP-SMA pigtail connectors (plenum rated) for connecting to 4×4 access points without external coax run complexity.

• Discrete ceiling-mount radial form-factor (≈ 178 mm diameter) suitable for modern interiors and low visibility installations.

• Rated for typical commercial-indoor temperature ranges (approx -30 °C to +70 °C), making it suitable for standard telecom environments in ceiling plenum spaces.
