HPE JW018A Aruba AP-Antenna-45 2.4/5GHz 5dBi 4x4 Panel

HPE JW018A – Outdoor Dual-Band 4×4 MIMO Sector Antenna (90° × 90°)

Overview

The HPE JW018A (model AP-ANT-45) is a dual-band 4×4 MIMO sector antenna engineered for outdoor or semi-outdoor WiFi deployments that require focused coverage rather than full omnidirectional spread. It supports both the 2.4 GHz (2.4–2.5 GHz) and 5 GHz (4.9–6.0 GHz) bands with nominal gains of approximately 4.5 dBi and 5.5 dBi respectively, and a fixed 90° horizontal and 90° vertical beam-width for controlled sector coverage. Typical scenario: mounted on a building façade or rooftop, feeding a sector of wireless clients (for example along a balcony edge, retail open yard or campus courtyard) while limiting spill-over and interference to adjacent zones. It fits into campus, hospitality, manufacturing floor or large-venue outdoor WiFi zones. Compatible with external-antenna enabled APs using RP-SMA pigtail connectors.

Key Features

• Dual-band support: ~4.5 dBi at 2.4 GHz / ~5.5 dBi at 5 GHz for balanced dual-band coverage in a sector pattern.

• 90° horizontal × 90° vertical beam-width provides focused sector coverage—ideal for covering one-third or one-quarter of a circle from a pole or wall mount.

• Four RP-SMA pigtail connectors (4×4 MIMO) simplify integration with APs requiring external multi-element antenna sets.

• Outdoor-rated housing (-40 °C to +65 °C) supports wall or pole mounting and brief exposure to elements (sheltered outdoor).

• Plenum-/pole-mount bracket hardware included allows flexible installation in campus or industrial-edge settings.
