  • 1.  Aruba vs Ruckus? Horizontal / Vertical coverage antenna design??

    Posted Sep 16, 2019 11:36 AM

    We have a new Wireless Engineer who comes from a Ruckus background. He stated that Ruckus APs provide both Horizontal and Vertical coverage (dual polarity)  due to something with their antenna design.I believe this would be called a "dual polarized antenna".

     

    He stated Aruba does not do this. Is this markeing? I did not follow all of it. Does Aruba do this same thing? Anyone aware of this scenario? Any education would be great.

     

    Thank you,

    The "normal" AP's (like the 305) has built-in downtilit antenna's. These should always be mounted on a ceiling, facing downwards.

     

    You can also use a model with external antenna's (like the 304) it will allow you to install different antenna's, including dual polarized (ANT-28 and ANT-35a) and even an multi polarized (ANT-38)

     

    Please see a complete list of all available antenna's here:
