Aruba ANT-2x2-5005 Antenna Kit

The Aruba JW026A is an outdoor antenna kit created for network teams that need dependable wireless coverage and strong mesh links in open areas. It arrives with two omnidirectional antennas that are designed to work together, forming a 2x2 MIMO pair that improves capacity and resilience.

One antenna uses vertical polarization and the other uses horizontal polarization. This combination limits signal fade and keeps throughput stable across the 4.9 to 5.875 GHz band. Each unit delivers 5 dBi gain and a 360-degree horizontal beamwidth, so devices placed anywhere around the mounting point receive consistent performance.

The housing stands up to weather, and Aruba includes a pole-mount kit that secures easily to a mast, light post, or rooftop rail. Once in place, the antennas extend Wi-Fi to courtyards, loading docks, stadium seating, or any location where indoor access points cannot reach.

Compatibility is straightforward. Standard 50-ohm connectors link directly to Aruba access points such as the AP-580 and MSR4000 series, and no proprietary cabling is required. This makes the JW026A a practical addition for campus administrators, hospitality venues, event organizers, or anyone building a reliable outdoor mesh.

By combining robust construction, true 2x2 MIMO support, and simple installation, the Aruba JW026A helps you deliver the coverage and capacity that modern outdoor networks demand.
