This describes the Cisco Aironet high-performance, dual-band dipole antenna, and provides specifications and mounting instructions. The antenna operates in both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency bands, and is designed for use with Cisco Aironet 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz radio products with dual-band reverse-polarity TNC (RP-TNC) antenna ports. The antenna has a nominal gain of 2 dBi in the 2.4 GHz frequency band and 4 dBi in the 5 GHz frequency band. The AIR-ANT2524Dx-R antennas covered in this document are electrically the same but differ physically by the color of the radome, which is specified by the product part number shown in Table 1. The AIR-ANT2524DW-RS antenna includes self-identifying circuitry.
| Polarization | Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) | Antenna connector type | Antenna gain level (max) | Antenna gain (2.4 GHz) | Frequency band |
| Dual polarization | 2:1 | RP-TNC | 4 dBi | 2 dBi | 2.4/5 GHz |
