Question about AIR-BR1310G-A-K9-R

[huwyhuwy123]

Hi there,

Can anyone tell me if the AIR-BR1310G-A-K9-R  has an internal antenna?

I can't seem to find the answer to this anywhere!

Cheers,

Huw

Yes it does.

The Cisco Aironet 1300 Series with integrated antenna can be quickly installed to provide a LAN bridge to a remote site or multiple sites. The 1300 Series with antenna connectors supports a variety of Cisco 2.4-GHz antennas, providing range and coverage versatility.

thanks for replying.

I'm still not clear though on whether the AIR-BR1310G-A-K9-R contains an internal antenna or whether I will need to purchase an external one.

HI,

The part number (the model number) of the device will dictate if the device comes with a internal antenna or if it needs an external antenns. For example, AIR-BR1310G-A-K9 is a 1310G bridge which comes with an integrated antenna. AIR-BR1310G-A-K9-R requires an external antenna.

You must buy external antenna for your AP.

Hi,

1300 Series Installation

The 1310 access point/bridge is available in two configurations:

• Integrated antenna access point/bridge (with 13-dBi patch array antenna)
• External antenna access point/bridge (with antenna connector for use with an external antenna)

Thanks a lot!

Can you recommend an suitable (outside use) omni-direction antenna?

I was looking at the AIR-ANT2506. I presume there is just one antenna to buy per access point?

Thanks again,
