ANT-ROOM70-KIT= Overview

The ​​ANT-ROOM70-KIT=​​ is a Cisco ​​indoor antenna mounting kit​​ optimized for mid-sized spaces like conference rooms, classrooms, or retail floors. Designed for Cisco Aironet 1800/2800 Series access points, it includes components to enhance signal distribution while maintaining aesthetic discretion in office or hospitality environments.

Technical Specifications and Components

• ​​Included Items​​:
  • 2x ​​ANT-4G5G13-N​​ omnidirectional dipole antennas (dual-band, 4 dBi gain)
  • Low-profile ceiling/wall mount brackets
  • 3-meter RG-174 coaxial cables with RP-SMA connectors
  • Adhesive cable management clips
• ​​Frequency Support​​: 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz (Wi-Fi 6E)
• ​​Coverage Area​​: Up to 1,500 sq. ft. (140 m²) per AP in open spaces
• ​​Durability​​: Flame-retardant ABS housing (UL94 V-0 rated)

Key Applications and Benefits

​​1. High-Density Office Wi-Fi​​
Minimize dead zones in cubicle farms or open-plan offices with discreet ceiling-mounted antennas, avoiding bulky AP visibility.

​​2. Educational Environments​​
Ensure consistent coverage in lecture halls or labs where metal equipment or concrete walls cause signal attenuation.

​​3. Healthcare Facilities​​
Support medical IoT devices (e.g., infusion pumps, patient monitors) with low-latency 6 GHz backhaul.

Addressing Deployment Concerns

​​Q: Is this kit compatible with Cisco Catalyst 9100 APs?​​
No. It’s designed for Aironet 1800/2800 Series. For Catalyst APs, use ​​ANT-ROOM90-KIT=​​.

​​Q: Can antennas be painted to match ceilings?​​
Yes. The ABS housing accepts latex-based paints without degrading RF performance.

​​Q: What’s the maximum cable length supported?​​
Cisco recommends ≤5 meters. Beyond this, use ​​CAB-ANTENNA-CABLE-5M​​ to prevent signal loss.

Performance Considerations

• ​​Beamwidth​​: 360° horizontal / 60° vertical for balanced coverage and minimal overlap.
• ​​MU-MIMO Support​​: Optimized for 2×2 spatial streams in Wi-Fi 6/6E deployments.
• ​​Interference Mitigation​​: Shielding reduces crosstalk from Bluetooth devices or microwave ovens.

Practical Insight

In a hotel chain deployment, ceiling-mounted ANT-4G5G13-N antennas eliminated guest complaints about spotty Wi-Fi near elevators—areas where APs alone struggled due to steel reinforcement. However, adhesive clips failed in high-humidity zones; switching to screw-mounted brackets resolved the issue. While third-party antennas claim broader coverage, ITMALL’s Cisco-validated kits ensure precise impedance matching, which is critical for 6 GHz stability. For mid-sized indoor networks, this kit strikes a rare balance between performance and discretion.
