Single or Dual-Radio Operation
The access point supports single or simultaneous dual radio operation using a 2.4-GHz 802.11g radio
and a 5-GHz 802.11a radio. The radios use integrated sector patch antennas or external antennas (see the
“Antennas Supported” section).
The 5-GHz radio incorporates an Unlicensed National Information Infrastructure (UNII) radio
transceiver operating in the UNII 5-GHz frequency bands.
Antennas Supported
The access points are available in three configurations:
• AIR-AP1010—Supports only integrated antennas
• AIR-AP1020—Supports integrated and external antennas
• AIR-AP1030—Supports integrated and external antennas
The 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz radios have two integrated 6 dBi directional patch antennas. The integrated
antennas provide diversity operation for the 2.4 GHz radio. The antennas are located on the front and
back sides of the access point.
Caution The access point, the antennas, and the power source (power injector or power module) are not designed
for outdoor use and must be located in an indoor environment.
