Aruba Q8N49A

Overview

The Aruba Q8N49A is a dual band omni-directional antenna kit designed to enhance Wi-Fi coverage for access points using RP-SMA connectors. Each antenna provides 2 dBi gain on the 2.4 GHz band and 4 dBi gain on the 5 GHz band, delivering a balanced combination of extended reach and broad signal distribution. Its low profile housing allows it to fit discreetly in ceiling enclosures, wall mounts, or other tight spaces, making it a practical upgrade for indoor wireless networks.

Connectivity and compatibility

This antenna kit is compatible with Aruba indoor access points that feature RP-SMA connectors and support dual band Wi-Fi. Its design allows it to replace standard stub antennas easily, enhancing signal strength without requiring changes to the existing network hardware or setup. The low profile form factor ensures it fits well in common mounting environments such as ceilings and walls.

Ideal uses and environments

The Q8N49A antennas are well suited for environments where reliable wireless coverage is needed across open spaces with multiple users, such as small offices, co-working spaces, classrooms, hospitality venues, and retail floors. Their omni-directional pattern helps maintain consistent connectivity for mobile users moving throughout these areas, reducing dead zones and improving overall network experience.

We act solely as a reseller. Any product warranty is provided and administered by the manufacturer, not by our store. That means eligibility, coverage, and outcomes are determined by the manufacturer’s policy for each brand and model. Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the warranty terms on the manufacturer’s website or in the product documentation to confirm what is covered and for how long.

If you need warranty service, please file the claim directly with the manufacturer. They may require proof of purchase, the product serial number, original packaging, photos, or basic troubleshooting. Some brands ask you to register the product or obtain a case number before shipping it for repair or replacement. We don’t submit or approve claims, but we can point you to the correct support links and contact details.

Keep your invoice and packaging in a safe place, and report any functional issues to the manufacturer as soon as they appear. If you’re unsure whether a problem is covered, the manufacturer’s support team can confirm next steps and timelines. While we cannot intervene in decisions or outcomes, we’re happy to provide purchase documentation or guidance so you can move through the warranty process smoothly.
