Cisco AIR-ANT5180V-N

Overview

The Cisco AIR-ANT5180V-N is an omnidirectional antenna designed specifically for Cisco Aironet 1520 series mesh access points operating in the 5 GHz band. It provides 8 dBi of gain to extend Wi-Fi coverage evenly across a wide outdoor area. This antenna radiates a balanced 360-degree horizontal signal, making it ideal for environments where users or devices move freely without losing connectivity.

Built for permanent outdoor installation, the antenna features a sealed housing that resists rain, dust, and temperature fluctuations. Its lightweight design allows for easy mounting on poles, rooftops, or building sides, and the N-type connector ensures direct compatibility with Cisco Aironet 1522AG and 1524 access points without requiring additional adapters.

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.
