Cisco MA-ANT-23

Overview

The Cisco MA-ANT-23 is a 2.4 GHz sector antenna designed to enhance wireless coverage by focusing signal strength within a defined arc. Delivering 11 dBi of gain, it extends Wi-Fi reach in outdoor and indoor environments such as courtyards, parking lots, and warehouse aisles where omnidirectional antennas may not provide sufficient coverage. This antenna supports 2x2 MIMO connections with compatible Meraki access points, ensuring reliable throughput and extended range for demanding applications like video streaming and guest internet access.

Key features

• 11 dBi gain concentrates the Wi-Fi signal to cover specific areas more effectively than omnidirectional antennas
• Operates at 2.4 GHz frequency to support both client devices and point-to-point wireless links
• 2x2 MIMO design leverages two spatial streams for improved data throughput and connection stability
• Directional sector pattern is ideal for targeting coverage in courtyards, loading docks, campus walkways, and similar spaces
• Compatible with Cisco Meraki MR62, MR66, and MR72 access points for seamless integration
• Flexible mounting options allow installation on walls or poles, indoors or outdoors, adapting to various deployment needs
• Dual N-type connectors provide a secure, weather-resistant connection that withstands rain, dust, and temperature changes
• Can be paired back-to-back to create long-range wireless bridges, reducing the need for costly cable installations between buildings

Connectivity and compatibility

This antenna connects directly to the two radio chains on supported Meraki access points using standard N-type connectors, ensuring a tight and weatherproof seal. Its design supports 2x2 MIMO, which enhances wireless performance by using two spatial streams simultaneously. The MA-ANT-23 is fully compatible with Cisco Meraki MR62, MR66, and MR72 models, making it a versatile choice for expanding or focusing Wi-Fi coverage in various environments.

Installation and setup

Installation is straightforward with the included mounting bracket, which can be attached to a wall or pole depending on your site requirements. The antenna’s rugged enclosure is built to withstand outdoor conditions, allowing it to be placed on light poles, building exteriors, or indoor locations such as above auditorium stages. The dual N-type connectors screw directly onto the access point, creating a secure and weather-resistant connection that maintains signal integrity over time.

Ideal uses and environments

The MA-ANT-23 is well suited for deployments that require focused Wi-Fi coverage in outdoor or semi-outdoor spaces like courtyards, parking areas, and warehouse aisles. It also works effectively in campus environments where directional coverage is needed along walkways or loading docks. Additionally, using two units back-to-back enables the creation of wireless bridges between buildings, offering a cost-effective alternative to trenching cables. This antenna is a strong choice for network teams looking to improve signal strength and reliability in targeted areas while maintaining flexibility in installation.

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.
