HPE Aruba AP-ANT-328 Directional Panel Antenna
The HPE Aruba AP-ANT-328 is a directional panel antenna designed for wireless access point deployments. It features a tri-band 2x2 high-gain configuration using RP-SMA connectors. This antenna focuses signal energy in a specific direction to extend wireless coverage. It is built for professional networking environments requiring targeted signal distribution.
Suited for focused coverage deployments
Network engineers deploying wireless access points in corridors, warehouses or outdoor corridors will benefit from the directional pattern. The RP-SMA interface connects directly to compatible Aruba access points supporting external antennas. Installations requiring omnidirectional radiation or ceiling-mounted aesthetics should consider alternative antenna styles. Buyers needing integrated antenna solutions must select different access point models.
Tri-band 2x2 high-gain signal extension
The antenna provides high gain across three frequency bands to improve link quality and range for 2x2 MIMO client connections. It comfortably handles point-to-point links and long-corridor coverage where client density is moderate. Capacity diminishes in high-density environments requiring wide-angle sector coverage or multi-user spatial multiplexing beyond two streams. The fixed directional pattern limits flexibility for dynamic roaming scenarios.

Questions about this item
Which RP-SMA ports on my Aruba access point must be free to attach the AP-ANT-328?
The antenna uses two RP-SMA connectors for its 2x2 MIMO design, so you need a pair of adjacent RP-SMA antenna ports on the access point.
Will the 87-degree beam-width of the AP-ANT-328 cover the same area as the dipole antennas I currently use?
The panel antenna focuses energy into an 87-degree directional pattern, giving longer reach in one direction but less side coverage than omni dipoles.
How can I confirm the AP-ANT-328 is radiating correctly after installation?
Check the AP's radio dashboard for improved signal-to-noise ratio and client RSSI in the aimed sector, and run a site-survey to verify the 87-degree coverage lobe.
