An AP500 with internal antennas?

Is there any chance that an AP500 might be developed with internal antennas?
I have at least one deployment where the AP541N might have been seriously considered, except for its external antennas, which for that site are too vulnerable... of being moved, tampered, etc.
So in that case the AP1142 with its internal antennas and smaller footprint, is a better fit.  But the 1142 is a lot more expensive, doesn't do clustering, etc.
If a new model of AP500 were developed to fit into the casing of an AP1140 that would be, for some customers, quite an enticing product!
But I'm not holding my breath... it seems Cisco made a decision to use only external antennas with these.

Rich,
Thank you for your feedback, its great to hear from end-users about how we can make our product lines fit your needs better. These boards are HIGHLY visible to Cisco. Therefore, I'm sure your concerns will be heard and addressed accordingly.

  • EIRP for Internal Antenna APs

    Hello everyone
    I understand EIRP for external Antenna APs  but does the transmit power of internal APs will be considered as EIRP or we will add antenna gain to get it? For Example 1131 and 1142 have different antenna gais so keeping tranmit power same 25mw will have same EIRP ro diffe

    It's exactly the same with internal antenna.
    The difference of antennas is not big enough to actually matter on EIRP here.
    Let me explain.
    The AP will adapt the transmit power by steps of 3db of gain of the antenna.
    Example : the AP transmits at 17dbm and you have a 3dbi gain antenna, the EIRP is 20.
    If you increase the antenna gain to 4, nothing will change. Only when arrived at 6dbi, the AP will lower the transmit power to 14dbm to stay at EIRP 20.
    So it's not granular enough to matter if the 1130 has a 3dbi antenna and the 1140 a 4dbi :-)

  • AP mounting options versus internal antennas

    Hi All,
    I have previously used the 1232s and 1242s with external antennas so I could wall mount them (ceiling mounted hardware is not always an option) and have the antennas oriented correctly. I'm now looking at the newer APs with 802.11n some of which have internal antennas and are more cost effective, e.g. the 1040. The 1040 has internal antennas but it is apparently wall mountable - from http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/access_point/1260/quick/guide/ap1260getstart.html#wp42683
    "Cisco Aironet 3500, 1260, 1140, 1130, and 1040 series access points can be mounted in several configurations, including on a suspended ceiling, on a hard ceiling or wall, on an elecrtical or network box, and above a suspended ceiling. Click this URL to browse to complete access point mounting instructions: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/access_point/mounting/guide/apmount.html "
    How does wall mounting an AP with internal antennas affect the coverage? Surely the antennas will be oriented the wrong way to provide the correct coverage pattern. Or are the antennas able to provide the same coverage no matter what way up they are?
    Many Thanks,
    Scott

    Hey Scott,
    The 1040, like the 1140 can be mounted on the wall.  The horizontal and vertical footprint is almost similar.  Like a ball.  So it won't make any severe difference at all.

  • Broken internal antenna!

    Hi all! First time I post here :P
    It's like this. I broke my internal antenna on my PowerBook G4 12" when I was going to check which airport card I had. I'm kind of.. violence of myself but anyway. I was going to check which card I had and the antenna.. Popped of the card. Or atleast I think it is the antenna.
    Well, it broke and now I CAN still found the card, but no connections (:P). Am I able to reconnect the cable in some way? Because there is some metallic thing sticking out from the card and the cable is.. Loose, and it's now harder to shut that little door to the card. Well.. I think that's all I can say for now.
    Here's two pic's of the thing ^_^ (Photo's taken with my mobile)
    Thanks for now! I hope you are able to help me!
    I can take pic's with my real digital camera if anyone wants better quality.

    Welcome to the discussions
    You have one of 2 choices you can either take it to an Apple store or contact Applecare, if you have it.
    Or if you want to attempt it, look at the link and you will see you can unplug the connecter to the card and twist the cable and insert it and either crimp it or solder it and then re attach it.

  • 1300 Series w/ Internal Antenna

    We have installed several external antenna 1300's but this is the first with an internal antenna. Which direction is the wireless radiating? The mount that we have places the front (grey side) against a wall with the rear facing outward. Thanks.

    Hi Michael,
    You probably want to reverse this mounting, the radiation patterns for the 1300 are shown (at the very end of this doc)
    From this Antenna reference guide;

  • Best direction for internal antenna on 1602i

    Can anyone suggest best direction for internal antenna on 1602i when placed on a wall, as i am aware that best location for these AP's is to be placed on ceilings with antenna direction at 90 for best results.
    I have done this with the majority of AP's but some need to be mounted on walls, so looking for some info on antenna direction for best results in coverage.
    Thanks

    Hello, tavery. 
    Check table 5, 6, and 7 on this link for several antenna options for a 1600 AP. Will you be needing an Omnidirectional antenna for your application?

  • Qosmio F60-L10 - How to configure tv tuner with integrated antenna?

    good evening,
    i have a notebook toshiba qosmio f60 ,i had read your answer about tv tuner.
    my question is : how to configure tv tuner with integrated antenna? thanks

    Hi 3171954,
    I think Paolo30 is right. Qosmio F60 is equipped with internal DVB-T but in some cases you need an external antenna to pick up the low signal. In most cases only in large citys you dont need an external antenna. If you live on the fringe of the city, normally a cable is needed.
    Anyway, do you mean an external antenna or external DVB-T receiver (USB stick)?
    Normally Windows media center should recognize the internal DVB-T tuner. Is it listed in device manager? Did you update the driver?

  • Problem with internal speakers of MacBook Pro

    Hi,
    I wanted to know if anyone have experienced a problem with internal speakers of Mac Book Pro. In my MackBook the Internal speaker volume goes down automatically. I checked the System Preferences>Sound>Output , from there I check that it is in the middle ( Balance) However, the problem is still the exists. Just for testing I played an audio file and I moved the bar toward the right speaker it is the same and when I move toward the left speaker the whole sound goes off . Looks like one speaker stops working completely. Then I checked the Utilities > Audio MIDI Setup > Configure Speakers  from there I checked both left and right speakers and the channel frequency is fine. Still same issue.  I have no idea what is going on , I really need your suggestions to get this fixed.
    Thanks in advance.

    No. The US store does not provide anything but US or Spanish (I think) keyboards. You have to order from the UK store to get an English keyboard.
    The current options available online are U.S. English, Western Spanish, French or Japanese keyboards. You might try calling 1-800-MYAPPLE to speak to someone. It's possible you might be able to get something else as a BTO option.
