Hi community,
I don't have hands-on with extenal antennas, I have always used the IAP's integrated omni-directional downtilt antennas, and fine with them. Right now I have to install some IAPs 305 at 12 meters height with omnidirectional pattern, and wonder if I need external antennas. Looking at Aruba antennas there are several models, and if you want to have directional patterns, high gain, etc. you can find some types which can fit. But in the case AP-ANT-13B, this is a omni-directional downtilt antenna. Why would I need this external antenna if I can achieve the same operation with the IAP's integrated omni-directional downtilt antennas? For example, if IAP-305/315 antennas has very similar gain and radiation patterns than that of AP-ANT-13B, why to make things more difficult with this external antennas?
Regards,
Julián
