Introduction to Cisco Catalyst 9130 Access Point
with 9104 Stadium Antenna
This document describes the Introduction to Cisco Catalyst 9130 Access Point with 9104 Stadium Antenna
(C-ANT9104) and provides electrical specifications and mounting instructions. The antenna is an eight-port
polarization-diverse, ultralow sidelobe patch array that operates over the 2.4-GHz and supports dual 5-GHz
Wi-Fi bands. At 5-GHz, the antenna supports beamwidth switching as well as beam steering. The antenna
supports stadiums, large public venues. It ships with an articulating mount for flat surfaces and masts and is
adjustable in horizontal and vertical planes.
Note
• The C9130AXE-x part number is a certified indoor access point.
• The C9130AXE-STA-x bundle, consisting of the C9130AXE-x AP and C-ANT9104 antenna, is a
factory-assembled bundle and is protected from weather elements for use in indoor or outdoor
environments such as arenas and stadiums.
