The Cisco 2.2 dBi ceiling mount diversity patch antenna is pictured in
Figure
. It is designed
for mounting to the metal grid of a suspended ceiling. This antenna is more
aesthetically pleasing than the rubber ducky. Its low profile allows it to
remain unnoticed in the ceiling. It comes with a clip that permits it to be
mounted to a drop ceiling cross member. The dimensions and radiation pattern
are shown in Figures

The Cisco
5.2 dBi ceiling mount omnidirectional antenna, shown in Figure
is designed to
be mounted to the metal grid of a suspended ceiling. It should be mounted with
the bolt-hole end pointing to the ceiling. This antenna is not a good choice
for schools or hospitals that have low ceilings. This is because the antenna
tends to be bumped and possibly damaged. This antenna is vertically polarized,
but it does have a slightly downward tilted beam. This allows its coverage
pattern to cover the areas below the ceiling. The dimensions and radiation
pattern are shown in Figures
and
