Altitude 300-2 Getting Started Guide 9
The radios support antenna diversity for the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands. The Altitude 300-2i has two
integrated, dual band antennas that operate simultaneously in the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands. The
Altitude 300-2d has antenna connectors for external antennas that operate in the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz
bands. For proper wireless operation, antennas must be attached to both RP-SMA or RP-TNC antenna
ports.

External antennas must be certified by Extreme Networks or selected by a professional installer to
ensure they meet all regulatory requirements.
