Internal vs External Antennas –

• Access Points  with internal antennas have an “i” (for example, AP 3600i) in the model number. They have captured antennas, which are part of the housing and not removable, and are designed for indoor enterprise installations where office aesthetics are a primary concern.
• Access Points with external antennas have an “e” (for example, AP 3600e) in the model number. They are ruggedly designed and are intended for use in locations such as hospitals, factories, warehouses, and other locations where there is a need for external antennas or extended operating temperatures. The external antenna models also support mounting inside NEMA enclosures for use in the most demanding environments.
