The AIR-ANT1728 is a vertically polarized dipole with an omnidirectional horizontal pattern. Its specification table gives a 2.4–2.483 GHz operating range and a 0.91 m plenum-rated RG-58 lead. It requires a compatible radio; it does not replace the access point.
Cisco describes a suspended-ceiling track bracket for tracks 20.6–31.7 mm wide. Confirm the mounting parts actually supplied with a legacy unit. The 29.2 cm antenna body needs appropriate clearance below the track.
EOL12449 identifies this exact part: manufacturer ordering ended April 30, 2019 and the last support date was April 30, 2024. The notice recommends migration to dual-band antennas but does not name a direct replacement in this row.
Specify the radio model, connector, mounting arrangement and condition requirements. Verify a proposed substitute against the actual installation rather than accepting a similar gain value alone. Any reseller warranty must be documented separately from expired manufacturer support.
