Ubiquiti airMAX MIMO 5GHz AC 60 Degree Sector High-Gain Antenna
The airMAX ac Sector Antennas feature significant advances in scalability, noise isolation, and beam performance to complement the Rocket 5ac radios in Point-to-MultiPoint (PtMP) networks. They are compatible with RocketM5 models; however, optimal performance requires the Rocket5ac.
Description
The Ubiquiti airMAX 5GHz 60 Degree Sector Antenna is designed for high-performance Point-to-MultiPoint wireless networking where reliable coverage, improved signal quality, and efficient spectrum use are important. With 21dBi gain and a focused 60 degree sector pattern, it provides targeted wireless coverage for airMAX base station deployments.
Designed to work with Ubiquiti Rocket radios, the antenna is well suited to wireless ISPs, outdoor network infrastructure, and other long-range 5GHz connectivity applications. Its 2x2 MIMO design supports the performance capabilities of compatible airMAX equipment, while the included mounting hardware and weatherproof RF jumpers simplify installation.
Features
Ubiquiti airMAX 5GHz 60 Degree Sector Antenna
The antenna operates across the 5.15 - 5.85 GHz frequency range and uses RP-SMA female connectors for connection to compatible Rocket radios. Its directional 60 degree coverage helps concentrate wireless energy across the intended service area instead of spreading the signal unnecessarily.
The antenna is particularly suitable for PtMP deployments where one central base station needs to serve multiple remote subscriber locations. The combination of high gain, directional coverage and MIMO operation makes it a practical choice for expanding outdoor wireless network coverage.
