Overview:
airMAX MIMO 5GHz 90 Degree Sector Antenna - 17dBi
The Ubiquiti airMAX MIMO 5GHz 90 Degree Sector Antenna is designed to provide reliable sector coverage for Point-to-MultiPoint (PtMP) wireless networks. With 17dBi gain and a 90 degree coverage pattern, it is well suited to deployments that require focused wireless coverage across a defined area. The antenna is designed to pair with a Rocket M BaseStation, providing a practical solution for building high-performance airMAX wireless networks.
Description:
The Ubiquiti AM-5G17-90 is a 5GHz mid-gain sector antenna built for professional wireless networking applications. Its 2x2 MIMO design supports airMAX BaseStation deployments, while the 90 degree sector pattern helps concentrate the wireless signal where coverage is required. The antenna operates across the 4.90 to 5.85 GHz frequency range and includes the mounting hardware and RF jumpers needed for installation.
Whether used for extending broadband connectivity, establishing wireless links or deploying a PtMP network, the AM-5G17-90 provides a focused and dependable antenna solution for outdoor wireless infrastructure.
Features:
Ubiquiti 5GHz 90 Degree Sector Antenna for PtMP Networks
Pair the airMAX sector antenna with a compatible Rocket M BaseStation to create a sector-based wireless network. The 90 degree beam coverage allows network operators to target a specific area rather than broadcasting across a full 360 degree radius, making it suitable for structured wireless deployments.
The 17dBi gain provides mid-gain performance for applications where a balance between coverage and signal concentration is required. Its 2x2 MIMO architecture is designed for use with Ubiquiti airMAX equipment and professional outdoor wireless networks.
