Ubiquiti airMAX Sector Antenna 5GHz 10dBi (AM-5G1)

The Ubiquiti airMAX Sector Antenna 5GHz 10dBi (AM-5G1) is a versatile and high-performance antenna designed to deliver superior signal propagation in point-to-multipoint (PtMP) wireless applications. Operating within the 5 GHz frequency band, this antenna is optimized for seamless integration with Ubiquiti Rocket radios, making it a preferred choice for building scalable and efficient airMAX wireless networks. Its compact form factor, wide beamwidth, and rugged build make it particularly well-suited for short- to medium-range sector coverage in both urban and rural environments.

Designed to provide 10 dBi of gain, the AM-5G1 offers broad horizontal coverage with a beamwidth of approximately 120 degrees, allowing service providers and network operators to cover wide areas with minimal equipment. This makes it ideal for use in wireless internet service provider (WISP) networks where multiple client stations need to connect to a central base station. The antenna’s polarization isolation and optimized radiation pattern help reduce interference and improve throughput across the covered sector, resulting in enhanced user experience and stable connectivity.

The AM-5G1 is built with outdoor durability in mind. It features a weather-resistant enclosure that protects the internal elements from moisture, dust, and UV exposure. This rugged construction ensures the antenna can withstand harsh environmental conditions such as strong winds, rain, and fluctuating temperatures. Its mounting system is engineered for secure pole installations and allows for vertical tilt adjustment to fine-tune the coverage area. This ensures that the antenna can be easily aligned to maximize performance in real-world deployments.

As part of the airMAX ecosystem, the AM-5G1 is designed to integrate flawlessly with Rocket radios via its included mounting bracket. This plug-and-play setup simplifies deployment, enabling network administrators to quickly build out base stations without requiring proprietary tools or custom mounts. Once the Rocket radio is attached, the combination functions as a powerful sector access point capable of delivering high-throughput connectivity to a large number of CPE devices.

Furthermore, the antenna supports dual-linear polarization, which enhances signal integrity and helps mitigate multipath interference—an important factor in environments with reflective surfaces or obstructions. It also delivers solid front-to-back ratio and cross-polarization performance, contributing to consistent signal clarity and minimizing crosstalk from adjacent sectors.

In summary, the Ubiquiti airMAX Sector Antenna 5GHz 10dBi (AM-5G1) is an efficient and reliable solution for deploying wireless access sectors in airMAX networks. With its wide coverage angle, weatherproof design, and easy Rocket integration, it empowers ISPs and system integrators to deliver consistent, high-quality service across diverse terrain and user densities.
