Ubiquiti Radome Cover for RocketDish RD-2G (RAD-RD2)

The Ubiquiti Radome Cover for 2ft RocketDish antennas (RAD-RD2) is a purpose-built protective enclosure designed to enhance the performance, durability, and reliability of Ubiquiti’s 2-foot RocketDish antennas. In long-range point-to-point wireless applications, environmental factors such as wind, snow, ice, and debris can negatively impact performance and structural integrity. The RAD-RD2 offers a streamlined solution by shielding the critical components of the antenna system from these external elements, all while maintaining optimal RF performance and signal propagation.

Engineered with precision, the RAD-RD2 is molded to fit securely over the parabolic dish of the 2ft RocketDish, creating a protective aerodynamic barrier that helps reduce wind loading and drag. By eliminating wind turbulence and smoothing the overall structure, this radome helps stabilize the antenna during high-wind events, which can otherwise cause misalignment or mounting stress. This results in improved link stability and lower maintenance requirements for rooftop and tower installations—especially in regions exposed to frequent storms or seasonal weather changes.

The radome cover is constructed from durable, weather-resistant materials that are built to withstand prolonged exposure to sun, rain, snow, and particulate matter. This helps to prevent the accumulation of dirt, dust, and ice on the feed horn or dish surface, preserving signal clarity and reducing signal degradation over time. The RAD-RD2 also protects against bird nesting or insect intrusion—common issues in exposed antenna setups—which can compromise both performance and hardware longevity.

Visual appeal is another subtle yet valuable benefit. The RAD-RD2’s clean, smooth exterior lends a professional appearance to RocketDish installations, making it more suitable for deployments in urban or visible areas where aesthetics may matter, such as on commercial buildings or high-rise rooftops. This appearance not only improves public perception but can also reflect positively on the professionalism of the service provider or installer.

Installation of the RAD-RD2 is straightforward and integrates easily with the mounting hardware of the RocketDish itself. The form-fitted design ensures a snug, secure fit while allowing serviceability when needed. The included mounting accessories ensure that the cover stays in place even under windy or shifting weather conditions, keeping your antenna protected and operational year-round.

In summary, the Ubiquiti RAD-RD2 is a smart accessory for any 2ft RocketDish deployment. It offers critical protection against environmental stress, reduces mechanical wear through wind-load reduction, improves aesthetic integration, and contributes to consistent, long-term wireless performance. For installers and operators seeking to protect their investment and ensure dependable network links, the RAD-RD2 is a highly recommended addition to any outdoor high-performance wireless infrastructure.
