Detailed description

The Ubiquiti RocketDish 5G Directional Antenna (RD-5G) is a high-gain, carrier-class antenna specifically engineered for long-range, point-to-point (PtP) wireless bridging in the 5 GHz frequency band. Designed to deliver exceptional performance in demanding outdoor environments, the RD-5G provides robust signal strength, extended range, and improved throughput for backhaul connectivity. It is part of Ubiquiti's airMAX ecosystem and is optimized for seamless integration with Rocket radios, allowing service providers and enterprise users to deploy reliable wireless links in remote or wide-area network infrastructures.

Operating across a frequency range of 4.9 to 5.8 GHz, the RD-5G offers outstanding gain characteristics, typically 30 dBi at 5 GHz and up to 34 dBi at 5.8 GHz. This high gain, combined with a narrow 3° beamwidth, enables precise targeting and minimizes interference from neighboring signals. Such directional precision is crucial for maintaining stable, high-performance links over long distances—ideal for applications like backhaul between towers, remote site connectivity, or bridging isolated buildings within campus networks. The antenna also features superior front-to-back ratio and cross-polarization isolation, ensuring optimal signal clarity and reducing potential interference from surrounding equipment or environmental sources.

Built with durability in mind, the RD-5G is housed in a rugged, weather-resistant enclosure that protects it from rain, snow, dust, and harsh environmental conditions. The construction is wind-rated up to 200 km/h (125 mph), making it suitable for deployment in exposed locations such as hilltops, rooftops, and tower masts. Its high resistance to wind loading not only secures the antenna’s physical integrity but also contributes to maintaining stable alignment, which is essential for preserving link quality over time.

Installation of the RD-5G is user-friendly and efficient, thanks to its universal pole mount and Rocket mounting bracket. It supports plug-and-play compatibility with Ubiquiti Rocket radios, allowing for quick and secure attachment. The antenna also comes equipped with weatherproof RF connectors, helping ensure long-term reliability and signal integrity. This modular design reduces deployment time while simplifying future maintenance or upgrades.

In addition to its technical advantages, the RD-5G is designed with professional-grade standards in mind. Its performance characteristics, such as a VSWR below 1.4:1 and a high front-to-back ratio of over 40 dB, contribute to efficient power transfer and minimal signal reflection, maximizing link efficiency and throughput.

In summary, the Ubiquiti RocketDish 5G Directional Antenna (RD-5G) is an essential tool for network professionals who require high-performance, long-distance wireless communication. With its impressive gain, rugged build, and seamless Rocket integration, it provides a reliable and powerful solution for backhaul and PtP wireless networking.
