FAQs
What is the antenna gain and what does 30dBi mean?
The RD-5G30-LW delivers 30dBi of directional gain, which focuses RF energy in a narrow beam pattern. Higher dBi values enable longer-distance point-to-point links with improved signal strength and reduced interference from off-axis sources.
What does dual-polarity performance mean?
2x2 dual-polarity means the antenna supports simultaneous transmission and reception on both vertical and horizontal polarisation planes, effectively doubling capacity and improving link reliability in challenging radio conditions.
Why is the extended dish reflector important?
The extended dish depth improves the antenna's ability to reject noise and interference from sources outside the main beam pattern. This is essential in co-location environments where multiple operators share tower space.
Is this antenna compatible with other Ubiquiti radio products?
The RD-5G30-LW is specifically compatible with the Rocket Prism 5AC radio. Compatibility with other Ubiquiti radio platforms should be verified with the manufacturer or Hyetech Australia.
What is the warranty coverage?
The RD-5G30-LW includes a 12-month manufacturer's warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship under normal operating conditions.
Is professional installation required?
Whilst the lightweight design simplifies handling, antenna installation requires proper positioning, alignment, and cable management. We recommend qualified RF technicians perform installation to ensure optimal performance and safety.
What are typical use cases for this antenna?
Common applications include carrier backhaul links, point-to-point fixed wireless access, remote site connectivity, and network extension over distances up to several kilometres, depending on radio power and terrain.
