Carrier-Class Sector Coverage
The AM-5G17-90 delivers consistent, high-gain sector coverage for outdoor wireless networks. Its dual-linear polarization and 2x2 MIMO architecture maximize spectral efficiency when paired with a RocketM radio. The antenna’s 90° horizontal beamwidth, defined by a 93° vertical polarization and 72° horizontal polarization at 6 dB, ensures broad yet focused illumination of the service area. An 8° electrical beamwidth and 4° electrical downtilt further refine the coverage pattern, reducing interference and improving signal quality at the cell edge.
Rugged Design & Installation
Built for demanding outdoor environments, the antenna withstands wind speeds up to 125 mph and exhibits a wind loading of only 6 lbf at 100 mph. Its compact form factor (367 x 63 x 41 mm) and light weight (1.1 kg) simplify tower and pole deployments. The included universal pole mount, RocketM bracket, and weatherproof RF jumpers enable rapid, secure integration with RocketM radios, minimizing installation time and ensuring reliable, all-weather operation.
Compliance & Warranty
The AM-5G17-90 meets ETSI standard EN 302 326 DN2, confirming its adherence to European regulatory requirements for broadband radio access networks. Ubiquiti backs the antenna with a 12-month warranty, providing confidence in long-term outdoor deployments.
