Ubiquiti AirMAX 16 dBi Sector
Ubiquiti AirMAX 16 dBi Sector
The Ubiquiti AirMAX 16 dBi Sector directional WiFi antenna is designed for outdoor signal transmission in the 5GHz frequency band. The device uses dual linear polarisation for wireless data transmission in Point-to-MultiPoint networks. The antenna's construction is resistant to external elements and winds of up to 200km/h. The device operates in a frequency range of 5.10 to 5.85GHz. This sector antenna supports MIMO 2×2 technology and has a gain ranging from 15 to 16dBi. It complies with the ETSI EN 302 326 DN2 standard for wireless networks.
Key features of the Ubiquiti AirMAX 16 dBi Sector WiFi antenna
- Operates in the 5GHz frequency band
- Uses dual linear polarisation
- Wind resistant up to 200km/h
- Antenna gain up to 16dBi
- Cross-polarisation isolation of at least 22dB
- Built-in mount simplifies Rocket radio unit installation
Integration with Rocket radio
The antenna includes an integrated mounting element for the direct attachment of a Rocket radio unit. Installation requires no special tools, making deployment easier at internet provider access points. The user simply slides the unit into place and secures the entire assembly. The connection creates a sector base station for long-distance data transmission. The system allows for flexible network configuration depending on the requirements of the specific location. The included weatherproof cables provide the connection to the radio.
Radiation parameters
The horizontal plane beamwidth is 137°. The vertical beamwidth is 118° at a 6dB sensitivity drop. The electrical beamwidth is 8°, and the electrical downtilt is fixed at 4°. These parameters determine the directional properties and signal coverage in the target area. The maximum standing wave ratio (VSWR) is 1.5:1. The antenna transmits a signal with high directional accuracy in both horizontal and vertical polarisation.
Weather resistance, construction and installation
The mechanical design is suitable for demanding outdoor conditions during long-term operation. The construction withstands wind pressure up to 200km/h, which corresponds to a wind load of 26N at a speed of 160km/h. The antenna meets the strict specifications of the ETSI EN 302 326 DN2 standard for outdoor wireless devices. The materials used protect the internal electronic parts from moisture and rain. The device maintains stable parameters in adverse weather. The physical dimensions of the antenna body are 367×63×41mm, with a total weight of 1.1kg. A mounting system that requires no special tools facilitates installation on a mast. The entire mounting and connection process takes minimal time. Weatherproof RF jumpers protect the connectors from corrosion and water ingress. The device is fully compliant with standards for safe outdoor installations.
Cross-polarisation isolation
Dual linear polarisation uses MIMO 2×2 technology to efficiently transmit two independent data streams. The cross-polarisation isolation shows a minimum value of 22dB and suppresses mutual signal interference. The device effectively filters out ambient interference and noise in a crowded frequency spectrum. This isolation contributes to a stable wireless connection over long distances. The antenna thus provides high transmission capacity even in locations with a high concentration of other transmitters.
