The Ubiquiti airMAX AM-5AC21-60 is a sector antenna designed for use in Point-to-Multipoint (PtMP) wireless networks.¹ It is a powerful external antenna that needs to be paired with a Ubiquiti airMAX radio, like a RocketM5ac, to form a complete base station.

Key Features and Specifications

• Frequency Band: It operates on the 5 GHz frequency band, which is less susceptible to interference than the 2.4 GHz band.²

   

• Gain: The antenna has a gain of 21 dBi, providing a strong and focused signal for long-distance links.

• Beamwidth: It has a 60° beamwidth, meaning it can cover a wide sector from a single location, allowing you to connect multiple client devices (CPEs) within that area.³

   

• Technology: It supports Ubiquiti's proprietary airMAX ac technology, which provides significant improvements in latency, noise immunity, and scalability compared to older wireless standards.⁴

   

• Compatibility: It is designed to be fully compatible with Ubiquiti's RocketM5ac radio, which snaps directly onto the back of the antenna for a seamless and integrated solution.⁵

   

• Weather-Resistant: The antenna is built to withstand harsh outdoor conditions.⁶ It features a robust design that protects it from wind and weather, making it suitable for tower installations.⁷

   

This antenna is a professional tool for Wireless Internet Service Providers (WISPs) and network engineers who need to build a high-performance wireless network to serve multiple clients from a central tower location.
