Frequently Asked Questions
What is a 90° sector antenna used for?
A 90° sector antenna is designed for Point-to-MultiPoint networks where one base station serves multiple client devices across a defined coverage area. The 90° pattern provides optimal balance between coverage width and directional gain, making it ideal for urban and suburban wireless deployments.
Is the airMAX 2.4 GHz antenna compatible with all Ubiquiti radios?
The airMAX antenna is specifically designed for Ubiquiti Rocket M and Rocket Prism base station radios. Always verify radio compatibility before installation to ensure optimal performance in your PtMP network.
What does 16 dBi gain mean for wireless coverage?
The 16 dBi gain indicates the antenna's ability to focus and amplify signal strength in its coverage pattern. Higher dBi values extend range and improve signal quality, making this antenna suitable for long-distance 2.4 GHz deployments requiring high capacity.
Can this sector antenna be used indoors?
No, this is an outdoor-rated sector antenna designed for external mounting on towers and poles. For indoor Point-to-MultiPoint coverage, consider Ubiquiti's indoor antenna solutions.
