Overview
The Ubiquiti RD-5G31-AC is an airMAX AC 5 GHz RocketDish antenna designed for point-to-point wireless bridge deployments using a compatible 5 GHz Rocket radio. It provides 31 dBi gain across the 5.1–5.8 GHz frequency range and uses dual-linear polarization for directional wireless links.
RF Performance
The antenna operates from 5.1 to 5.8 GHz with 31 dBi gain and a maximum VSWR of 1.4:1. Dual-linear polarization and minimum 35 dB cross-polarization isolation support separation between the two polarization paths. The antenna has a wind survivability rating of 200 km/h and wind loading of 1,028 N at 200 km/h.
Mounting and Deployment
The RD-5G31-AC includes a universal pole mount, RocketM bracket, and weatherproof RF jumpers. The supplied dish assembly includes a radome, mounting bracket, protective shroud, two pole clamps, two stabilizer brackets, two RF cables, and an elevation rod. A compatible 5 GHz Rocket radio is required and is sold separately.
Key Features
- 31 dBi gain for the 5.1–5.8 GHz range
- Dual-linear polarization with minimum 35 dB cross-polarization isolation
- 1.4:1 maximum VSWR
- 200 km/h wind survivability with 1,028 N wind loading at 200 km/h
- Universal pole mount, RocketM bracket, and weatherproof RF jumpers included
DC Supplies Product Note
The RD-5G31-AC is an antenna rather than a powered radio, so it does not provide wireless connectivity by itself. Deployment requires a compatible 5 GHz Rocket radio, which is purchased separately. The supplied RF cables connect the antenna to the radio, while the included mounting hardware supports pole installation.
